But but you didnt watch the game

Its crazy how much better Son and Ericksen are without Harry Kancer.

Go from competing tittle without him, to possibly losing 4th in his return to winning against the best team in europe without him again.

:lmao

Someone needs to meme harry kancer SNAP

[resistanze]

Spurs SUPER fortunate....maybe it's their year.

Aguero missing a penalty (rare), Son looking a bit offside but VAR no problem with it :lol

[Canyonero]

Imagine Tottenham winning the CL before Arsenal lmao

[spursistan]

The Bayern 2014-16 side he inherited from Heynckes was easily better than this current City squad and yet he failed to reach a single CL Final with them..

When it comes to winning the big one, dude is product of Messi..

[apalisoc_9]

Its pretty clear that Tottenham plays with much more creativity with son having more freedom.

With kane out there his space is limited and worse Alli, Ericksen passes become much more predictable.

Diverse strikers like son offer much more room for everyone else.

They need to get rid of kane next year and find a son on the other side of the field. They'd be deadly offensively.

I don't have an issue with Kane as a player, but it's true that Son has more freedom without him..he's one of the most underrated scorers in the world, there aren't many that can score from either side and on either foot as well as he does..

Nah. This is a better city team imo.

I mean dude in general is a product of big bucks. Bayern, City, Barca..teams hes coached have all been on paper the 1/2 best teams in the world :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Bernardo Silva is so underrated, they don't look anywhere as smooth without him, even with a stacked roster..

[apalisoc_9]

I don't have an issue with Kane as a player, but it's true that Son has more freedom without him..he's one of the most underrated scorers in the world, there aren't many that can score from either side and on either foot as well as he does..

I dont think its limited to son. It's difficult to have a long term successful gameplan in 2019 with a more typical Forward. Kane is a great player, but he's a guy that would flourish in the R9, Batistuta era. Sure, he's a good hold up player but a no.9 as your maim focal point in the offense limits overall creativity.

Heck R9 was a master runner, second striker.

The way teams are setup in the modern era and the more prominent pressing philosophy opens ridiculous amount of space if your team is filled with Winger/Strikers.

A player like kane can still be great in the modern era, but they need to be utilized the same way as Aguero, Suarez, Benzema etc. Where scoring goals for them is of equal priority to creating space for others.

Thats the biggest problem with Kane. He doesnt want to be like that. If he plays like that, guys like Ericksen would have so much more passing options etc.

In short, he's given way too much privilage in the pitch. Far beyond that of his actual ability.

[apalisoc_9]

If tottenham wins..

No one else is even close to Baracs level. If they lose this CL with only Liverpool, Tottenham, Juv..

I dont know what to say. All these teams are clearly a tier below.

[resistanze]

To be fair, that penalty to Aguero was such a weak call..

Agree the handball rule have always been a little BS, but the call was consistent with what they've been calling all year in CL (Kimpembe vs united, Otamendi vs Schalke) and probably he least egregious tbh :lol

[pgardn]

Harry Kancer.

You are an idiot.

City was dominating after Kane was injured, Son screwed his first touch, the goalie came out, Son made a wonderful reversal and deftly banged the ball at a goalie too close to react properly.

Conclusion:
This of course was because Kane was injured.
Spurs then got a charge to see the last part of the game out.

No you did not notice how Kane played, but he must be clogging the options because of the way spurs or dominating the ball and not getting any shots right ? That’s three well played soccer for good long periods of time. Liverpool, CP, and stretches of the 1st half against MC with a run against play by Son..

So you watched part of one game, and the expert on KL also has no clue about soccer.
This is what you have prove to the board.

This is absolutely wrong.
Ericksen and Son both got great passes from Kane. Spurs best moments against MC came wth all on. Sons goal was a mistake turned into a goal. It happens. It was against the run of play MC was close to choking them off from possession.

[pgardn]

Huge credit to Lloris for the radar.
He knew where the ball was going before Aguero struck the ball.

And really, Who is betting on MC to lose at home against spurs?
Let’s be real here. Madrid looks so good NOW because they dug Themselves out after games like this.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ball wasn't even going towards goal on Suarez' header. Midget didn't get the assist. It was a giftPERIOD

Suarez was heading towards Coutinho who absolutely would've scored it if Luke Shaw didn't touch it. It unarguably would've resulted in a goal. The entire United backline was focused on Messi who chipped all of them towards Suarez.

