Chelsea 3 - 2 Liverpool

i feel like an online score reader lol.

but i can't help not talking bout the match. i stayed up just to watch it, an slept at around 5.30 in the morning. and woke up at 5 in the evening lol. i is rocks.

the match was awesome lah. the extra time part was the most thrilling part as 3 goals came from just a short period of 30 minutes. it was intense match yesterday between Chelsea and Liverpool. 5 goals were scored - 2 in the duration of 90 minutes, and another 3 from extra time. here's something i picked up from times online:



5 Amazing semi-final moments (Tom Dart):

John Arne Riise scores a late own goal
Many dream of scoring in front of the Kop, though those fantasies do not go quite like this. The defender’s second own goal of the season in the 95th minute of the first leg changes the tie and is a moment of pure comedy horror, when “whack it into row Z” somehow becomes “head it into the top corner”.


Michael Essien's goal is disallowed
Chelsea are celebrating and even the scoreline on television has changed to 2-1 in the second half, but the officials have other ideas, eventually. The assistant referee has his flag raised and Drogba is penalised for blocking Reina’s view while standing in an offside position in front of the Liverpool goalkeeper.

Frank Lampard scores emotional penalty

His mother has passed away six days earlier, Ballack has scored the winner from the penalty spot in the league four days before, yet Lampard takes the ball from the German, who has been brought down by Hyypia (what is it with Liverpool’s Scandinavian defenders?) and coolly slots the ball home.

tribute to pat

Fernando Torres is taken off
With 31 goals this season and Liverpool needing to score as the clock ticks down, you might think that Benítez will replace his star striker only in the event of a truly dire injury, such as decapitation by a runaway combine harvester. Yet it is Torres, right, the Spain forward, not a defender, who is replaced.

Petr Cech is beaten by Ryan Babel
Soon after exhorting his team-mates to show more focus, the normally faultless goalkeeper fails to stop the Liverpool substitute’s firm but speculative long-range shot, caressing it into his net and causing an orgy of mass nail-biting among Chelsea fans who have just started to party.

-end-

well. it was something for Chelsea's manager Avram Grant also:

He must've prayed hard

anyways. the only thing i wasn't happy about in the whole match was Petr Cech letting in the goal from Ryan Babel. so much for being on guard. rawr.

and now,
moscow awaits =D

anyways, not much update on life. its routine and boring.

oh. engrish pic of the day:
i swear its true.




p/s : see vid? i didn't complain about SAM.

pp/s : SAM sucks!! (couldn't contain it. sorry lol.)
