2016-2017 Soccer Thread: The Post Leicester City Apocalypse

Champions League was lit today, yeesh.

**Tyrath** · 2017-02-21 19:34

Damn, sad I missed out on those games.

**Roranora** · 2017-02-21 20:32

Meh at anything non-live but FS2 has the City-Monaco replay on now. 24th min, just before the first goal still.

**Roranora** · 2017-02-21 20:44

Seeing it again the Aguero dive was probably an okay call.

**Talint** · 2017-02-21 22:28

It's a super tough call, imo. I think he's leaping over the keeper's leg and gets tripped up on the grass in the process. I don't think he was diving, but I'm not sure there was contact either.

Carding for diving is like, I get it, but man is it derided when it's not executed correctly.

Would be better for retrospective punishment.

Definitely a tough call -- I can give it no better a review than 'probably okay.'

So today is the day, Leicester's away leg in the last 16. What are you gonna show us Leicester!?

A spirited 2-1 defeat at least keeping the tie alive? Or a 6-0 beatdown and a cruel reminder all of the magic has been pilfered?

Porto-Juve might be dece

They are gonna get smashed up.

close enough

It's still a tie but Leicester will have to cook up something special in 3 weeks. Sevilla have so much more quality, and it was painfully apparent throughout.

Only 3 of the last-16 ties may have interesting second legs. I think Dortmund will turn it around. Don't miss Man City's trip to Monaco.

Of City, Arsenal, and Leicester: Leicester is the only one who managed to let in less than three goals.

Soccer is weird.

There was contact, but it was clear the contact was caused by Aguero - he was diving into the GK in an attempt to get him sent off - its not like he was aiming himself towards the ball to make an attempt at playing the ball - it was going in a different direction, and Aguero could have gone around the GK or hopped over him. Absolutely the right call in the spirit of the game imo, but i'm honestly not sure how the rules are worded nowadays.
