Re: Champions of Europe!
Nobody won, MH - it was a 1-1 draw.
The crap-shoot at the end isn't football, so it doesn't count.
And by the way - when it's such an important event (WC Final, Euro final, Champs Lge final etc), what's wrong with a good old-fashioned REPLAY? It's not as if there are 'other matches' to be squeezed in.

Re: Champions of Europe!
No I'm not (how dare you?). The Bangle and others who know my affiliations will confirm that, for MY team, the chance even to appear in and LOSE a Champs League final is a dream never to come true......... we did win the League Cup 20 years ago though.
I stand by my comment - when England v Portugal reached the shoot-out stage in the 2006 WC, I walked out of the bar. No point after that - doesn't matter whether you win or lose in a shoot-out. Never liked them, never will.........

Re: Champions of Europe!
plus it was a foregone conclusion that Engerland would lose the said penalty shootout....
I understand why they are used to bring a match to a conclusion, but it is no way to lose. very very hard to take..
Entertaining for the neutral, great for TV but for the sport, players and fans of the teams involved it is NO way to lose such an important competition.

Re: Champions of Europe!
Calm down.....
I don't support either team, but I did think it must have been a nice consolation prize to the Mancunians who had their city trashed by Rangers "fans."
I watched that same England/Portugal match at the pub and it was a bitter ending, but a loss none the less. Since the match went over time, I even got a parking ticket for my troubles (meter expired).

Manchester was hardly 'trashed' now was it? I understand that exaggerating the truth is a texan trait but jeez....
Looking at this photo, im surprised there wasnt major injuries..
