  It's ok. You and Jordi Alba can not watch together.

  What Bayern is doing this year... eviscerating the Bundesliga, surely they are in the CL final, AND Pep Guardiola and Mario Gotze are on the way in two months?
  
  Insanity.

  Can't believe Bayern is getting him too (in addition to Gotze). Talk about powerhouse.

  Another beating handed down by the Bundesliga. I can't believe this shit.

  I'm shocked that both Bayern and Dortmund dominated in the ways they did. All German CL final? Fine by me.

  I'm shocked by Borussia, but not Bayern. They are an extremely classy team(besides their german bitching ways) and Messi was injured.
• Laley23

  

  Not surprised by either, once I realized Messi was nowhere near 100%.
  
  Dortmund beat Real and tied them in the group stage and won that group convincingly...and it was arguably the top group ever.
  
  Dortmund, Real, Man City and Ajax.
  
  I mean, Dortmund hasnt lost in the CL yet this year. 4-0-2 in the group stage versus those teams is amazing. Then havent lost in the knockout rounds.

  Sheik Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan (guy whose private investment group owns Man City) is reportedly close to owning the NYC2 team in MLS: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/29/sports/soccer/abu-dhabi-sheik-is-said-to-be-on-track-to-own-new-soccer-team-in-new-york.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&smid=tw-nytimes&_r=2&#h%5bAscwpS%2c2%5d

  This MLS-20 is all over the place.
  
  I feel that if this rumor is true, it'll be the 20th team. But, Soccer Don said that Atlanta could do with a team in MLS. And, of course, everyone in Orlando thinks they are next.
  
  It's down to those three places, in my opinion.

  I'll be checking in when I get the chance. I'm going with 3-1 Real Madrid ... almost enough to put them through, but not quite.
• gorocks99

  

  Disappointing game in terms of action. Real couldn't do anything once they got close to goal (except for about a 10-minute stretch in the first half).
• gorocks99

  

  And of course as soon as I type that, Real scores.
• gorocks99

  

  What a finish to that game, holy shit
• SportsAndLady

  

  Incredible finish..great game
  
  Dortmund was just better then all of a sudden lost it. Real almost took advantage. Almost.

  Caleb Porter seems to be turning the Portland Timbers into a very good team almost immediately after taking them over as one of the worst teams in the league.

  Several of the Power Rankings Politburo can make pretty good arguments for this team being No. 1 in the rankings. They dismantled Houston at home. They dismantled San Jose at Jeld-Wen. Then they drew the Quakes at Buck Shaw and simply outplayed Sporting in KC. Who does that? The answer is "a really, really good team."

  Got to remember...TFC manager Ryan Nelson used to play for QPR with Park.
  
  TFC is also tops of the allocation list, Portland number 2, Seattle number 3, New England number 4, and Philadelphia number 5.
