banger free kick, that

Saka just did the impossible. Won a free kick off this ref.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you don't fucking save those

You literally can't, unless you're a 10' tall stickbug or you cheat too far to the left

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I had an inkling that Merino would start ahead of Trossard, but this is still hilarious

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Here. We. Fucking. Go.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can't watch it because I'm at work and need to concentrate. But my mate just let me know about the next two goals!! Holy fucking shit! This is amazing!!!

THREE NIL TO THE ARSENAL!!!

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.funami.tech 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm actually surprised Camavinga got punished. Maybe because the match was beyond salvaging.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It was an incredibly stupid yellow to get

DIRECT FREE KICK GANG LET'S GO

DEEEEEEEECLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Sorry to hear that, mate. We're here for ya.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

AND WE GET TIERNEY? THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

not actually but

Imagine we get a whipped in cross deflecting off of Merino's head from Tierney. The scenes.

[–] Aesecakes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

We already knew this ref was a Madridista, but this is ridiculous man. Twice in 10 seconds, right in front of you!

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Someone's gonna score one today. Not sure if it's us, though.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Alright lads, you reckon if we get 5-0 we can play the kids in Madrid?

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

one club mentality, we're gonna lose the next leg 2-0 and still go through to the semi lol

Benny Blanco off to see off Los Blancos

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What a fucking goal!!!

And all the gooners at the stadium have turned our place into a proper fortress. The noise level is unreal.

When Saka came on the other day, I heard that they measured the stadium at 103 dB. At that level you can potentially risk hearing loss after 4 minutes of exposure (iirc). Might be even louder today.

MLS: tries to get up but can't because Bellingham wants an autograph
Bellingham: HE TRIED TO KILL ME

Jover before kickoff: "Alright boys, gather round. I've been keeping a secret from you for a while and it doesn't feel right to let it go on any longer. ... Free kicks are also set pieces."

Camavinga betting with Carlo how many tackles he can get away with unpunished

Cool beans. "Arsenal can't afford to let Mbappe have a chance". Fam, he was offside. By definition we didn't let him do anything.

Also wow, I've never seen our opponent get a yellow after we get "advantage"

[–] nuggsy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We'll make a striker of him yet xD
