Zoë Sumra Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Aaand we have penalty kicks in the CL final! (I'd love to know what Drogba was thinking, or more accurately, wasn't thinking with that slap on Vidic...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtigo Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I preferred Man U, but I'll always hate the penalty kick shootout as a decider. Why oh why FIFA? Surely theres another way? Interesting to see what happens with Ronaldo, Ferguson, and Queiros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon AS Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Almost fell asleep there towards the end of the second half. How lucky was Chelsea's goal? And how stupid was Didier Drogba? And how badly taken was Ronaldo's penalty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoë Sumra Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Anelka's penalty was horrendous. I haven't yet turned off 6-0-6 *ducks missiles* and the current caller just said he thought Anelka looked like he couldn't be bothered when he was stepping up to take it. I had the exact same impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the game, after the game. I was just waiting for Clarke to say "Aha! That's a verbal contract! You can't go back on that!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horus Ex Machina Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Ugghh... I don't know how John Terry is gonna sleep tonight. He'll have to be kept on suicide watch. :cry: I really feel let down now, so I think I'll just go to sleep for awhile. This really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Wow, I kind of want to throw up. Very tense game, and I feel absolutely awful for Terry. Screw Anelka, though, he looked reluctant as hell before taking that. Cannot believe Ronaldo went for that. Also, I didn't think Chelsea's goal was that lucky, because they had a bunch of players forward. I thought it was a bad job by Malouda to stick it in there that way, and the bounce bailed him out, but if he'd played it correctly, it would've been a good chance or a goal anyway. Dumb fucking move by Drogba, I couldn't even tell what started that whole stupid spat. Ugh. Congratulations to Man U, you were a good team for the whole year (and played Chelsea even over the course of the game); cannot really say they were undeserving. Sickeningly thin difference between victory and defeat there, though. ETA: Ack, Essien hit that ball, not Malouda. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the very definition of a lucky goal.

It was a lucky goal, what I meant to say was that it wasn't a flukey one; Chelsea earned the opportunity by having players forward with speed, and fortune kinda bore them out. I must say that Tevez did not really have his finest showing, IMO, but then, neither did Ballack for Chelsea (or Malouda, but the less said about him, the better).
