I'll be driving so I'll miss it.


Maybe both teams will get four red cards each and it'll be ended early with neither winning.


I can dream, right?

Don't be surprised if Ronaldo disappears this game. He has a habit of doing that in big games.

not to mention picking up transvestite hookers.

Different Ronaldo. I didn't specify because we were talking about ManU, but I was talking about Christiano Ronaldo, not Brazilian one name Ronaldo.

I didn't think the other Ronaldo played for either of those teams but I just wanted to legitimatly bring up transvestite hookers.

We're going to PK's...

WOW, so the turf played a big role in this game. The rain made the field more slippery then normal. MAN U had a nice run near the end of Reg but the player did a nice slide through everything. Sort of funny to watch the expression in slo mo. Also, Chelseys' keeper slipped for Man U's first goal. Then Cherry totally wiped out on his PK and that folks was the ball game. I must admit I was pulling for Chelsey!

I would have been sick for ronaldo if the game ended like that for him...I dont feel so bad for Terry b/c if it wasnt for his header save then it never would have gone to PK's anyways

the turf was just laid down and it hadnt rooted in yet, so it was like playing on towels put on a gym floor.

The little fight that broke out towards the end of the second period of extra time was pretty bizarre. It definitely wasnt as good of a game as I was expecting, but glad ManU still came out on top.(granted i dont live in Manchester, but I follow them pretty regularly still)

I would've laughed, a ton. I still did laugh that he got his PK blocked...by the keeper's face.

He had a goal though. I'm impressed with that. Completely surprised too.

Isnt he considered to be one of the top maybe 10 players in the world?

The majority of soccer fans will tell you he's the best in the world.

He is. The majority of people who try to tell you he isnt have this elitest mindset. Sure you can argue about who the best player in the world right now is, but he definitely is one of the top ten.

thats what I was thinking, thats why I was unsure why SJ said he was surprised...either way he's a ton of fun to watch...he's so quick with the ball "relieving the pressure" off of his teammates as the announcers said time after time
