LI-VER-POOOL... LI-VER-POOOOLLLLLL...!!!
Well I did warn you all that I made this blog also to address my obsession with football.
Today, while I was out helping "Stan" get the container on the truck, Liverpool played against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League Final in Istanbul. AC Milan was 3-0 up by the half and all seemed lost. While I was outside taking the picture below of the container, Liverpool scored 3 goals in 6 minutes! Unheard of in football, especially against such a great team as AC Milan. It ended up going to penalties and their so-so keeper, at least in the regular league season, Dudek saved the first two and then went on to beat the European player of the year, Andriy Shevchenko, securing the cup! Even odder was the save that really won the game in the 115th min, when he save two point blank shots.
This is a team that was slightly better than mediocre in the Premiership, the main league domestically, finishing 5th. Odd thing is, in England, only the top 4 teams get to go to the Champions League (the best of the best in Europe), and this means that Liverpool will not get a chance to defend their title next year. WOW.
As ESPN said this is a most "improbable" win. When they came back onto the pitch after the half they were a different team. The famous 80's player Steve Nicol put it best "you never know what will happen." Liverpool fans are alight and deservedly so, Anfield is screaming with joy as the glory returns to the once great club.
In the words of their theme song states...
