Für die größte Überraschung des Achtelfinals sorgte der tschechische Traditionsklub Sparta Prag. Nach dem 2:2 im Hinspiel gegen Rekord-Europa-League-Sieger FC Sevilla setzte sich Sparta im Rückspiel mit 4:3 nach Verlängerung durch. Dabei kassierten die Gastgeber in der 98. Minute schon den vermeintlich vorentscheidenden Gegentreffer zum 2:3. Doch Mick van Buren (102. Minute) und ein Eigentor des Ex-Wolfsburgers Simon Kjær (119.) entschieden die Partie noch zu Gunsten des Außenseiters.
Simon Kjær is a dude who I had pegged for superstardom a decade ago and he never quite got there. Felt bad for him today.

Being a Hammers fan must be absolutely maddening.

Maddening, yet once in a while it all makes sense.

Well except the Penguins who actually win things.
I call them Redskins in shorts.

I personally became a fan because of a 2001 match where they beat Man U 0-1 in the FA Cup in 2001, watched in a pub in Malahide, Ireland that was split evenly between Man U ssupporters and haters (rooting for West Ham because Man U). Gawd I was wasted.
Was in Ireland for a work project we knew was doomed and had a blast.
They played like crap as usual but got lucky.

We all wanted to get into the Premier League so we all picked a team to bet on to have some skin in the game while we were in Vegas for a bachelor party. I didn't wanna pick a front runner and they finished 7th the year before so they seemed okay to me. I liked Andy Carroll.
My buddy bet on Leicester at 1,000 to one. Eff him

Nice job by Barthez to spend that long begging for the offside call while DiCanio breaks in on him.

That was quite the “oh no we suck again” ass whoopin for Dortmund.
All you had to do was nothing, and you couldn't even do that...

Eyebrows were raised, but PSG play 60+ games or whatever in a season, and a lot of them against garbage teams that you don't have to field a lineup of superstars for. ECM is fine against the likes of Amiens or Caen.
That said ... yoi.

This match is **** stupid. Two defensively inept FBs who fancy themselves wingers in a back four against a desperate Man City? DUMB.
