Young Hazard!!!

There's a baby Hazard? Chelsea can sign him, right? :P

Why exactly was that tackle deemed almost worthy of a red card? The Portuguese player did get all ball.

Good shot, but not sure that was really unstoppable. It went in relatively central. I think an absolute elite goal keeps that one out.

nah, it moved a bunch and he took a step that meant he hand no chance.

Also, give me bruno

More by accident, and that's why it was still yellow. He really went in there taking a serious injury into account.

God in heaven, who is this American commentating on the ESPN broadcast?  He is making this exciting game almost unwatchable with his pointless prattle and ignorant views.

I stopped playing soccer after the 6th grade when I could sign up for American football, but that was basically what I was taught to do as a defensive midfield kind of player.

Sure, but you slide in from the side and not from the back. If you need to play the tactical foul in midfield, there are better ways. This was really not about winning the ball, this was just commit the foul to stop the counter.

Yeah, the slight step he took the right was a arguably a mistake. It's not a clear howler (as in must save), but like I said, I think the elite goalies keep that one out. Very challenging shot and very difficult save to make, but not unstoppable.
