Tyler Adams scores the game winner and is rewarded with a seat on the bench next game.

Well, my Lyon team fell after a surprising run to the semis; but, not all is lost with Bayern dropping PSG 1-0 in the finals. I wonder how many players will leave Lyon this year for a bigger team as they did not qualify for the the UCL or Europa (came in 7th) in 2020-21 (if there is a UCL) in a very unusual free agent market.

My 3rd team, Club Brugge did qualify, group stage by winning the Belgium First Division in 2019-20.

Well that wraps up the 19-20 season. Pretty strange season. Next weekend starts off the 20-21 season with the Community Shield. Arsenal-Liverpool. Not sure who Liverpool will have, but I doubt that many starters will be playing for Arsenal. I think most of them have been on holiday the past couple weeks.

With such a short break, I see a lot of teams resting their key players for the first month or so. It will be interesting to say the least. Any bet on if fans will be back in staiums in force before the end of the 2020/21 season?

I think Neymar was the big loser yesterday. He's a futbol Iverson. Tremendous talent, not a winner.

Klopp just said, "We have three or four more days to prepare for the Community Shield, so we should make sure that we have there a really strong line-up on the pitch." They appear healthy save a knock to TAA.

Arsenal are playing a Friendly today, MK Dons (League 1). Played a few starters 1st half, 2nd half they are down to U23's, a couple I've never heard of.

I love how soccer has such a quick turn around right now. The more games I get to watch the better.

Same here. When I cut the cord, the only thing I lost that I missed was BeIN Sports. But just in time for the new season, here comes Fanatiz. It has BeIN along with a bunch of Spanish and S. American soccer for $7.99 a month so I'm in, just in time for the big Emelec game tonight. If you put it on Amex and opt in to the Fanatiz promotion you get $5 off/mo for the first 3 months.
