Europa League Final - Sevilla v Benfica

[Mystic]

Where else would it be dug into ? I'm curious.

Well, instead of the level with the ground, the pitch and stands are dug into the ground, below ground level.

You can't dig into the ground above ground level, Mystic.

WTF was that "tail" on Mbia? A piece of tape?

Yeh, I was trying to emphasis that the stadium was dug into the ground, not just the foundations!

Penalties

That did look rather weird, I think it was medical bandage from an earlier injury.

 

[Mystic]

Raktikic has been absolutely fantastic today.

 

[FerrisBueller]

How much for rakitic? He'd be perfect for us.

 

[Hansern]

Echo saying we want Moreno. That will change after this performance

 

[rurikbird]

Yep. Rakitic – boss. Andre Gomes – promising. Rodrigo – promising, but seems overpriced. Alberto Moreno – probably the weakest player on the pitch.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Around about the same for Lallana, maybe slightly higher, he has been brilliant tonight, no doubt.

 

[rurikbird]

GK was WAY off his line. How come that counted?

 

[Markeh]

Sevilla keeper was miles out there!

 

[dmishra]

I did say the other day (based purely on Youtube) that Moreno looked extremely ordinary.

Andre Gomes is a handy player, and would fit well as well - but I think we can do better. Rakitic is good, but he's 26 and in his prime and not exactly out-of-the-world.

 

[cloggypop]

Cardozo deserved it for the shit run up

 

[Glen C]

Both of sevilla penalties have been excellent. And benfica have just missed another penalty. So weak.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

He done it again there, not by as much but still quite blatent.

 

[Markeh]

Cardoza deserved it for the shit run up

stuttering or slow ass run ups seem to result in failure for Benfica

 

[rurikbird]

It's looking like 0 for 8 for Benfica now

 

[Mors]

Benfica been taking penalty lessons off the England team?!

 

[Markeh]

great penalty from Luisao

 

[Markeh]

for a center half

 

[Glen C]

GK was WAY off his line. How come that counted?

Ask dudek ;-).

THE CURSE LIVES ON

 

[737Max]

the curse strikes again

 

[rurikbird]

Really amazing story for Sevilla. There were not even supposed to be in the competition, they placed 9th in Primera, but 2 teams above them were both disqualified by money troubles. Beat their arch-rivals Betis on penalties after losing first game 0:2 at home. Then the amazing last-second escape vs Valencia. Real fairy tale win.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Screw Jorge Jesus anyway, must be really shite for those Benfica fans though, we know that sort of feeling this season.

 

[Mystic]

Mbia was brilliant as well, good player.

 

[Mystic]

I'd too in the wasn't impressed by Monero camp. He reminded me of Flannagan, and well, we already have Flannagan.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Penny for our scouts thoughts? (presuming they were at the game)
