we know Uisce will be enjoying it

12:45 - Corner seat at the bar at SL Pizza and Pasta.  Be there.

Should be good football although there's no way I can get behind either of these gob*feces*e teams.  A Ronaldo og would suit.   [sm_devil]

I'm taking a corner seat at the bar of Maryland Yards - and like you, am not getting behind either team  [sm_devil]

*fudge*!  I can't believe I'm missing this because I have to work.

I'm surprised you didn't ask for the whole day off.  A fan like yourself would be remiss to work on a day like this.  Its almost like a holiday - you can even drink beer!

 [sm_laughing]   [sm_thumbsup2]

Next time they play.  Count on it.  ;D

i'll be watching it at home, Sal is joining me taking a sick day
 [sm_devil]

*goshdarn* meeting at 1.... suck.

Wish I could find a feed on the intrawebbbers

40 minutes. Will be on here at home.

god i hate tommy smyth nowadays.   talk about senile
 

I hope you have a rum and diet in your hand by this time.

gimme 10 more minutes.  cooking a pizza.
 [sm_devil]

Better than nothing I guess.

When is this *goshdarn* game going to start? Almost as bad as the Superbowl.

not in HD even though they ran 2-3 weeks of run in ads  saying it would be.

pieces of *feces*.
 >:(

there it is, finally.  wow, sure they saved a ton of $  with less bandwidth in that pregame show.

they managed to turn it on right when the kids stand in front of the players.  what's the point of that.

On here. Sorry.

Anybody else think these guys are a bit nervous to start out the game?

example of tommy smyth senility ...  while replay of  rooney cross to teves  is being shown "and clearly he didn't get a touch on it"  as it is seen to deflect off the bottom of his cleats.

tommy smyth calling that carvalho tackle on ronaldo nasty and dirty when he gets the ball 1st?

wtf?


 ???




oh well, after about 20 minutes of timidity shaken off , this match got quite good.

Missed the Chelsea goal but yes it has gotten better.

wow,  man utd. fails on so many chances in the 2nd half.  jeez

looks like we might get shootout....

drogba = tard

bollack = almost as big a tard.

wow,  ronaldo with the biggest choke of his career on center stage yet

fortunately, bailed out by an ever bigger choke by terry

lmao.

man utd. = champions

Please choose whichever.......blah blah

Just returned from the bar after watching the shoot out antics.  I was LMFAO!  Ronaldo with a big choke  :lolspit:, followed by Terry slipping, then I called 'Le Sulk' to miss for the ManU win.  I just knew that guy would choke - poor mental outlook - he fails before even getting to the ball.


Back to the office tomorrow to hear it from my co-worker ManU fan I'm sure  :(

all the shootout hilarity aside, van der sar got both hands on 2 shots (out of 7)  that's insane. 

At least you all didn't have to get up at 4:30am to watch this 8)

quityerbitchin wanker
 ;D

that's a bit rich coming from someone wearing a kimono.... ;)

christiano ronaldo=cry baby=man u=hate.... [sm_disgust]

Their only redeeming quality is Ryan Giggs

Don't have time to read right now so I don't know what's been said but...

I feel compelled to say...

That was the suckiest bunch of suck that ever sucked.  Shameful display by both teams.  English football ftl.

That's why I didn't watch it.

It was hyped up as going to be a relatively ordinary game of football.

The analysts here suggested it was going to suck and sure enough it did!!

Wow.  Surprised to read any positives.  I thought that was horrible football.  Back lines were dreadful.  Both goals were on defensive howlers.  In the first half the ball spent more time in row 6 than it did on the pitch.  Even Ronaldo had no first touch.

Admittedly, missed much of the second half and extra time but followed online.  Sounds like Chelsea made a strong push early in the second half but also didn't sound like the quality went up much.

Then the soap operas started.  ::)

Throw in the poor refereeing for bonus suckage.

Looking forward to the next League Two match for a step up in quality.

The only positives I witnessed were Ronaldo and Terry choking the PKs  ;D

+1   ;)

go hellas  in euro 2008 !  back to back champs !
 [sm_devil]

LMAO.  Earth to Aske...

So this deal was the Super Bowl of soccer?

a man can dream, can't he ?

No way.  Soccer doesn't have ANYTHING as big as the national championship of a sport played in a single country.

+1 back at ya!

I just re-read this today without the blended Canadian whiskey, and I believe you are attempting to mock the World Series, which is baseball.  Not the afore mentioned Super Bowl.  Unless you are arguing they are discriminating NFL which would be akin to ignoring the WNBA.  LOL

[sm_scratch]

As I read it, he's actually mocking the comparison of the Super Bowl, a national championship of a game played in a single country, (as long as you don't count the CFL as the same sport, which I don't) to the [whatever the hell the name of this championship game actually is], which apparently is a very big deal in a sport that is played all over the world, but is still boring as hell, even if you're drunk.

LMAO!  Sorry, look up, and try it again.

My initial question was simply:  Was this match an end of the season championship to crown a title in whatever league they play.

It was the championship game for a multi-league tournament held every few years.  There is no comparison in the US because no one else plays our sports, therefore a multi-league tourney is moot.

Makes more sense on the blended whiskey - I suggest an ample dosage.

>:(

hobbit, hobbit, hobbit...  ::)

In regards to footer, I've never been able to work out who the *fudge* names a team "Real Madrid"?

On the other hand Basil had some issues with a waiter/porter named Manuel

I thought it was a very typical soccer match, goes to show ya' I guess, I don't watch it with the critical eye some of you'se have, NTTAWWT.

I haven't seen anyone mention that the field was absolutely horrendous, it was a grass field placed on top of a synthetic field (leave it to the Russkies  [sm_scratch]). Also the game started at almost 11:00 PM local time, and when the rains hit (sometime around midnight local) the field started to come undone.

I know you're all Ronaldo haters and I understand why, so to see him miss the PK was funny, and it may have been called back if he had made it, showboatin' ass munch. But when JT missed his I actually felt kinda bad, after what he had been through recently with his mother it would have been nice to see him win it for his team. Class act when Scholes or Giggs went up to him first thing after the match and said something nice to him.

When people slam soccer for ending matches PK stylee I always point to games like this, arguably two of the best players in the world miss from what, 13 paces? ( I actually forget) Can anyone say Roberto Baggio, I know that you can. Although if you watched the replays Terry's foot slipped (rain?, *feces*ey field? both? irrelevant!).

Typical soccer match on a crappy field, first ever game played on two fields and on two days. Russians ftl.

Well, there's a king in Madrid.  Not so much here.  Maybe our team should be called Prophetico Salt Lake.

Seamie, the pitch was savaged by the players/press all week prior to the match.  Moscow in May for a C.L. Final?  Some people have crazy in their brain.

Ronaldo's the best player in the world but also the biggest douche in British football.  I was delighted he missed.  Terry is a fantastic player too.  I guess I feel bad for him... nah.  Anyone man who cheats on his wife with schoolgirls is also a douche.

PKs blow.  Golden Goals rule.  I think we had this discussion here once.   ;)

I said that?  Really?  Chit.  I can't even blame blended whiskey  :(
