Football Suspended in Greece, Barcelona Beat City, Juventus Edge Dortmund, Cannavaro Sentenced to 10 Months in Prison, Arsenal vs. Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen vs Atlético Madrid, Marina Hyde on Qatar

Stay classy, Feyenoord...

Hey Hey Hey! Hump Day! The two matches yesterday were quite good. Barcelona's total football was a joy to behold, Messi missed a penalty (twice), and Juventus showed some mettle in Turin. Here's all the loot from all of that:

Manchester City 1 - 2 Barcelona: Phil McNulty at the Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 1 - 2 Barcelona: Barney Ronay at the Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 1 - 2 Barcelona: Three Quick Thoughts
Manchester City 1 - 2 Barcelona: Five Talking Points
Juventus 2 - 1 Borussia Dortmund: Report
Juventus 2 - 1 Borussia Dortmund: Three Quick Thoughts

Dude. Don't swim in your pool if the cops tell you not to. Former Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro and his wife did just that, and he's been sentenced to 10 months in the slammer! Yikes!


Looks like SI has something called, "Under The Crest." Grant Wahl is trying to figure out Chelsea's identity. Hmmm. Looks like a stupid piece to try to garner more U.S. interest. You decide.

Oh, Qatar 2022. What a shit show you've become, and you're still years away. The always astute Marina Hyde is the latest to provide some perspective on the insanity.

Two more matches today, peeps. Look to London and Leverkusen for the ties. Here's all your preview information:

Arsenal vs. Monaco: Preview
Arsenal vs. Monaco: Preview II
Bayer Leverkusen vs Atlético Madrid: Preview
Bayer Leverkusen vs Atlético Madrid: Preview II

And finally...they can't even play anymore in Greece. Yes, it's come to that...

Onward!!
