Well, lets get this outta the way. DIDJA SEE WHAT HAPPENED WITH PSG AND BARCA???? It was glorious. After going down 4- 0 in the first leg in Paris it seemed a near impossible task that they could beat a formidable PSG by enough to go through. Or was it? Hell yeah they won 6-1 at the Camp Nou! It was a magnificent game, and one of the best I ever watched. So they went through after pure brilliance by the blaugrana. Who came out of the hopper for them?
The Old Lady, Juventus. They disposed of Porto 2-0, 1-0 and it never looked like much of a contest. Gigi Buffon could very well be the greatest keeper in the history of the game. All reports point to him being a pretty nice guy to so there is that.
I think this is a great match-up, two futbol giants matched together and hopefully the refs let em play. If they do not this could turn in to what everyone hates about continental football, diving and theatrics. If Barca could get their shit together domestically it would please me and all of Catalunya. However, I have been really pleased with who Barca has had to play thus far in the Champions League. It has made for good watching while also losing my mind while screaming at the tv. I have Barca going through in this one as I am a fan. Juve is the MILF of the quarterfinals and I would be ok with her banging her way to the semis.
Borussia Dortmund v Monaco
Dortmund pounded the crap out of Benfica and another Portuguese team bites the dust. Seems about right, they usually die off at this stage. I like that Dortmund made it this far as it gives me an opportunity to show this again.

For all you Americans you have the future of USA footy playing for them (no pressure, see Freddy Adu) Christian Pulisic. He good. I mean he is no Clint Dempsey at Fulham, but he is the future of American futbol.
Monaco advanced from a crazy matchup against Man City, for those who say there is no scoring in futbol, this ended 6-6 and Monaco advanced on away goals. This was the 1st time that Pep Guardiola did not advance to the quarter finals in his managing career. However his first managing gig was Barca, then Bayern, now Man City so he had a bit of cash backing his lineup. I won’t be watching this one live but i will pvr it because I think it will make for very entertaining futbol as both love to score and aren’t the best at the back.
Athletico Madrid v Leicester
I absolutely love that the last English team standing is Foxy Footy, this is fantastic. They are playing so much better since the firing of Claudio Rainieri which completely baffled me at the time. They have gotten out of relegation trouble and just keep on advancing in the Champions league. In this draw things could have gone way worse as their draw Athleti. After all that they have done the last 2 years it wouldn’t surprise me if they got through this round. Last round Athleti got through by pounding on Leverkusen in Germany and have one of the craziest managers in the land. Diego Simeone loves to go batshit crazy. He is a gem.
Foxy Footy beat Sevilla on the away goal rule as they got one in Spain. At the time of watching the 1st leg I had a sneaky suspicion that the garbage time goal that Vardy banged in would count for something. I am excited and really hope they can choke these games out and bang a couple goals in on the counter and move through.
I fully want Foxy footy to keep going, why the hell not?
Real Madrid v Bayern Munchen
This should be the best tie of them all. I am pumped that the not corrupt people at UEFA have it on the different day than Barca. On this day we are all German.
Didja also see who was in the news this past week? Dreamboat had a bronze bust made of him and it is glorious.
I guess I just have a thing for Germans. I really hope Madrid gets embarrassed. I believe that Bayern, Barca, Leicester, Dortmund get through. I think a Leicester v Dortmund semi final would be fantastic. Anyone but Real Madrid is fine by me. Happy watching and GOLAZOS for all.
Atleti will win 3-1 on aggregate and Dortmund will get through. The rest, I dunno. On Saturday Barça looked awful in Málaga and Bayern schooled Dortmund. Real’s no slouch, but fer Gossakes ENOUGH. The only thing sweeter would be for the Spain Patriots to lose a rematch Madrid derby final. El Cholo does deserve that one.

You know who else had a thing for Germans?
Was waiting for that. Today we are all Germans.
Me! One of them was a gymnast.
