I thought Pirlo looked "drained" towards the end and really discouraged...as did Sheva...
easy to say now but perhaps a Cafu or Stam would have been better ...

whatever

Sheva didn't look focused at all, I knew he was going to miss.

Thank you, nick... At last a realistic and credible post on this topic

Well Jae...if I should be a ref then maybe you should become a psychic...

Personally I FELT we were going to LOSE in the shoot-out...Dida was totally off his game and has been recently.
THe players were bitter for not keeping the lead AND putting it away in extra time...Serginho's kick was horrible...Pirlo's attempt was WEAK to say the least and Sheva took the worse possible shot: in the middle.

You right here...DIDA performance was the most important factor in this game. He was simple and pure crap. one of his worst games ever.

Does not make it right. Anyways, I want to be clear:

Liverpool did not ROB anything.
Milan was not ROBBED of anything.
Not many teams could come back from a 3-0 deficit like this after 45 minutes...a team full of primadonna's certainly cannot not: i.e. Roma and Inter.
That said....as I stated it takes perserverance (which they had) heart (which they had) a leader (which they really had) and a bit of luck i.e. calls going your way: not flagrant calls but enough to keep the spirit alive.

I still believe Milan played a MUCH better game despite allowing Liverpool to score 3 goals (which again were the only TESTS for Dida; he failed miserably).

By the way,

No one can really criticize Ancelotti's selection for the PK because it worked against Juve i.e the guys who scored or usually score in PK did not that day (Serginho and Pirlo): happens all the time:
Albertini at a time was the PK specialist then he missed for Italy ...
Baggio was a specialist..then we all know what happened...
Costacurta believe it or not had a spotless record for a while and then against Boca he kicked the dirt rather than the ball..

I thought Pirlo looked "drained" towards the end and really discouraged...as did Sheva...

All said and done. I don't actually like Gerrard and Carragher. Both a couple of typical scouse dickheads and if they weren't playing football they would be hassling me on a saturday night on concert square

you serious about Steven?

Ambrosini was injured for the final.

 

[Azzurri7]

What about Inzaghi? I heard he had a problem with Carlo?

Well if Baros was indeed in an offsides position, and obstructed the view of Dida, that is considered interfering with play. If that was the case, the goal should have been called back.

++ [ originally posted by Seven ] ++
It's not about whether he did it intentionally or not. Did he block Dida's view? Yes. Was he in an offside position? Yes.

No goal, Jae .

That's easy to say from a Milan sympathiser's point of view, and if you look at it that way, of course the goal should be disallowed... but on the flipside, imagine if you were a Liverpool fan, and the ref disallowed that goal simply because Baros was 'offside', despite his best efforts not to get in the way of the ball. It would've been a bloody outrage.

I cannot speak of SKY UK .. I can only comment on what I saw..and you know better than most than LIVE is the best way to spot on offside....

I disagree.. but that's probably because I've never been to a match in my life

Still, logic would tell me that a TV replay showing it 5 times from 17 different angles would give a better idea than a once-off view of an incident from the stands (especially when you're wearing Rossonero glasses, not to make any accusations against anyone in particular of course).

Isn't it very difficult to judge an offside call from the stands unless the play happened directly in front of where you're sitting? I'd imagine that parallax error would play a large part in what a stadium audience 'sees'

Pool fans and Liverpool in general has a bad image that really isn't deserved that's for sure. Mostly nice chaps.

Last time I was in Liverpool, someone threw a bear bottle over the wall and it nearly hit me!

What's someone doing with a bear bottle in the first place?

Someone call the RSPCA!

Would somebody please tell me WHY Crespo, who scored 2 goals that afternoon, was substituted for Tomasson ????

Jaecole and Paul.... are you guys going to watch England vs the US tomorrow night?

Should be a good match even though Sven will be playing a pretty much experimental squad. Coach Arena will be using a different array of players as well, so we shall see what happens. But I know some Englishmen don't take too kindly to these "Sven friendlies" though.

I plan to. And on Telemundo of course. American soccer announcers could make Mexican wrestling seem as exciting as checkers.

They don't take kindly to Americans owning ManU either, but tough shite.
