glorious double
May 21st, 2008 Stephen Lau
spent lunchtime @ kate’s today shouting and screaming at the TV rooting for my team. i can’t believe yet another CL final went to PK’s, and it was a real nail biter all the way to the end.
the game was fantastic… scholesy’s little backheel to wes brown for a fantastic cross to ronaldo’s headed goal was an absolutely sublime move, and rooney’s huge huge cross to ronaldo was fantastic. it definitely wasn’t a boring match, thankfully - though the pitch looked shitty (leading to van der sar’s slip up on lampard’s goal, and terry’s botched PK).
so that wraps up an awesome season for manu - a glorious double. what to do now that manu’s season is over? hrm. the USA has some intriguing finals coming up against England, Argentina, & Spain. those should be great, and i guess i can get back to following our local Earthquakes & MLS.

Gotta love glory hunters…
The CL is a money-grabbing farce these days anyway, it’s stupid that more than one team from the same country can be it. It’s supposed to be the competition of Champions, not “champions, runners-up, and maybe the one after that as well”. Bring back the old format with no group stages, I say.

Exactly - it’s a competition of Champions, and it just so happened this year that the two best teams in the tournament were from the same country. If you tossed Chelsea or ManU out of the finals because you don’t want to have two teams from the same country play, then you’re not seeing the best of Europe.
