soundian Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 "Champions And Highly Placed Rich Teams Cup"? They can't change it to that, Man Utd qualified and they're no longer rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntedbyafreak Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 What a game... So gutted at half time then went mental at the end! I've never experienced anything like it at all... Still waiting to talk to my dad. He was there!!!!!My mate says that one of the things he will remember most is observing me sit in total silence for about half an hour before the game. So bloody nervous... Apparently they were on "suicide watch" at half-time. Gits.Anyone else notice that Liverpool always do the best finals? This seasons Carling Cup aside (we were rubbish), there's the Owen FA Cup, Uefa Cup and now this!Had a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Hopefully not getting too expensive tastes...And did anyone see this banner? "WELL DONE AGENT GLAZER. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Am I alone in thinking that a team which has not won its domestic league since 1990 winning the CHAMPIONS League devalues the competition significantly?Its nothing but a distorted money making exercise to ensure that rich clubs stay rich and poor clubs cannot break into the upper echelons as in the past.I mean well done Liverpool, I was genuinely gobsmacked, but its about time someone looked at exactly what the purpose of this competition is meant to be.

The Ghost Of Fudge Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 well done liverpool. but i think they should all hop in a plane, fly back to istanbul, book dudek, and let milan take two of those penalties again, the cheating bastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonty84 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Best footie match I've ever seen by a fucking mile! Supported Liverpool since I was 7 and its about time we won the European Cup again, the 6 minute spell where we scored 3 goals gave me a bigger high than any drug ever, incredible stuff. Was so pleased to see AC Milan look gutted, Kaka, Shevchenko, Maldini, Rui Costa and Dida are all such arrogant (but amazing) players and they were all mouthing off before the game about how they had so much more than Liverpool, they might well have done, but not on the night! Plus Steven Gerrard showed the world why he's one of the best players in the game.Now Uefa need to stop talking shite and let the Champions defend their title!COME ON THE REDS!Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxton's Superb Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 TNS, the Welsh champions have offered to play Liverpool in a tie, probably at the Millenium stadium..with the winner getting the place in next seasons competition qualifiers...cant see UEFA allowing that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 If anything I suppose this game keeps the old cliche alive that it really is a game of two halves. Milan were absolutely superb in the first half and really outclassed liverpool, made them look out of their depth. The third goal was fantastic. I like everyone else thought it was over at half time, but Liverpool quickly turned the tables, the milan players clearly didn't get setlled quickly after any of the goals and liverpool just kept on the pressure. One thing I must say though is that it was never a penalty, but that doesn't matter now. The game seemed destined for penalties once it reached 3-3 and i always thought Milan's only chance was to stop it from getting there and Shevchenko had the perfect chance but dudek was unbelievable. Liverpool coming from behind were always going to be in the better frame of mind for the penalties, and italians don't exactly have a good record at penalties. Dida was way off his line, but so are most keepers when it comes to penalties, referees will really need to clamp down sooner or later to stop it. As for the champions league argument, Liverpool don't really have a right of complaint as the rules have been their from the beggining and if the rules were to be changed it should be for next season not affecting this one. You can't forget that Liverpool wont be the first team to lose out with this rule. Five teams from one country in the competition would be a lot, whether i'd like it back to only the champions, i'm not sure. I used to be heavily in favour of it, but the excitement of the competition makes me think it is maybe ok as it is. Then again if it were only champions then the uefa cup would really be something of value again and hey we could maybe even take back the cup winners cup.

If it was all about who the best technical side was, why bother playing any matches? A piece of paper and a pencil would sort that out. Football is a team game and requires the right mindset to play at the highest level. The way Milan seemed to collapse mentally under adversity maybe shows that, while having better technical skills, they may need to brush up on the psychological aspects of professional sport. The better players lost but the better team won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
