2018-19 Soccer Thread - Africa Loses the World Cup - Tottenham Comes in Second

[Roranora]

I would like to personally thank Chucky Lozano and PSV for showing up with that dead rubber desire today.

[Roranora]

Group winners: Dortmund, Barcelona, Paris/Doha, Porto, Bayern*, Man City*, Real Madrid*, Juventus*

Runners-up: Atletico Madrid, Tottenham, Liverpool, Schalke, Ajax*, Lyon*, Roma*, Man United*

* = pending tomorrow's results

Spurs draw Dortmund, PSG, Porto, Bayern, Real Madrid, or Juventus.

Liverpool draw Dortmund, Barcelona, Porto, Bayern, Real Madrid, or Juventus.

United draw Dortmund, Barcelona, PSG, Porto, Bayern, or Real Madrid.

Let's get Spurs-PSG, Liverpool-Barcelona, and Man United-Bayern. Throw in City-Atleti too.

[Zetanio]

I would like to draw Porto or Bayern

[Roranora]

revenge on Juventus would be pretty sweet

[Tyrath]

I would like to draw Porto or Bayern

Why do you wanna get out so early bud? RO16 doesn't happen till Feb/Mar. We're not going to be limping the whole time.

lol

CSKA Moscow beats Real Madrid 3-0.

They have beaten RM twice during the group stages. But they end on 7 points and in last place because Roma lost to Viktoria Plzeň

[Zetanio]

how the mighty have fallen.

[Zetanio]

or how much putin paid RM to lose.

[Zetanio]

Ugh. Bus parking is boring as fuck.

[FallingHigher]

Burnley deserved something out of that.

Fucking Liverpool jamming it again, two deflections, two goals

No, they didn't.

Arsenal dropping to Southampton is pretty hilarious. Their defense is almost as chewed up as ours. Should be a fun derby.

[Tyrath]

Oh shit Dortmund gonna avenge last season against the Spurs.

Also fuck, Liverpool was probably the last team I wanted to face lol

[Zetanio]

git fuckt m8 We can hopefully beat Dortmund but as always with Spurs I will be disappointed most of the time and then get wildly surprised and nearly die or just stay disappointed.

[Tyrath]

Reus will probably injure himself before you guys play

[Zetanio]

Arsenal has seemed to kill their whole defense before this game on Wednesday, giving us a better chance than normal. I hate playing them away though. It's fucking nightmarish.

[Roranora]

that whole R16 draw is lit biscuits

[Roranora]

It'll be glorious to see PSG thrash United. There was a period of play in France-Belgium this summer where Mbappe easily, tauntingly, repeatedly danced around Fellaini. Let's hope we're treated to some more of that.

It's a shame one of Atleti and Juve are going out, and similarly one of Roma and Porto will be in the quarterfinals.

Barca and Man City should be able to cruise. Many neutrals should be rooting for Ajax to find and dust off those European credentials of old against Real Madrid.

Liverpool-Bayern and Spurs-Dortmund ought to be the ties of the round and closest to 50/50.

[Tyrath]

I think I'd find more enjoyment if PSG somehow lost to this United team.

1-0 and 0-0 incoming.

[Zetanio]

I wouldn't. PSG should run over them. Maybe Pogba will actually learn how to play.