Not a good game from Messi, but without him that goal doesn't happen, period. If Luke Shaw isn't there, Coutinho taps it in.

[quentin_compson]

Ajax continuing to just entertain the football world. It would be great if they got past Juve, but I doubt it.
Barca were okay considering the terrible performances they mostly had away from home in the knock-out stages lately. Busquets is slowly but surely becoming a liability in games like these where he has to face quick and athletic opponents. Hopefully De Jong will replace him sooner rather than later in the starting 11 in the near future.
Pobga is still mostly a luxury player, it seems. Him going to Real would actually make sense as long as he is not required to be one of the top 3 players there. I mean come on, McTominay had more impact on this game than Pogba did …
Pep shaking up the starting 11 as he often does before important games. His track record in doing so doesn't seem too great to me, but I could be wrong. Well, it's not his fault that Aguero misses a penalty, of course. But City were really disappointing in the second half, and that does reflect on Pep somewhat, too.
Liverpool played a very decent game and are probably happy it ended 2-0 rather than 4-2.

It seems that Serie A isn't quite as good as other leagues. Juve lost their first game in the league few days ago, next is eliminated from Champions too. They hit a bump in form at wrong time.

Well it's not easy to win the Champions, all teams are good there. Cristiano obviously has it, but the rest of the team may have talent, no question about, but they still lack a piece or two in the puzzle.

Wtf i closed the stream cause i thought it was game over :lmao

Pochettino is one lucky motherfucker. He made some awful decisions after sissoko went down and they still won :lmao

[apalisoc_9]

Wow :lmao

[resistanze]

Son suspended for first leg. City is going to be kicking themselves for years tbh

[DAF86]

What a game and the VAR was correct in all terms.

No, it wasn't on Llorente's goal. He clearly touched the ball with his arm and the new rule is that you can't do that on a goal, regardless of intention.

I agree. VAR is the fucking worst. I've said it from the beggining tbh

[DAF86]

Technology ruining sport drama

Drama was there despite the disallowed goal, tbh. In fact, I would argue that technology increased the drama, because, first, we had the shock of the goal being scored and celebrated and then we got the twist of it being disallowed.

[DAF86]

I agree. VAR is the fucking worst. I've said it from the beggining tbh

VAR is good. Stupid fucks just need to start using it better. I still can't believe how much they fuck up even with the help of technology.

[spursistan]

Bitching about VAR :lol..

Yeah let's just roll with shitty calls in the most popular sport on earth..:lol

[DAF86]

Ajax should be favoured over Tottenham, tbh.

[resistanze]

No, it wasn't on Llorente's goal. He clearly touched the ball with his arm and the new rule is that you can't do that on a goal, regardless of intention.

Is it though? It skimmed off his arm (that was tucked in) THEN onto his hip, which scored the goal. I get it if it was hand-to-goal directly.

[spursistan]

Pepe Guardiola is a fuckin' fraud. He never done shit at the later stages of CL without Messi/Iniesta/Xavi holding his hands..

That's the truth and his fanboys need to deal with it..

[spursistan]

Yeah, Tottenham were nothing special..Ajax should like their chances..

I think Liverpool-Barca is the real Final..Messi and co. are better off facing them over two legs..

[apalisoc_9]

Son suspended for first leg. City is going to be kicking themselves for years tbh

What? I thought it resets?

Losing your best player is awful news.

If sissoko injury is major Ajax is going to toy with that midfiled.

[apalisoc_9]

Yeah, Tottenham were nothing special..Ajax should like their chances..

I think Liverpool-Barca is the real Final..Messi and co. are better off facing them over two legs..

Sissoko might be out for both leg. Spurs midfield was horrendous today. They just lucky they habe sonaldo and Lllorante header.

If they cant get sissoko back, its practiclly game over for tottenham

[resistanze]

What? I thought it resets?

If he didn't pick up another card, it would've reset. But he did in this game, so he's missing the first leg.

[DAF86]

Is it though? It skimmed off his arm (that was tucked in) THEN onto his hip, which scored the goal. I get it if it was hand-to-goal directly.

