>Well, I like a good game of Soccer and the game between Milan and Liverpool was interesting. Not being a fan of either team has its good and bad points. It was entertaining to say the least.

So you actually watched? Good for you.

>Wow! Milan 3, Liverpool 0. Milan dominated the ball. Thoughts that crossed my mind: Liverpool starts with the letter “L” as do the words lethargic, listless, lackluster, and lifeless. Boy, Liverpool is really going to get creamed! How did they get this far?

Despondency and depression set in chez moi!

>What happened to Liverpool? Man, talk about energy and team play! This is unreal! You have to like these guys for what they accomplished. Captain Steven Gerrard, and Jamie Carragher stood out in my mind as outstanding players. They have lots of heart and talent.

Well my jaw's aching from having hit the floor!

Interestingly and encouragingly the only 2 Liverpudlians in the team, and I think the only 2 English players. Back in the day, apart from the odd Molby (who beacame an honorary Scouser), Liverpool comprised all English, Welsh and Scots, and most the English (and, indeed the Welsh) were Scousers or came from within spitting distance of the city.

>I have to admit that I dislike shootouts to determine the winner. In the case of a championship game I cannot see any other solution unless you play till you drop! :)

But what a shoot-out that turned out to be. Do you know the chances of the goalie stopping 3!?

>P.S. I was thinking of you and Alessio during the game. Like I say about the San Francisco Giants Baseball and 49'ers Football (American style), "Wait till next year"! My teams forgot how to win! :)

Poor Allesio - I thought it was going to be me all sheepish today! :-) I don't think he's been on-line since early this a.m.

Cheers
