Robben was much slower in this match it seemed to me. The last contest I saw him running circles around defenders. Not today.

Robben's always been one of my favorites...his declination is sad.

His receding abilities are catching up to his hairline..

As a player he still has so much skill I believe he needs to understand he is somewhat on the decline and adjust his game accordingly. Unfortunately I don't think he'll ever be able to spread the ball around. I like him as a player but just not on my favorite club. It doesn't help that he isn't particularly well liked in the locker room either

He had many opportunites to pass last night and shot instead. He is a ball hog, like Gomez and not a good one. He has played well in spurts this year, but his best days are behind him.
tdiddy hinted he may be gone with Gomez and they will look for another player in the middle, flanked by Shack on one side.

Ive been hoping that bayern get in on Jan Draxler. Young and mega talented. Going to be another midfielder for Germany

That's a good call...Draxler has a lot of quality. Big kid too.

So the USMNT is playing a friendly against Belgium in Cleveland in May. I'd really like to go see that game.

Nice. Belgium is a nice young team. I was in Belgium for the 1-0 US loss in Brussels in 2011, but the Rode Duivels have come a long long way since then. Cleveland seems like an odd location to me, no?

I guess they're trying to mix it up location wise. Belgium is one of the teams that should be really interesting to follow going forward and should be a real test for the US.
Too bad the PSU bball game is on now, I'd like to ending to Inter-Tottenham.

He clanks PKs when he wants too. Every time he takes a step forward...two back.

How is Ashley Cole doing this year?
If winning was easy even losers would do it.

Bayern vs Juventus is a heavyweight bout.
Regarding Real Madrid, I was just hoping to not draw Bayern. Gala or Malaga were the best case scenarios, so I'm perfectly OK with this.

Reminder that there is no bracket this yr. A separate semifinal draw will occur after QFs. Ill take Dortmund, Real, Barca, and ? on Bayern/Juve. Gut says Juve at this point. To me, those are the 5 best teams in Europe so I hope they comprise the semis.

A couple nice revenge matchups to watch: Ibra vs Barca and Sneijder (and Altintop to a lesser extent) against Real Madrid. Do not underestimate the hate that Ibra has for that entire club including Messi. Sneijder isn't really hate, but he sure whined and cried sour grapes after he left Madrid. I'm more confident that Ibra will back up his talk. Sneijder never could when he was in Madrid the last time. I'm very interested to see what response he gets from the Bernabeu.

Crap. I was hoping Juve would get a better draw. They could have used an easy matchup so that Chielini could come back next round. Dortmund is getting all the breaks this year.

Can't say Dortmund doesn't deserve a few breaks after finishing first in the group of death.

Huge result for Everton today and pretty much clinching United's championship. City fans can complain about the Fellaini handball, but its all fair considering Mirallas' non-goal. Despite the goal not mattering, hopefully the second goal will give Jelavic some confidence as Everton battles for 5th moving forward.

Great performance...result was well deserved. If United don't stumble today, the title race is well over. But, the race for 2-6 will be very interesting over the final 10 rounds.

Everton is really going to struggle with suspensions with Stoke in two weeks, but if Mirallas and Coleman keep playing well they can still get 3 points.
I'm really looking forward to Swansea-Arsenal at the top of the hour. Big game for both teams.
