Champions League Final

[Galleleo]

I wouldn't say liverpool had more chances in the penalties, firstly Milan has Dida, and no one, not even Dudek knew he would be doing that in over-time, besides that, Shevchenko never missed a penalty before, and normally I would say Milan had more chance going into penalties. ( In a interview before dutch television, dudek said some dude from liverpool came up to him right before the penalties, and told him about grobbelaar then he decided to go and do that)

[NaiLed]

can you come up with a better way of deciding a match?

(i agree penalties are about as fair as flipping a coin though)

[eehh]

bloody liverpool stole the final, after they defended themselves to it. (as greece in the europe championship)

i dont think penaltys should end matches anymore. in the extra time, milan attack, while liverpool defend, knowing they have the best opportunity in a penaltys.
same thing when arsen*l won against manure in the fa-cup. played a shitty match, but still stole the throphy..

[scumbag]

It was a good match but I would have liked to see Milan win only to see scumbag's and many other people's faces the day after.

i still would of been happy, especially after that comback in the 2nd half, they did themsleves, us and Liverpool proud

COME BACK, PLEASE STAY

Yes, of course the Fiver considered concocting some flaky gag about
how nice it was to see a team other than Real Madrid and Barcelona
lift Big Cup for Spain. And of course we could spend three paragraphs
analysing the Steven Gerrard tumble that led to Liverpool's
equaliser. We could also speculate pointlessly about who'd have taken
the fifth penalty and how many kilometres wide Djimi Traore would
have shanked it. But that would make The Fiver look churlish, petty
and spiteful - a mere lady's hairstyle from being the spit of Robbie
Savage. Instead, then, let's talk about what Liverpool's
preposterously entertaining win actually means.

Firstly, it means there's probably a dull thudding sound emanating
from a mansion somewhere in Madrid, where Real substitute Michael
Owen is banging his empty hands on the ground like a man who's heard
his ex-wife won the Lotto the day after he divorced her. Secondly, it
may mean Stevie Me won't leave Anfield any time soon. As useful as a
toilet in the first half, his swashbuckling performance after the
break is reported to have convinced Liverpool to offer him "the most
lucrative contract in the history of the club". Yet all big Red
cheese Rick Parry would say is: "I don't think it's down to money for
Steven, it's about his craving for success. And we've shown our
ambitions go hand in hand."

The big question, of course, is does the most unexpected comeback
since flares mean Liverpool can play in next year's Big Cup?
Officially, Uefa insists they'll not admit a fifth English team,
meaning Everton might get ditched. But word is the fattest of Uefa
felines, Lennart Johannson, stopped eating for long enough to tell
Pool chairman David Moores last night he'd do everything he can to
bend these rules. And Rafa Benitez reckons it would be outrageous if
he fails. "It's unbelievable to even consider that a side who'll play
in the Super Cup as well as the World Club Championship next season
should not be allowed back into Big Cup," he bellowed. "It's my
opinion that the winners should always be allowed to fight again for
the cup." Although some might argue Liverpool should quit while
they're ahead.

i was at the Albert Dock watchin in on the big screen, brilliant atmosphere, but came home smellin of lager and full of it, then i realised i had a psychology exam 8 hours later :grin:

[Pressure Drop]

going throught the BBC site and reading some views they have a summary of what the papers said.

this entry amused me.

'Dudek like Grobbelaar'
Like Grobbelaar, even more so than Grobbelaar. In the final at the Olimpico [in Rome] on 30 May 1984, Roma melted away from the penalty spot hypnotised by the dances of the goalkeeper... Yesterday, inside the Ataturk stadium, Milan collapsed in front of Jerzy Dudek's breakdance.

maybe i'm easily amused

[GuruMeditation]

My wallet is a lot lighter and my face hurts

Be thankful your butt doesn't.

Liverpools defence was leaking like I don't know what in the first half. Then I was just about to realize that the game is over already.

I took up the remote control and JUST before I closed the TV liverpool scores. So I think for myself "ah heck I'll watch it a few more minutes".

Same thing happens again and Liverpool scores a second. Then I couldn't get my eyes off the game

[Pressure Drop]

WOW what a match I got very drunk and that was the a very surreal 6 minutes when l'pool came back form 3-0 to 3-3

didn't expect that from A.C. Milan and Liverpool

i was laughing and saying it was over at 2-0 then at 3-0 i said "any point in them even playing the 2nd half"

I also predicted a boring game .
good thing i don't gamble :fear:


Looks to me as if Jerzy Dudek thought he was Bruce Grobbelaar in the penalties and also seemed to come of his line before saving them which isn't allowed. He completely out psyc'ed the AC Milan players and won them the cup in the end.


I would rather AC won but at least it was a fantastic game to watch.


I also got very drunk and i don't remember going to bed which worries me, just woke up and thought how did i get here ?
