It'll be really interesting to see how PSG does given the fact they haven't played a competitive match since March. I do seriously hope they go down in flames!

Me too, but man, they probably got the easiest draw. Atalanta in the quarters and Leipzig/Atletico in the semis.

Leipzig may be a shell of itself by the time the competition resumes. Timo Werner's transfer to Chelsea is a massive blow, obviously, but more losses could be coming. Their best CB Upamecano is a target for several clubs right now, although Leipzig aren't willing to budge on the release clause and it may be too high for all but Chelsea and their endless Russian money. They also have two key players on loans (Schick, from Roma; Angelino from City) that they're trying to get extended, but if the deals fall through it'll be a pretty big loss. They also will have not played for nearly 7 weeks when Aug 13 rolls around thanks to the Bundesliga's earlier start and end.

It's just one match, but PSG do have the Coupe de France final in a couple of weeks. Your point about March definitely stands even with that, though.

Also, I wouldn't want anything to do with Atalanta in cup competition. They might give up four goals, they might score five, they might do both. Absolutely nothing to lose for them.

CBS is taking over from turner sports. Looks like all but three games are behind a paywall.

Typical media. Trying to tell me what I should and shouldn't be outraged at

Good find. I wasn't paying attention.

At least BR Live hasn't been charging since the Covid shutdown, and it looks like CBS All Access is cheaper than that trash was, so I suppose it's a win for me.

With all the changes this year, media rights probably merit having their own separate thread. Between this and Bundesliga switching from Fox to ESPN and NBC switching from Gold to Peacock, a lot of folks are affected by new media deals (I suppose NBC/Peacock isn't a new league deal, but it is a new consumer platform).

And looking back at the thread - that BR Live tweet is very confusing. They seem awfully excited about something they didn't have rights to broadcast anymore since the deal was done in late June. I fully anticipated to be watching on their stream again based on that tweet.

Heads up, you can get a free one month trial to CBS All-Access if you sign up for the annual subscription. They don't really advertise it until you actually select annual subscription, but I just signed up and it said I won't be charged if I cancel before 9/6.

Would be a good way to get free access for these August CL/EL matches.

Speaking of which... Sevilla is absolutely dominating Roma so far in their single-elimination neutral-site match.

I think babies would make better defensive decisions than Real Madrid. What are they doing?!?!

I am no Juventus supporter, and don't care that they are out, but it seems harsh to lose on away goals when you played on the road in front of a full stadium and then your home match was played in front of no one?

The Juve one for handling was bad. The one the Lyon got wasn't for the tackle on the ball. It was a trip right before than on another defender. It was soft but it was there. The commentators are Focused on the tackle.

Look at you paying attention and all.

Someone the Astros thread was complaining that he thought the 86 in mathguy86 referred to me being born in 86. It's my class year; I was born in '64 and that blew his mind. So being mostly through my second Manhattan of the night I agreed to change it. And somehow I didn't pay attention to the cap at the start. And now I'm stuck with it for 6 months.

And now you know the rest of the story.

And then firing saari after winning the league? I suppose the bar gets set pretty high when you win the league for a decade straight.

The VAR booth is drunk
1st Barca goal was a foul
Messi second goal (disallowed) didn't touch hand
PK decision was beyond awful... No way that's a foul on Koulibaly
