Europa League Final

Might be just me but it seemed De Gea wasn’t that interested. He made quite a few mistakes during the game with his passing and just didn’t seem up for it in the shootout and his reactions at the end summed it up to me.

Given his penalty record it might be fair to say he’s just bad at them.
If he’s Spain’s number 1 at the euros I wouldn’t bothered about taking Spain to penalty’s.
 
Poor by United tonight. Could not killed them off in 90 mins. 4 years with out winning anything. Ole job on line surely next season.

I'm not saying it wasn't a foul but I don't trust that VAR would have given it because it's set up in such a rigid and arbitrary way.

It's pretty clear that it was a penalty, it as stonewall and yes the minimum would be the ref asked to look at it. I'm not saying that VAR is perfect or that the implementation of its use is perfect, it isn't.....but it is still far far fairer than life without it.

Sorry but what evidence is there that VAR makes things fairer? Every single week there is another controversy where VAR is shown to be maddeningly inconsistent.
But worse than that it sucks every last ounce of joy and passion from the game, it's like having a sexual encounter with a supermodel and taking a pencil, clipboard and tape measure with you just to make sure everything is precisely as it should be. You try to make something clinically perfect and you will eventually ruin it.
 
One bloke who came out of this with credit is Cavani. What a player and example to any professional footballer👏.

He's the wrong side of 30 and no doubt a multi miliionare. Yet his work ethic and attitude is stunning. You'd think graft is a 'giver' as a professional footballer but we know it's not.

He at one point ran passed his own fullback to make a block on the edge of his own 18 yard box. I've also never been so sure of anyone scoring a pen as when he stepped up for the 5th. Just didn't look remotely worried.

I’ve said similar earlier in the thread- any aspiring forward should watch and learn. Total class act. Tracking back and challenges made was second to none - he was showing players ten years plus his junior how it’s done. It’s not that he was tracking back but he was making good challenges. Put the likes of Rashford to shame. To still have that desire with all the money he has in the bank is the sign of someone who just lives to play football.
 
Rashford has been poor for a while now.

Same with Sterling.

I'm never confident of them scoring when the opportunity presents itself.

Hope neither of them are anywhere near the starting lineup for England.

Pleased for the Villarreal fans, it means so much more to them too. I hope some of the ones we met in 2004 were there to see it.

Fully agree👏

I always go with the underdog sticking it to a so called big side. I was made up Leicester won the FA Cup (although gutted they blew 4th).

I've no sway whatsoever in the champions league final. I would prefer City just so it shuts the scousers up for saying peps a fraud etc.
