congratz to man utd fans! better luck next time chelsea!

hargreaves has now won the champions league with 2 different teams at the age of 27!

chelsea was the better team but the point of the game has absolutely nothing to do with outplaying your opponent, but rather to make the ball cross your opponents goal line more than it happens to yours through any means. however, outplaying your opponent sometimes helps. congrats to man u.

i always knew... but i have just accepted the harsh reality recently.

I think Drogba's slap hurt his hand more than it hurt Vida's face. The man has a concrete head. At least Vidic did not do the weak in the knees shot in the face routine - and he was absolutely off his top and would have literally pummelled Drogba into a pulp had it not been for 3-4 players holding him back.

He comes from Serbia
He'll ****in murder ya

[sullakh]

no head cracking? did you even watch the game, at least 6 players were bleeding from their nose and head.

Head: Nani, A. Cole

Nose: Scholes, Hargreaves
etc...

Chelsea was playing brutaly but then again Tevez was returning the favour. This is probably the only reason why I was happy United one, because they were the better team.

i meant the fans....ala PP handling sepahan fans ...

that final was exactly like milan-juve, only with juve winning in penalties back then.

chelsea was just like milan the better team

No this final was more intense and more entertaining one than the cure for insomnia of a final back in 2003. Both teams were equal, gave their all, were unlucky for not scoring more goals and burying the game much earlier...but football is also a test of nerves and not just fancy plays.

and luck and POSTS AND CROSS BARS

^^and lucky deflections

[Suprah]

^^and lucky deflections

^^ and goal line clearances and missed chances in front of goal

[yashar_fasihnia]

-clearances off the line are attributed to good performance of the opponents defender - terry deserves to be applauded for positioning himself so well and reacting so fast to that ball and giggs deserves to be castrated for missing such an opportunity. this is no luck, this is a direct result of players of the 2 teams!

-"lucky" deflections are poor clearances, positioning, covering by ur defenders and ur GK not being able to make a better exit/dive/save. - if ur defenders cant mark lampard or arent as quick and smart to mark him to clear a deflection and leave him hanging around loose near ur penalty area, its not luck - its lampards brilliance and instinct to be able to convert from manchester uniteds defense mistakes. that "lucky" deflection as u call it was a deflection for both teams, but how come lampard was able to grab it but not any of man utds defenders or GK??? AGAIN, NO LUCK INVOLVED! INFACT, LAMPARD SCORED WILE GIGGS DIDNT - THIS IS NOT LUCK BUT PLAYERS ROLE!

-missed chances infront of the goal are lack of concentration of ur players. -ITS NOT LUCK, GIGGS CANT SCORE, ITS NOT LUCK TERRY CAN CLEAR THE BALL OFF THE LINE!

all these u mentioned directly involve players whose role can change the situation!

but wat are cross bars and post shots attributed to except luck?
