I'm convinced Lawro is just trolling us with his commentary.

"the thing about these Japanese fans is that they are very quiet until the ball gets near the penalty area"

Argentina's Tigre accused police of pulling guns on their players and refused to emerge from the dressing room for the second half of the Copa Sudamericana final, leaving Sao Paulo to be declared winners of the tournament.

Tigre, losing 2-0 at the time, said police pointed guns at their players following a brawl as they left the field at halftime in the second leg of the final at Sao Paulo's Morumbi stadium. The first leg in Argentina had ended goalless.
"They pulled two guns on us, the rest of the match is not going to be played," Tigre coach Nestor Gorosito told Fox Sports.
"They ambushed us and one of them pulled out a revolver and put it against (goalkeeper) Damian Albin's chest. Their security and police also hit us, there were around 20 of them."
After Tigre failed to re-emerge for the second half, Sao Paulo were declared winners and handed the trophy.

Tensions rose even before kick-off after officials tried to stop Tigre from warming up on the pitch, though players managed to dodge them by leaping over advertising hoardings.
Sao Paulo had dominated the first half with Lucas, playing his final match before joining Paris St Germain, at the heart of everything. He scored the opener in the 23rd minute, pouncing on the ball to fire home after Willian Jose's progress towards goal had been blocked.
Lucas turned provider for the second, playing a fine ball for Osvaldo to run through and lift the ball over Damian Albil, but Lucas had also been on the receiving end of several tough challenges, with one elbow to the face drawing blood.
Fighting then erupted as the players left the pitch at half-time.

Tigre also said their bus was pelted with stones on the way to the stadium and Gorosito complained about the treatment his team had received
"We trained two hours away from our hotel, and it took us more than an hour to get to the stadium. We were unable to warm up on the pitch," he said.
Referee Osses said: "We did not see anything, but we have heard some things about what happened. We saw there were some injuries to the Tigre players but I don't know what caused them."
CONMEBOL official Romer Osuna said: "The referee abandoned the game because it was not right to play on. This decision is final. It is a shame that a continental final finished in this fashion."
The first leg finished goalless in Argentina.
The Copa Sudamericana is the region's equivalent of the Europa League.

Luiz is looking pretty damn good in midfield.

He is but let's not go nuts. He's playing a very poor side. You simply don't get this kind of time on the ball in the PL or CL.

He's always had the technical ability, it will be interesting to see if Benitez gives him a go there after this tournament.

oh definitely, but with Romeu out and Lamps still recovering, I think we'll see some rotation between Luiz and Ramires in that position.

I assume so, but that doesn't take away the shame from the fact that the final of an international tournament had to be cancelled because of violence.

EDIT: LOL MONTERREY LOLOLOL

There is just no contest. Even a tired Chelsea are stronger, sharper and superior in every way.

Nice goal, but was expecting more from Monterrey.

They've had a shit season all around since they actually won the CONCACAF championship, which was back in April. Add to that the obvious difference in player quality and you have a recipe for disaster.

The sad part is that Monterrey made the Korean team look like a bunch of amateurs on Sunday.

I don't think this is his current natural speed. He looks leggy and tired.

lol there's a d-bag in the crowd with a medical mask with "RAFA OUT" written on it.
