lol well done, let the Anti-football comments begin. Also there was this bit of genius on goal.com "In all honesty, it was a super penalty from Messi, hit hard and high, but just lacked that crucial touch of accuracy."
Great game Blues! I can finally say I have found my club. Ive been following Chelsea all year and that game took me on a ride.... Call me bandwagon or whatever, but I started loving soccer after the US run at the World Cup, became a die hard fan, and started loving Chelsea during this run! Let's take the cup Blues!!!!!!!!
I'm surprised big soccer isn't down. EXCELLENT GAME!!! BTW I give Obi a great game, apart from 1 stupid giveaway I thought he tracked incredibly today. Yes I'm biased! Lampard was excellent passing and he probably defended Messi better than any midfielder (really knicked the ball from him time and again) Meireles made a few silly giveaway's but the lad is a terrier MOTM Ramires - just excellent player. We will dearly miss him in the final. Honorary mention - Drogba/Cech - both veterans both very well for the team. Led the team well. Mata, played intelligently tracked back well but ran out of gas. Kalou came on and gave some pace and strength defensively and somewhat in attack A.Cole was brilliant -turned back the clock. He was his snarling self and put his body everywhere Ivan - even though I think he's a better RB, he acquitted himself very well in the center, through himself at everything and one plenty of headers Bos - did very well. Very smart to stick him in a more central area Torres - started poorly but made up for it with a great goal. I'm going to get drunk today. Sick day tomorrow?
Anti-football comments are stupid because they don't make any sense. However I don't like to see a team keep 10 players behind the ball, I would rather they work hard at trying to get back and maintain possession. You won though, and that's what matters.
Congratulations on making the final, it was well-deserved. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a couple of these:
wow, that revenge must taste sweet. Great job, lucky and well deserved all at once. what a heros effort. best game of the year.
im loving the reaction from everyone, from chelsea fans and others one of the best games i've ever seen. f**k the Final, THAT was a game worthy of being a final!
For a moment i thought about quoting all the 'game over' dreck posted by good hearted people after Barfa's 2nd goal...but instead i'll just say WOOHOO!
