What do you all expect from the PSG-Bayern semi-final? Should be an epic battle, judging by their current season. Is there a favorite? Sadly, I can’t watch it, but I’ll follow it on the kicker live feed.
I’m starting to develop World Cup fever , I know because one of the symptoms is rooting for injuries in that game for all the important players of any national team with chances to win it.
Well, that’s just mean! 
Thank Godott I don’t have to root for a Messi injury then!
It’s the ugly truth
Of course! Messi has absolutely no chance at all of winning it again. France or Spain, England or Brazil will take it in a walk.
Wow, from what I gather, the game doesn’t disappoint, There’s a hockey score of 5-3 at the moment (70. minute).
ETA: and now 5-4!
Any relevant injuries? 
How could injuries be relevant for you if
?
I suspect they’re still scoring, even with time ended. Next week will be manic!
I plead the fifth!
Yeah, could be epic again. Both sides seemed to show no quarter today, and it could be the same next week. Though I’m still expecting Bayern to turn it around.
ETA: when was the last time that Manuel Neuer had to concede five goals? I remember a DFB cup game Bayern lost 0-5 against Gladbach a few years ago, but I can’t remember if Neuer played that game.
Yeah, that was Neuer. He’s also given up five against Eintracht…twice!
Apparently this was the first time in the CL (or maybe just knockouts) that a goalie had conceded 5 without making a single save. PSG were absolutely clinical, and Bayern weren’t too far behind.
Here’s hoping for a mind-numbing 1-0 to the Arsenal tomorrow as a palate cleanser!
Well, they didn’t make it into the playoffs, do you can rest easy.
But now we are faced with the prospect of Leeds and Millwall being in the Premier League. That would be er, interesting. I’m sure Premier League Mornings on NBC/USA will be sanitizing the pre-match festivities at those matches.
They’ve played each other around few times in recent years in the Championship. Not sure how those went but can’t recall too much trouble?
My team Ipswich got over the line but it was more of a fastest loser contest behind Coventry than anything more convincing than that. Whether we can do a better job of the PL next season than the last attempt is up for debate, that’s for sure.
The last match I saw between them (it was FA cup because we do not get Championship matches in TV here) there was an empty section of the stands below where the visiting Millwall fans were. Apparently because it wasn’t safe for anyone to be sitting there, and to provide a buffer area for the stewards to stop any attempt at a pitch invasion.
And this was an away match for Millwall.
And there was some extreme security to keep the fans separated as they got from the buses and trains to the stadium. I guess there are special buses chartered. They come to sons cordoned off area and the away supporters are then funneled though a cordoned off path to the designated seating area. With lots of police on foot and in horseback.
I don’t follow Championship football much, but I know when I suggested I go watch a match at Millwall (vs Cardiff City) a few years ago when I was in London (there were no Premier League matches that week), my hosts said I must be crazy.
Hey @EinsteinsHund, tough year for BMG, but I watched the match and was glad to see the late goal. They played sharply while suppressing Dortmund, and they earned it.
Thanks, @Maserschmidt, I couldn’t watch the game, but will watch a summary later in the evening on WDR. It’s been a tough season, and this was our first win against BVB in years, exactly at the right moment. And from what I read at kicker.de, it was a deserved win.
Milwall’s playoff opponent, Hull City, slips past Wrexham on the final day to get in, disappointing TV executives in the US. Middlesbrough and my Southampton in the other semi.
