So your team will make the Europa League finals. Winning the whole thing is your only chance to make the Champions League next year. Do you start (A) the clear No. 1 goalie or (B) the decorated famous back-up who started all Europa League games this season?

(Naturally, "A" is correct but god forbid if you lose...)

Would not surprise me in the least if they started Cech.

I think I just saw the first intentional 5-hole attempt in penalty shots (by Frankfurt against Chelsea) - and, naturally, unsuccessful.

(And Frankfurt loses - Chelsea in the finals)

RB Leipzig and Bayern are on Fox this morning.

Leipzig is super sloppy.

Derby got screwed by the Linesman. Leeds wins.

Time for the Portsmouth playoff versus Sunderland.

Sunderland has really **** away the later half of their season. Not sure they could survive a promotion.

Both teams played not to lose in the first half, though I bet Charlton Athletic wins the playoff, they've been crazy hot the last couple of months.

In the Championship I think Aston Villa is the 3rd team up with Norwich and Sheffield United.

Such a disappointing performance by Pompey. Really lackluster in the second half, especially against 10 men.

Almost made up for that atrocity to start the season.

Saints finished in 18-19 style in dropping 2 points from a winning position.

They finish the season with an EPL high 29 points dropped from a winning position... 29. Ugh.

Is this Mo Salah for Liverpool some sort of royalty?

Yinz ever see this from fivethirtyeight?

It's the global club soccer rankings. It's interesting to scroll down and look once you get into the 100's
