Liverpool slightly lucky with two of those penalties, but you make your own luck, blah blah blah.
I cleaned my teeth instead of watching the first three. Even as a neutral I hate penalty shootouts, but can't help watching the final few...

EDIT: The one in extra time that, on second viewing, wasn't.Last edited by Toby Gymshorts; 14-08-2019, 22:02.

Still wrong though. Odd that UEFA don't have all the angles. The behind the goal angle it was blatantly obvious it was a dive. No criticism of the ref though. She had a brilliant game and from her view it looked like a pen.
That's what VAR is supposed to fix, but didn't.

I thought the referee put her hand to her ear to signal that VAR was checking it. The replays i saw were inconclusive and the Liverpool keeper seemed unsure in his post match interview. If VAR official felt the same then they can't overturn the original decision unless it's a clear error.
I though the clearest penalty was the one by Christensen early on. His hands away from his body and were not in that silhouette position they talk about.

Adrian was almost as far off his line as Jerzy was when he saved Shevchenko's in 2005. Still, VAR eh?
Not that I'm going to mention it again for a while (because Liverpool were, frankly, shite tonight - have they forgotten the bit about keeping possession in midfield for more than a pass or two?) but this does now mean Liverpool have lifted 46 major trophies to Manchester United's 45.
Back on the perch...

Really impressed with how Lamps has got the team playing some good stuff.
Good to see them put the ball in the back of the net 4 times since Im a little worried about where the goals are coming from this season.
But you're a little optimistic if you're relying on penalty shoot-outs...
