When Jason asked me about the prospect of Liverpool winning the Champions League, I have to admit something. Something that other fans would prolly slaughter me for.
I laughed.
When they were 3-0 down in the first half, I was so angry at their lacklustre performance that I fell asleep on the living room couch. It wasn't until the 52nd minute when my dad yelled "GOAL!" that I woke up. Even then, I went back to sleep, but bang and another bang later, they were LEVEL. I was so so emotional that I almost CRIED. How on earth they did it, I don't know. Then the penalty shootout. When Dudek miraculously pulled of that Shevchenko save after successful conversions by Cisse, Smicer and Hamann, I lost it. I was jumping around the house at 6am in the morning, screaming with joy.
Baros and Gerrard high-fiving when they were awarded the penalty in the 60th minute, Dudek and his wobbly legs at the shootout, Cisse and his Samba! around the humongous cup. Gerrard emphatically lifting the cup in triumph.. WOW.
Who would have thought??
So what if you guys were 45mins late? Better late than never. BEWARE everyone. This blog is gonna come under the RED TIDE soon. Heroes, fighters, salute the 14! Jerzy Dudek, Steve Finnan, Sami Hyypia, Jamie Carragher, Djimi Traore, Luis Garcia, Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, John Arne Riise, Harry Kewell, Milan Baros, Djibril Cisse, Dietmar Hamann and Vladimir Smicer :)
