<p>Italian ref continues with his moronic habit to call fouls on offensive players. The foul on Muller was ridiculous. Just as the bunch called on Fellaini in previous games. Then that jump on Higuain! </p>
<p>One bad play by the defense and it’s … losing your man in the box, the other defender not rushing in to help … mental and physical fatigue. </p>
<p>Good game. Enjoyed it immensely. </p>
<p>If you are relatively new to watching soccer, try the Champions League. These are the best teams in the major European leagues going head to head. The soccer can be great. In terms of leagues, the top ranked is the English Premier League. They have huge TV contracts. The Bundesliga is, I believe, 2nd ranked. Many of the top players are in the Spanish La Liga, mostly for Real Madrid and Barcelona.</p>
<p>Boring very dark shirt in hot weather. Boring dark pants in hot weather. Clothing not even coming close to the team uniforms, emblems, etc. Just plain funny looking. But the German soccer uniforms looked great.</p>
