At the risk of being Capt. Obvious, cable provider & Vue streaming have been my point of entry. fwiw, the $35 middle tier of vue is a real bargain (NBCsports + beIN), imo. Especially with Liverpool playing as they are :D. Good luck.

if i saw it for $35, i'd agree but they're quoting me at $45 for the middle tier. at least i could play it off of my firestick, that's cool.

Yeah - I'll be interested to see who's in the squad today, as they have Man City to look forward to on Sunday.

Wouldn't say it's a must win. I would consider a draw a good result (considering who is missing). Arsenal last year (and others, historically) have shown that you can lose your first 2 and still get out of the group stage. Obviously a win would be great but a draw would be a good result, all things considered.

I'm more looking forward to Sunday vs Man City. Should be a heck of a game.

Go to Russia missing 5 key players and come back w/ a win. I'll take it.

And, for those who are counting, that's 5 goals in 5 games for Son. Good thing Poch didn't let him leave this summer.

Pretty big UCL match today: Atletico v. Bayern. Last season, Atletico advanced over Bayern because they had a road goal. Don't think Bayern needs extra motivation, but there it is. 1:45 can't come soon enough.

Lynden Gooch and Cameron Carter-Vickers may get called up to the USMNT for the next set of games (friendlies vs. Cuba & NZ).

Lynden Gooch and Cameron Carter-Vickers may get called up to the USMNT for the next set of games (friendlies vs. Cuba & NZ).

ICYMI, CCV signed an extension with Spurs this week that will keep him with the club through 2019.

Spurs boss Pochettino, who prefers to keep talented youth players around the senior squad rather than sending them on loan, said earlier this month that Carter-Vickers "will be one of the best centre-backs in England in the future."

Total domination by Spurs. They were the best team by a mile today.

Man City missing De Bruyne didn't help, but it wouldn't have mattered today.

Klinsmann did call Gooch in for the friendlies.



Spurs were missing more of their 1st team than City were. Kane, Dembele (who most Spurs fans would say is their most important player) and Dier (on bench but not fit enough to start).

Welcome, Bob Bradley. Another door US denizens have stepped through. Good coach, tough gig though. Have to assume that Swansea's new owners will ramp up the player budget.
