Magnificent game between Bournemouth and Luton. Luton were up 3-0 at the half, but it's looking like they're going to lose 4-3. Unfortunate for them. A great spectacle, though.

Was at the gym today and TV was showing Wolves vs Coventry City game... Wolves thought they won it 2-1 at 88min just to be outdone in last 3 minutes by two quick goals. Crazy ending and well done for Coventry City, always nice to see underdogs progress deep into Cup competitions.

Worst performance of the season for Spurs, an absolute disgrace. Following up one of the best last weekend.

Spurs have been shite but Fulham have impressed me, they're very well organised and I felt that the signs were there for this kind of scoreline prior to the game. They shut Brighton down in the same way a couple of weeks ago, who play a similar kind of football to Spurs. They've been first to every loose ball, winning 50/50s, highly efficient with space, etc.

Great win but man how terrible is Rashford all game? Yes he scored in overtime but every freaking decision of his is been awful until that time.

Magic of the cup is still alive, that was an amazing game

United draw Coventry, City vs. Chelsea in the other semi.

That was a tough one. Ran out of legs and got punished.

Yeah, you guys were done by the end. Too much going on (4 comps) and you didn't kill the game off in the second half.

And man, Rashy should have ended it at the end of 90. It's amazing what happens for Antony when he actually hits the net. Sometimes the ball goes in. Wild, wild stuff. And Amad with two stupid yellows.

Need Chelsea to win, so United will have a chance.

Great match today

Rashford was offside on that final chance he missed at the end of the initial 90 minutes, wouldn't have counted even if he scored.

As for Amad, it was daft but I don't blame him for getting caught up in the moment. He scored the winning goal against the club's most bitter rivals in a quarter-final, in the most dramatic fashion. He's just a kid and this is the first impact he's really had at United, he just wanted to celebrate with the fans and probably forgot about his first yellow in the moment.

Thought Antony and Garnacho were really solid, the latter especially.

Totally hear ya Baph, the circumstances were completely bananas.
But to be honest I just don't get ripping your jersey off as a celebration. Especially since it's an automatic yellow for the last decade or so. Now to be fair the first yellow was bs cuz the kick was 10 yards ahead of where it should have been and was in the wrong half. But why do soccer dudes and Brandi Chastain rip off their jersey's? Makes no sense to me.

Sounds like it was an entertaining match but I don't believe it was broadcast in the US. Maybe it was on a Spanish-language channel.

I can watch some previous PL matches but no FA Cup matches, even on demand.

Without being in the situation myself and experiencing those kinds of emotional highs in an elite sporting contest, I can't really say for sure why they do it. I feel like the adrenaline in those moments probably make it almost an instinctive reaction. Or something like that. I honestly don't know.

I always check out livesoccertv.com for my listings. Think they do it for all countries.

You'd think someone would televise it in that huge market of the US.

Looked it up, it's ESPN+.

MetalFingaz · Post #798 » by **MetalFingaz** » Mon Mar 18, 2024 11:08 pm

Yeah if you have Hulu/ESPN+ you can watch FA Cup, EFL Cup, La Liga, Bundesliga, Eredivisie, Championship, some EFL League 1 and League 2, and Belgian Pro League matches in the US. Definitely worth it if you want to watch a lot of football.

It was broadcasted on TSN here in Canada, was a treat to watch on big screen instead of streaming on PC.

Sportsnet IIRC :P
But the point remains :)
I'm also a moron that pays for both DAZN and Fubo, which is nice I can use the apps on my TV
