The European football thread

I'm always torn over the use of instant replay in footy but after a game like Madrid vs Bayern you can't help but wonder what if.

I am strongly against offside decisions being ruled by video technology. The fewer stoppages the better. I don't wanna have to sit there and wait to see if I can celebrate or complain. Goal line is different because it's instant. Unless they wanna install some kinda robot lino then leave it as it is.

that's exactly how i feel. just a shame to see such horrendous officiating in such a hugely important game.

2 great games today. still unsure of which i'll watch. probably gonna tune in to the first half of Juve vs Barca and if Barca aren't making a comeback (don't think they will tbh) then i'll switch over to Dortmund vs. Monaco.

either way big hype

Agree, Juventus will go through. More than capable of protecting their three goal lead.

[Ol’ Qwerty Bastard]

capable, sure. but i don't see them doing it against a defence as strong as Juve's though.

we shall see.

Indeed we will.

Mbappe scored again. 20+ goals at 18 is unreal, can't think of many players who have done that in Europe. Owen did but played more games.

Not even Ronaldo, Messi or Cristiano did this.

United or City will buy him for well over 100 mil, calling it now. would love to see him in the Prem but after what happened with Depay and the uncertainty of Martial's future has me really hoping we aren't that daft.

He should stay in Monaco for a year or two imo. Develop there, then look at his options. One or two more seasons like this and he will have his pick of clubs.

He would be silly to leave Monaco though, they aren't skint, are on the cusp of greatness and it's one of the best places to live in Europe.

totally agree but unfortunately it's the state of football atm. that team will get torn apart this summer with bigger clubs swarming in like vultures. Sibide, Lemar, Silva, Fabinho, and Bakayoko will all be amongst potential casualties IMO.
