We have 9W, 4D and 1L in the last 14 matches against you guys. Makes me feel like the ball will bounce your way this time.
I didn’t think I would ever see a heart break bigger than what happened to Milan in Istanbul. But fuck I think Ajax defeat today tops it. Stunning
Watching the game back now. Absolutely incredible how many chances both teams had today. What a game.
Definitely, noticed that right off of his foot. It flattened the ball out and allowed it to skip over the turf like that. A bigger question is why the fuck did Ajax have so many guys so far up the field? The fact that Spurs had even numbers against their back line during that last attack is unconscionable
This all English final is great because I can't wait to see how the EPL board divided. Liverpool and Arsenal fans on one side, Spurs and United fans on the other. Where do City and Chelsea fans go? I assume Chelsea would go for Liverpool not wanting an in city rival to match the Champions League total but Liverpool are one of Chelsea's biggest rivals dating back to the founding of their club in 2003. City fans been knocked out by both clubs the last two years but I assume they'll lean towards Spurs even though it'll be one more English team with a European Cup.
De Ligt was 11/15. It was a failure by Ajax to not bracket Llorente or switch De Ligt onto him much earlier. Teams used to do this to Liverpool and have some big schlub go stand on Martin Skrtel and just kick long balls at him all day.
Llorente, Dele, Rose, Sissoko were overshadowed by Lucas but they were simply magical in that second half. Llorente completely changed the game
not exactly thrilled by spurs getting one before us but if we get the treble, i will be more thrilled with the season success and rooting heavily against our biggest competition all year aka yall our group text was a bit divided on which one to back mainly because some say there is no preferred option. but its an easy call for me
also possibly looking at: chelsea/arsenal europa final liverpool/spurs champions final city treble poor united :( Spoiler sike lol
I imagine most of the non Liverpool/Arsenal group will be pulling for Spurs based on the boards history
I'd absolutely still be raging if I were an Ajax fan. I know it was house money but my fucking god that was soul crushing.
The way they played the last 5 minutes was unbelievable. Couldn't keep it in the corner, had numbers on a break and did nothing, didn't take it to the corner, then got caught up field with 15 seconds left in the match and gave away a goal.
Odds on this are weird. Third game of the season. Kane looming. Liverpool players have last years final experience but it was a weird game. Will Lloris be drunk. Will Firmino be fit.
