The all-encompassing TV thread.

What's great about this is that, even at 4-0, I reckon Liverpool can still lose.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Ridiculous challenge that.

[Gerontophile]

Madrid get a penalty, and leatherface scores.

[Gerontophile]

From the Guardian Liverpool report.

45 mins: Martin Milec is booked for not really being good enough, and also for tugging Coutinho’s sleeve.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Serge Aurier is an idiot. what was he doing. Did he even make contact with Kroos's feet? either way jumping in so enthusiastically that the other player has to avoid the tackle is also a penalty.

Had England v Japan in the under-17 World Cup last 16 on at work earlier, but wasn't really watching it until a little into the penalties (0-0, no extra-time in this). England won with the keeper, Curtis Anderson of Manchester City, taking and scoring the fourth penalty. Always nice to see.

Not really sure why Dortmund felt the need to recall Jadon Sancho after the group stage. I'm sure he'd benefit more from games in this environment than beating Apoel Nicosia in the UEFA Youth League (as he did tonight, scoring in a 2-0 win). He'd only miss two more weekends (and a midweek cup game at Magdeburg) if England reach the final - it wraps up on the 28th. I suppose he might play in the cup game, but he's unlikely to play more than a few minutes in the league (he's yet to make his debut after all) and I'm sure he's pretty gutted to miss this. Dortmund don't have any players in the Germany squad, which is faintly interesting.

England face the US on Friday, then if they're through that it's Germany or Brazil/Honduras tomorrow week. Spain (who finished second in their group to Brazil) beat Group F winners France 2-1 earlier and have got a considerably easier side of the draw - they face Iran in the quarters (who beat Mexico 2-1 earlier), then have Mali or Ghana/Niger in the semis. Had Germany not screwed up in the groups and finished second after losing 4-0 to Iran you'd have likely seen a Spain-Germany quarter instead. Spain beat England on penalties in the finals of the under-17 Euros this summer, which served as a qualification tournament for the World Cup.

[Gerontophile]

0-5 Liverpool.

[caja-dglh]

Only just realised that Aguero is on the bench.

Current form is allowing Sergio's ribs time to fully heal.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Dortmund losing in Cyprus.

[Gerontophile]

Napoli get one back. From another pen.

[Incandenza]

Do Man City have money on a draw?

[Antepli Ejderha]

Kane then Eriksen both should have scored.

Cenk Tosun does.

[Gerontophile]

0-6.

[Lang Spoon]

Please please please please let us get Maribor, every week.

[Gerontophile]

Alexander-Arnold gets a seventh, on a sabbatical from his regular job as a Big Band leader.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Please please please please let us get Maribor, every week.

This. Not that horrible fluorescent strip though.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Is Serge Aurier the Ivorian James McClean? He's a bit ill advised on social media and if he was any more rash on the pitch, you could eat him for breakfast.

Otherwise that was very impressive by spurs. They kept their shape, and their discipline, and kept trying to do their thing when they got the ball, right up to the end. That requires a large degree of resolve, and At this point it should be abundantly clear to even people as stupid as Robbie Savage, that any problems spurs have aren't down to some unspecified mental softness inherent to all spurs players since the beginning of time, but rather that they don't quite yet have the squad to pull off what they are trying to do, in every single game.

I shudder to think of what kind of shitefest that would have been if it had been Man utd rolling into town last night.

[elguapo4]

Man utd have been shocking all night, need a horrible mistake from Benfica 18 year old keeper to take the lead

[Gerontophile]

Arsenal have a couple of youngsters in their side, and are holding on a bit.

[Gerontophile]

Arsenal scored, after (I think, not sure, listening to 'Chart Music') a Red Star guy got sent off.

[Gerontophile]

"One nil, to the Arsenal".

[evilC]

That's correct. But the Arsenal goal - though immensely overdue - was fantastic. Worth watching the highlights for.

Dear lord, Everton are poor. It's like watching Chester.

[Gangster Octopus]

Fekir off!
