I was on pins and needles through overtime and the shootout. Who would have thought Terry and Ronaldo would both miss penalties? Terry gets off, though, because his header to deny Ryan Giggs was the only reason it even went to a shootout in the first place. For a 1-1 match, there were an awful lot of good scoring chances: Lampard hitting the bar, Drogba ringing one off the post, Tevez's diving header and Carrick's follow-up shot straight at Cech. A pretty darn good afternoon of football in my books.Andrew Bucholtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156615450275929751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-7037303206833441662008-05-21T13:01:00.000-04:002008-05-21T13:01:00.000-04:00'the team that shall never be named' vs Cheski - s...'the team that shall never be named' vs Cheski - should be a dandy if there is an early goal. if not, just watch everybody clam up hoping not to make the first mistake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
