for how long?  Golden goal or no?

 

PKs a great way to decide a winner you think?

yes, golden goal. allow 5 subs, allow an extra sub once you get into OT, whatever you need to do to settle it on the pitch. penalties are exciting, but it's a shitty way to decide matches, and i say that as an Arsenal fan who's seen his team win two FA Cup semifinal shootouts.

Who is the hostess today replacing Kate Abdo on the panel?

Fairly easy on the eyes as well.

(Can't see her body, but cute face & hair... which is important when discussing fútbol.)

Jules Breach.  never heard of her before today.  is Kate part of Champions League coverage still?  this was a CBS production.  i thought Kate was tied to Fox Sports now.  but then Kate still does Paramount Plus work on CONCACAF World Cup qualifying.  who knows.  maybe Kate has COVID.

As a Chelsea fan who's seen his team win a Champions League Final on PK's, I agree, and lolarsenal.

I'm not trying to downplay China or Qatar. Both are doing horrible things. But Russia is currently getting hit with sanctions over Ukraine. There is a reason to pull the game out of St. Petersburg.

 

And I think the sanctions give UEFA an out. "Our hands are tied, we have to move the game." And that is that.

Champions League final moved from Saint Petersburg to Paris, UEFA announce

Paris will stage the 2022 Champions League final after UEFA stripped Saint Petersburg of hosting rights for the showpiece fixture following Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.

Russian troops continued their advance on Ukraine on Friday, which has caused widespread condemnation and sanctions from world leaders.

The decision to move the game to the Stade de France, which last hosted the Champions League final in 2006 when Barcelona beat Arsenal to lift the European Cup for the second time, was confirmed during an extraordinary meeting of UEFA's Executive Committee on Friday.

The governing body said in a statement: "The UEFA Executive Committee today held an extraordinary meeting following the grave escalation of the security situation in Europe.

"The UEFA Executive Committee decided to relocate the final of the 2021-22 UEFA Men's Champions League from Saint Petersburg to Stade de France in Saint-Denis. The game will be played as initially scheduled on Saturday, 28 May at 9 p.m. CET [3 p.m. ET].

"UEFA wishes to express its thanks and appreciation to French Republic President Emmanuel Macron for his personal support and commitment to have European club football's most prestigious game moved to France at a time of unparalleled crisis.

"Together with the French government, UEFA will fully support multi-stakeholder efforts to ensure the provision of rescue for football players and their families in Ukraine who face dire human suffering, destruction and displacement.

The Krestovsky Stadium was due to host the final on May 28 after initially being awarded the game in 2021, which was later postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Despite the prospect of Paris Saint-Germain playing in this season's final -- PSG travel to Real Madrid for the second-leg of a round-of-16 tie next month with a 1-0 advantage from the first game at Parc des Princes -- UEFA have selected Paris as host venue due to the French capital's ability to host a potential influx of 100,000 travelling supporters.

*UEFA also announced that Russian and Ukrainian clubs and national teams competing in UEFA competitions will be required to play their home matches at neutral venues until further notice.

*The decision will impact Spartak Moscow, who are scheduled to take part in next month's Europa League round of 16.
