UEFA Champions League 18/19

Tottenham shouldn't even have advanced IMO....but I had to pick 1 legit upset, so there you go lol.


I'd say that's a toss up EPL is still better the Budesliga and Dortmund lost to Dusseldorf today. Could definitely go either way IMO.

Would love Ajax to beat Real would still be a huge upset despite Real's struggles just on relative strength of the leagues etc. Their probably going to lose half the team after the season so this is Ajax's shot to make a Cinderella run.

Even with Madrid's recent struggles Ajax winning would be a huge upset.

Not saying Tottenham is better than Dortmund but I think Kane will be a tough matchup. I can see him getting 2-3 goals against them.
 
I think Son will be the one to score 2 or 3 vs Dortmund
 
Idk where else to put this. A friend was in a Judaica store in Barcelona yesterday and found these. Jewish Messi pooping? I don’t get it. Is it a Spanish thing? It’s a cute tchatchka, but I’m missing the joke.

It's a Christmas tradition to have Jewish figurines taking a shit on your mantle?

Spain just needs to let Catalonia go; there is no integrating that.

Okay, I actually went to the Wikipedia page on Caganer. Essential reading. Especially for the section on other fecal related Christmas traditions in Catalonia.

Need to ask my Mallorcan au pair about them. Could be adding to the household holiday traditions next Christmas.

My wifes family is from Valencia (Villareal)... Its not big there... Only among those that have strong roots closer to main catolonia (north east of Spain) ... Or among supporters of independent Catalonia