You can't score directly nor assist with your hand, no matter of intention. Basically, whenever a hand helps you to score a goal, whether it is directly scored with the hand or not, it shouldn't count. That's the rule.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ajax are going to the final

[140]

VAR is good. Stupid fucks just need to start using it better. I still can't believe how much they fuck up even with the help of technology.
Nah. Stop trying to make sports "perfect". They shouldn't be. It's not maths. There always will be human mistakes. This is just a worse way of having them.

[resistanze]

Then it's pretty dumb they missed it cuz the replay clearly showed it hit his arm.

EDIT: It's a pretty dumb rule if that's how it's written because Llorente didn't attain any advantage by a ball skimming his forearm tucked into his body, imo

[spursistan]

Poch said Kane may be back for the final

Wow. Thats some privilege.

Not only are they playing him at less than 100%. Hell be playing a game in the final of the biggest stage when he hasnt played in months and will probably disrupt the offense.

This nigga isnt that much better jamie vardy.

Son given freedom by........ LaPorte? wait, he is on Manchester City?

You are such a dumbfck...

What an absolutely awful way to get into the Semis.
Gifted two goals by LaPorte. Thank you Sonny for being in the right place...
And a Llorente... what was that?

Tottenham's D was so awful. The offense was given goals and was bad.

Its good to win but what an awful outlook for the next game we have against them for the EPL.
I fear we dont make the top 4.
Good lord that was absolutely horrid.

They say Kane is the best goal scorer Tottenham has ever had.

But this alone does not tell the whole story.
Dont give us numbers when you only watch limited games.
Out of all of the sports, soccer numbers probably tells one least about what actually occurred in a game.
You should know this.
But you dont.

This new rule will be working from the new season on.

Lorente gained no advantage so i would call it a goal every day. Not sure what i think about that rule.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Son himself didn't know he will be suspended until being told in a postgame interview...

Very stupid that it only takes 3 yellow cards over ten matches to miss a semi final match :td

Nah, even with the occasional fuck ups, VAR has greatly reduced mistakes and injustice, and it will only get better with time as they polish their use.

[lefty]

VAR is great tbh - looong overdue - but great

Plus I like to listen to the crowd’s reaction when the ref is signaling he’ll do a video review :lol yesterday’s game was fun

[resistanze]

This new rule will be working from the new season on.

Lorente gained no advantage so i would call it a goal every day. Not sure what i think about that rule.

Actually, I'm reading that Llorente's situation doesn't fall under the scenarios of the 'New Rule' (which apparently is in effect next season).


Sure. He's jumping, his arm is by his side, it's not outstretched... yeah, it's accidental. But I thought IFAB had determined that accidental handballs that lead to a goal would be punished with a free kick...

They did, albeit with certain caveats. In fact, one of the law changes (https://www.the-ra.org/news/ifab-law-changes-2019-2020) says that it's a free kick if "a player gains control/possession of the ball after it touches their hand/arm and then scores or creates a goal-scoring opportunity." Another one says it's a free kick if "the ball goes into the goal after touching an attacking player's hand/arm."

Llorente's situation was between the two scenarios. The ball touched his arm, but then it hit his hip as well before going into the goal. And you can't really say he gained control of the ball after the touch with the arm, but he did benefit from it as it then hit his hip. The thing to remember is that what you just read is irrelevant here; these rules will apply from next season.

From what I read there it definitely falls under the scenarios of the new rule, tbh.

I also don't understand why FIFA makes changes for next season. If you think something is fairer with this new way, just apply it without waiting.

[DAF86]

Imho, Llorente's goal shouldn't have count. If the ball didn't hit his arm first you never know where the ball would have hit him and how it would have bounced.

[resistanze]

Eh, I think we should be pragmatic. That wouldn't have been handball in any other part of the field so why raise to an (imo) unreasonable standard just because a goal is involved? Unless we're gonna cut off their arms, Llorente's arm was pretty much as close to one's body I can imagine.

This is really good!

Funny deal when Jewish Tottenham fans were getting thrown out of White Hart Lane for referring to themselves as Yids.
Other interesting trivia is Ajax and Tottenham have an understanding of brotherhood for beating up Feyenoord fans.
Eriksen, Vertoghen, and Sanchez all played at Ajax.

I thought that the Ball does hit his body/hip whatever, even without touching it with the arm. Still, i think this goal should count as he did nothing to gain an advantage.
