Given that the fixtures are at 3am here I won't be witnessing our first UCL game in ages. Hopefully we can make a deep run in our first year back.

Went with the Real Madrid winning with their new hero Bellingham, but I don't really care as long as everyone has fun.

Thailand would be 2am (moving there permanently in a couple weeks), so it must be Phils, Indonesia, Malaysia, Perth, China, Singapore. I'm wondering if Bangkok has bars open mid-week showing big matches at 2am. I'm probably changing my sleep schedule to 4-11am so I can still watch Euro footy.

Doing a Thailand/Vietnam/Indonesia tour.

Great countries. I am also driving in Bali which if I survive will mean I'm untouchable and forever looked out for by the Gods.

Vietnam otoh they sometimes just close the bar at half-time.

Ha Noi traffic is the craziest of all. I wasn't man enough to drive there. Scooters everywhere.

Ridiculous handball given for PSG, seems like they're stuck in the old interpretation of the rules

Huge game for the #1 seed so they may get bounced in quarters instead of last 16 this year

My understanding is uefa distinctly interperets handballs differently than the PL. So there's once that will get given in the ucl that won't be given in the pl.

Arsenal 2-0 up after 25 minutes but could be 4 or 5 already.

3-0 Arsenal.

Gotta appreciate PSV for trying to play real football but this high line is suicide.

2+ - Manchester United have conceded 2+ goals in five consecutive matches for the first time since May-August 2001. Messy.
