Rusev vs Jack Swagger again? So the payoff to Swagger's Real American gimmick is that he gets to repeatedly job to Rusev

Sasha Banks. Using typical wrestling exaggeration, probably Eve.
Don't come close to any of the non-midget male wrestlers, especially weight-wise.

Take the US Title from him to let him progress to main event/possible world title feuds.

Barcelona take the Clasico with Luis Suarez getting the winner. They're looking good for the title now with a 4 point lead and 10 games to go.

I doubt there will ever be anything funnier than Steven Gerrard's cameo today.

The 619 is one of the last things I would have thought of when it comes to wrestling moves that could end fatally.
Edit: Okay after watching a video of that incident, it looks like it may have been the drop kick or the way he hit the ropes that did the damage rather than the 619.

#6270 here. Post count may not reflect it, but I've been here nearly 6 years.

Stadiums. I especially love concept art of stadiums. Here's where my team plays at AAMI Park also known as Swan Street Stadium or The Bubbledome. I love stadium structures like this with lights on the outside. Allianz Arena in Munich and Birds Nest in Beijing are two of my favourites. Absolutely these two. The Allianz Arena just might be the best stadium in the world.

I'm assuming if the 2 Ukraine teams make it through to the semi's and Zenit do as well that the Ukraine teams will play each other in the semi's and Zenit would play Napoli or Wolfsburg. But then what happens if it is Ukraine v Russia in the final? Yes that's what would happen, which would probably leave UEFA praying that Napoli/Wolfsburg eliminate Zenit to avoid a Ukraine vs Russia final. Making things more interesting is the fact that this year's final is scheduled to be played in Warsaw, Poland.

Seen it before. Wondered what it was. Still have little idea. I guessed it might be an alternative for a generic punctuation, but it's not like that key is very conveniently placed on the keyboard (be it computer or phone); my other guess is that it's just a way of being cute.

That was so incredibly hilarious and incredibly sad at the same time. I don't know what to feel about this.

Champions League Quarter-Finals:
Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Porto vs Bayern Munich Juventus vs Monaco
Having to play Atletico twice this time, I can see Real Madrid going out here. Would like to see PSG and Monaco pull off upsets and get some new teams in the semi-finals instead of the same old. Having said that, though, I would still prefer Bayern to progress over Porto.
Europa League Quarter-Finals:
Sevilla vs Zenit Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk vs Club Brugge Dynamo Kyiv vs Fiorentina Wolfsburg vs Napoli
Interesting draw with matches like Sevilla/Zenit and Wolfsburg/Napoli that looked like potential finals. If Zenit, Dnipro and Dynamo all progress, I wonder if UEFA will pull a Montreal Screwjob on Zenit in their desperation to keep Russians and Ukrainians apart.

If I was Ajax I would be even more pissed off than Wenger is. The Away Goals rule is asinine even in the way it applied to Arsenal but it is even more asinine in Ajax's case because Dnipro had an extra 30 minutes to score an away goal compared to just the usual 90 that Ajax had. Utter bollocks. Same thing with Chelsea and PSG last week. I would argue that the home side gets the advantage of playing an extra 30 minutes (and potentially a shootout) at home. I don't think each advantage offsets the other equally, but can't think of a better solution. I'm still not fully convinced that playing at home is hardly an advantage these days, as brought up by proponents of abolishing the rule. This debate would be a lot more interesting if it involved teams that share a stadium, like Milan vs Inter or Roma vs Lazio.

And Dutch representation in Europe ends with the elimination of Ajax. Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk retain their status as best-named team still left in Europe this season.

Pathos never works on me, and if anything, has the opposite effect. I get really turned off by things like "WHY ARE WE SO RACIST?", "WHY ARE WE SO CRUEL TO ANIMALS?", "GLOBAL WARMING IS GOING TO END THE WORLD BUT NOBODY CARES!"... I understand that when they use "we" they don't really mean everyone, but when it's worded like that I can't help but feel like I'm being called a racist/polluter/whatever, and that doesn't sit well with me. If you want to argue a position that I may not agree on that's fine, but please use logic and facts instead of guilt trips.

To be fair to Wenger (and all 'whining' managers in general), these comments all come from interviews and press conferences. They are asked for their opinion and they give it. I guess Wenger doesn't care if he comes across as a sore loser (indeed he does) since surely he would expect people to call him that with those remarks coming at this time.
Meanwhile, looks like English participation in Europe is over for this season, with Everton being taken apart by Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League. If it's any consolation for Everton, they haven't been the worst performing team today; that honour goes to Roma.

I feel that one difference here is that the criticism is so unnecessary and irrelevant. The manner in which they delivered those lines, too, felt more like "bullying", as opposed to the usual "I'm just being brutally honest" lines we normally see from the typical nasty talent show judges.
