Third place playoff looks interesting, surprisingly goals expected going by the prices.

I was very much looking forward to our weekly update from our very own in-house reporter Dex on all the latest news, scandal at the House of Paedo

Female referee and assistant officiating third place playoff. Not sure if that's a positive or negative for women, given that it's the least important match of the tournament.

What a cock-up from the Urawa defence! Just as well it's only third place playoff.

Why did I watch Chelsea and not this ??

Atletico were lucky to come away with any points at all. Very entertaining.

Can't imagine how much mansplaining they've had to put up with.

There's been a serious degradation of respect towards officials in general, it's crazy how much abuse they can get even when they perform perfectly well. Technology was supposed to help them by now, but it has only done the opposite!

You only need to breath on an opponent in the penalty area and the flipping suspend monkey presses the button!

At least they're not likely to get punched by a club official.

What a start! City score in 40 seconds.

Complete waste of time watching TNT4, it's like watching a replay!

The solution is simple but football doesn't want it. When do you see a Rugby Union ref being treated the way they do in football. They do it because they know they can get away with it and think it will affect the ref's decisions going forward in the game!

If they encircle the ref and give him scorn all the ref has to say is "anyone but the captain who is within 10 feet of me in 10 seconds will be booked". And if they don't retreat book them and if the still don't retreat, second booking. It will take 1 week for the message to get across.

It's a funny old game

Meanwhile, in Netherlands... Hercules, son of Jupiter, has knocked out Ajax, son of King Telamon.

Hercules are a 4th tier amateur team!

"The housemates of amateur player Tim Pieters all bet €15 on him to score and for Hercules to knock Ajax out of the cup. They won €11.265 each, amounting to a total of over €150.000."

What an incredible story for all these random students

Can't believe Villa blew the chance to go top last night.

I don't know if it's by design, but Juventus are wearing shirts that look as though they've been washed 2000 times and are fading!
