Manchester vs Chelsea today in European Soccer Championship Game!

[Phil C]

Those that can will probably want to watch it. I think it is on ESPNU at 2 P.M. but please double check your tv guide to get it right. If you can don't miss this one. It is two great teams with great soccer players.
It is ironic that the two final teams are from England who is not even on the main European continents and the two teams are playing for the championship in Moscow, Russia.

[Phil C]

It is on ESPN2 right now! Quick get to your tv and get this game recorded or get to the tv and watch it if you can! Hurry!

Soccer is a communist sport. :hand:

[Phil C]

Other than China there are no longer any communist countries in the world except for China. Cuba is more of a dictatorship.

North Korea is communist...China is changing and it going to hurt the world economy.


and another think why do people always say soccer is a communist sport?

I don't know about the communist thing, but I do know that everytime I watch a game I get the feeling I'm watching 22 Manu Ginoblis. They take flopping to a new level, especially the South American players. After watching a guy get taken off on a stretcher, the player then gets up, grimaces, drinks some water and then proceeds to run back on to the field only to repeat the process 10 minutes later. Makes me wanna puke, bunch of freakin' sissies!

I've asked before and never really gotten an answer!

I guess there must be a lot of communists in Frisco and the surrounding areas because there are always a ton of people playing soccer!

Soccer originated in China 3000 years ago so it's a communist sport.
Soccer is for the folks without the nerve to play rugby or football.
Soccer is boring.

[Centextrash]

1-1 @ half... Go Manchester!

Also 3ADL's least favorite! (http://bbs.3adownlow.com/vb/poll.php?s=&action=showresults&pollid=2159) :(

[kepdawg]

Amazing header to save what would have been a goal on the empty net!

[Phil C]

It is tied and going into overtime with the score Manchester United 1 Chelsea 1!

Heading to the 2nd period of extra time right now.

[Old Tiger]

outstanding football game so far.

[Phil C]

It will be a shame if this great game has to come down to penalty kicks.

[Old Tiger]

two yellows and a red card in less than a minute

[Phil C]

Man isn't this exciting. Whew! Hang onto your hats everyone!

[Phil C]

Man if no one scores in the next few minutes we will be in penalty kicks. :(

[Old Tiger]

ouch pretty good head shot

[Phil C]

We are in stoppage time. It looks like it will be decided by penalty kicks. A sad way to end a great game but maybe it is best before they kill each other. :(

[Phil C]

Now it will be decided by penalty kicks. In penalty kicks it is tied at 1 - 1. A great game but it is a shame it has to be decided by penalty kicks. :(

[Phil C]

Tied at 2 - 2 in penalty kicks.

[Phil C]

A miss and now Chelsea takes a 3 - 2 penalty kick lead. This may win it for Chelsea.

[Old Tiger]

5/5 tied

[Old Tiger]

Man U wins....

Chelsea missed a free kick and a chance to win it. Still going. What a horrible way to decide a great game even though it is exciting.

[Phil C]

Chelsea misses another one and Manchester United makes theirs and wins the game.

[cshscougar08]

Great game. Chelsea player who got a red card could have cost his team the game. Shades of Zidane. But that miss by Terry was pretty unbelievable.

[KingRob]

Just got in from the pub. Man, it was crazy in there tonite. It was a good game. I can't believe I watched the whole thing. Of course a couple of pints was with!!

Cheers mates!:D
