yeah, pk was 75% ok but... situation like this. i don't know. that red was joke, i mean straight red for Buffon to whom it was first red card ever in CL and this was his last CL match... Anyway, Ronaldos pk was about as perfect as it can be and Zzhneemnxzz... that ex Arse goalie didn't have a chance.

I do not like the penalty call in that situation. It is a soft foul at best. I am not a penalty is a penalty guy. In my opinion, situations can and should dictate how a game is called. This is why Buffon went nuts. You simply do not call a soft penalty in that situation, especially when you do not have the best view. You let the game play itself out. Referee's should not be deciding games, especially ones of this magnitude. I also have doubts that it would have been called if the game were the other way around. No coincidence that it was an English ref as I have been harping on how bad the Premier league officiating has been all year long.
Onward. Find it hard to believe Real will play Bayern in the semifinals since that is now the final they want so expect to see them on opposite sides of the "draw" tomorrow.

I completely 100% agree with everything you said. And there is ZERO chance Juve gets the pk with a call like that late in the game if the ball were on the other side of the field.
One German and one Austrian team both going today in Europa. Who do you like, Bason?
I don?t have any plays yet, but my leans are:
Atletico un 2.25 and 1 for the 1H
Salzburg/Lazio ov3
and a small, if not biased, lean to Marseille as I?d like to see them through, although I have little confidence in them.

I do not like anything that much today but I lean to:
Lazio+.5, I kind of liked the over but did not like the overnight line movement
Marseile, I see a 2-1 game here
Tough to bet the other two, if I had to bet them I would probably bet both draws and hope one hits.

Disagree, Bason. Like you, I play soccer (four times a week and love it--at an age where most are . . . golfing!) and even though it's mostly pick-up-call-your-own-fouls, we'd call that one. That kind of contact in the box affects the play too much to be ignored. Obviously, some teams will get that call more often than others.
I get it JNG. Lots of people disagree with me on this one. I just don't like to see games decided this way. I feel the same about every sport.

130 EST: La Liga
Sevilla pk - even @ Deportivo
Gone now is the distraction of CL for Sevilla, which IMO was a factor in their dipping La Liga form over the last weeks. I'm banking on them having their heads on tight today. ML is very tempting, but I'm staying away in case recent form continues one more game. DLC is also a motivated team, a win gets them out of relegation for now, but lets face it, they narrowly escaped going down last year. Now flirting with Liga 2 this year. No less important is a win for Sevilla puts them back in Europa.
Not much to say about Sunday's MLS play. Atlanta was the better team, but made too many mistakes letting NYFC draw. Penalty, silly offside disallowing a goal, and of course the final goal by NYFC was preventable.
