And they all talked about Liverpool

Been lazy lately, with not much drive to strive.
Read a few guys blog and for those who were Liverpool fans, one theme popped up:
The fact that Liverpool is in Champion's League Final, against AC Milan.

A quick one on the above. Me Liverpool fan too. Not too diehard, but enough to always back Liverpool even when the odds are strongly against them. FYI, for those who don't know, Liverpool is a football club in UK. Currently not the best in terms of the Premier League, however over the years their history is amazing. Recent times Liverpool haven't been Champion material, but this CL final gives the team an opportunity to return to previous glory days.

I saw that match, I saw the (boring) 0-0 1st leg too. Oh, as a Liverpool fan I shouldn't say that it was boring (it was a good result to bring back to Anfield), however looking from a neutral, any game that ends 0-0 tend to bore. Tactics prevailed over technique.

And it was similar in the return leg. Other than the fortunate goal early in the game, the teams stuck to their tactics like before and the game ended 0-1. It wasn't pretty, but in the end the results matter most.

I have to admit, while for a neutral, it wasn't very exciting, being a fan it was very stressful. Knowing that a single goal by Chelsea (did I not mention this was their opponent?) will take them through instead of my team, I was anxious throughout the game. Worried sick at times. But I kept watching. And they won.

And that's all that matters.......
