I did not see a thread, which is surprising.  First legs of the Ro16 are completed.  Gotta say, not happy with the final half hour the other day.  Should have left with a victory and two away goals.  Still the favorite returning to Munich but the injuries on the back line are definitely effecting things.  Kimmich is not good enough at all to win the CL with.

As for the oher match-ups, I found it interesting to see that Atletico failed to get an away goal again Einhoven, that would crack me up.

The other two teams that are in danger heading home are Zenit and Chelsea, each down a goal to Benfica and PSG respectively (although Chelsea has an away goal)

Barca, Real, and City all lead by multiple goals while Wolfsburg has a one goal lead and three away goals.

Interesting statistic.  In three of the past four years Bayern, Barca, and Real were in the semi-finals.  The exception was two years ago when Bayern and Real were both in it.  Those teams have never met in the finals though.

Can't believe Juve didn't have a clause in Coman's loan contract that made sure he couldn't face his parent club. His goal was the nail in the coffin.

Chelsea had that a few years back with Atletico if I recall correctly.  I think UEFA let the guy play anyway?

Is it just me or does Real play Bundesliga teams a lot?

At least four years in a row, so it's not you.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
