[Football] Europa League final: Sevilla v Roma

[Eeyore]

This business of taking your runners up metal off after you've received it, it seems a little bit silly. I'm not sure where it all started.

This is fast becoming the year of the penalty shoot out.

Jose. How sad

Having only watched a bit of that game which mostly involved players flinging themselves to the the ground and rolling around or just sitting down it occurred to me that Villa will take to European football like a duck to water.

 

[Washie]

wow... VAR call during pens... ruined it really... may have got tense

I disagree, I hate it when keepers are off their lines for penalties. Glad it happened

 

[Questions]

I think of it as the Inter Cities Fairs cup.

And did that help trading relations between different European cities ?
Still makes me smile

 

[veuve]

I actually felt sorry for the ref.

I watched a fair bit of it last night and it was ok until a Sevilla player went down like he had been clotheslined and rolled around for ages....Roma players thought they would start too so it was an escalating ( descending maybe ?) game of trying to get the other teams players booked or sent off.

The ref was pretty good though and booked a Roma player for an awful attempt to win a pen in the box.

The playoffs and now this have been pretty miserable, grinding affairs so far, let's hope the FA Cup is a bit better but, can see the same thing happening again if there is no early goal.

United will be set up to spoil and not to lose and will just stay in the game and hope to nick a goal and hang on. Could be a turgid affair.

Watched 5 minutes, got bored . . . Saw it went to ET and turned it off!

Reading this thread is giving me goosebumps remembering going to Hamburg to see Fulham in the Europa League final in 2010. Effing Diego Forlan and unknowns David De Gea and Agüero did us. Amazing atmosphere during the day and evening and an incredible journey to get there over the preceding months. Hope you're they're next year this time.

I’ll never forget your comeback win over Juve at Craven Cottage. Special.

Crikey, just looked it up, 13 years ago.

I remember most of us in Italy were pretty disappointed when the England players did it at the Euros, I find it disrespectful to the competition as a whole. Last night I went to bed after the last penalty so I didn't see the trophy ceremony and them taking their medals off, Roma confirming they're twats once again.

Well if you face England again, how about you finish second and show us how to be respectful

Players need to be educated. The sheep mentality of 1st loser etc is disgraceful. 1 does it, they all do it. Morinho is a poisonous dwarf in football, classless

It's the Unai way and explains how/why Sevilla have been so successful.

What an absolute **** that bloke is. Would be interesting to get him to discuss it with a Bronze medal Olympian.
