Gerrard Magic

GERRARD!!!

Next up Olympiakos. We needed a 1-0 win. But if they scored, we'd have to win by 2 clear goals since the champions league was decided by head to head records. So it'd have to be 3-1 or 4-2.

We start out well, had a goal disallowed for a foul and pressured the greeks until that brazilian mercenary, Rivaldo decides to score off a freekick before the half hour mark. Nunez steps away from his spot in the wall, opening a hole where the ball went through, dumbfounding Kirkland. Halftime score? 0-1 Olympiakos in the lead, well organised. Liverpool? Staring elimination in the face, especially since Monaco were 3 up against Deportivo.

So we needed 3 goals. Cue Florent Sinama-Pongolle. The young frenchman puts one in to level matters. Then Stevie puts one in! 2-1! But its not to be! Disallowed! Another foul. Says the referee who chose not to send off 2 or 3 greeks for multiple yellow card offences. Then Kewell heads straight into the keeper. Agony. It looked all over at that point. 2 more goals needed with ten minutes to go we get a freekick outside the box. Sinama-Pongolle, alert after what looked a blatant penalty, gets a brilliant cross to the far post. Nunez heads it! Brilliant save from Nikopolidis but Mellor gets to it first! 2-1! Can the impossible become possible? Will the tide turn? Minutes to go, ball drops to Steven Gerrard, one red-blooded Liverpudlian, captain of the Reds. It comes at an awkward height... right boot, half-volley, wild swing... its going into the stands... rockets off, stays down... gets past the keeper into a bulging net at the Kop end and the stadium erupts, Liverpool through to the next round.

Haven't posted anything in more than a week. Largely because I've been preoccupied with having fun now that all the projects and presentations and exams are all over.

Also because I'm fixated by a new online game... d.o online!
and a forum where you can find information.

If it weren't for the fact that I had commitments in school, I'd be one of the higher levels now... As it is, I'm still enjoying it especially since Wenhui is ingame as well... fun to party with her killing monsters and stuff...

You find the odd asshole/bitch ingame but its easy to forget.
