Impact Soccer

pour une fois que je me farcis la coupe d'ecosse (1-0 pour hearts contre gretna a la mi-temps,goal de skacel,l'ex marseillais) la coupe d'angleterre semble pour une fois plus interessante.
west ham mene 2-1 a la mi-temps contre les "scousers" de liverpool.j'ai vu le résumé a la mi-temps et liverpool semble tres tres tres mauvais.
vont il etre le premier club depuis 40 ans (everton en 66 contre west brom)a gagner la coupe apres avoir été mené de 2 buts....rendez vous dans 45 minutes pour le savoir.

incroyable 1-1 a glasgow ou (et je ne n'invente rien,gretna de d3 est la meilleure equipe sur le terain) et 3-3 a cardiff grace a un goal de gerrard a la 89 eme (le meme que contre olympiakos l'an passé pour ceux qui s'en rappelent).
prolongations dans les deux cas.

quelle journée mes amis !!!

tout ca c'est joue aux penos 4-2pour hearts en ecosse (et l'honeteté me pousse a dire que l'equipe de d3 meritait au moins le nul).
a cardiff liverpool a gagné 4-2 (helas,je n'ai rien de particulier contre liverpool,mais force est de constater que les 4 memes usals suspects ont gagne 14 des 15 dernieres finales de fa cup.....pfffff).
alors faites un effort mettez vous a supporter des brols comme blackburn,boro,villa ou meme gillingham (gulp!) vous ne gagnerez pas la f.a cup ni la champions league chaque année mais c'est autrement plus chouette (et croyez moi je sais de quoi je parle) que de supporter les memes brols comme chelsky,manure assenal ou liverpool....

euh,j'ai l'excuse d'avoir bu plein de biere cet apres midi....

ce soir coupe de belgique (eh oui journée foot)...
avec l'equation habituelle 1 equipe du sud contre une du nord...
un refferee flamingand qui arbitre a sens unique (demandez a matt il sait ce que c'est)...et on dit que les gens parlent de separatisme.

ah oui le score !
zulte-waregem2-mouscron 1
(louvressac ayant abusé de triple westmalle)

je viens de visionner match of the day,et je ne peux m'enpecher de tracer des paraleles avec la finale de la champion's league....
1. les meilleurs ont perdus
2.liverpool,defensiveent n'est nulle part
3.ils jouent 10 minutes sur 120
4.gerrard est un genie qui une fois de plus gagne la coupe a lui tout seul.

p.s avez vous remarqué que jaimie carragher est le sosie quasi parfait de peter taylor l'entraineur de hull city (dans le meme ordre d'idée le gardien de gretna ressemble etrangement (quoique en moins joufflu) a danny wilson l'ancien coach de barnsley,sheffield wed,bristol city et mk dons.

p.s.2 en fin d'emission la BBC a montré en 3 minutes et sur la musique du fabuleux "hoppipolla" des islandais de sigur ros une retrospective des 6 finales de F.A. cup disputées a cardiff,qui demontre par l'absurde pourquoi les anglais ont bien la meilleure chaine de television du monde.....un tres grand moment.

1 - Il ne faut pas oublier que les meilleurs trouvent toujours une facon de gagner et ils savent qu'un match de foot dure 90mins+.
2 - Les meilleurs profitent toujours des erreurs defensives de l’autre equipe.
3 - Les meilleurs savent comment gagner en PK.
4 - Si Gerrard est un genie, Pepe Reina est un dieu. "en PK"

il n'y a pas que moi qui le dit....

Great players give you something extra - and boy did Steven Gerrard give Liverpool something extra


Liverpool won a truly great FA Cup final played in a great spirit - but without one man West Ham would have had the trophy in their dressing room and would have been celebrating.

This was one of the classic Cup finals and it is desperately unfortunate that they should lose on penalties.

West Ham were the better side and should have won, but Liverpool had Steven Gerrard and that is why a very good season is now a great one for Rafael Benitez's side.

What a man, what a player and what a captain.

Liverpool made some good signings at the start of the season, but there was one man who was the best when they got him to sign a new contract and his name was Steven Gerrard.

Great players give you something extra when you are down and out and dead and buried and boy did Gerrard give Liverpool something extra.

Liverpool were a beaten side when the ball bounced out to him in the 90th minute of normal time, but it was a quite magnificent strike that beat Shaka Hislop and sent the game into extra time.

Gerrard is a man who doesn't know when he's beaten and he just scored an unbelieveable goal.

He looked like he was struggling with something, whether it was cramp or an injury, just before the ball came to him, and then he produced a strike like that with time running out.

It's what great players do and Gerrard is a great player.

It is scant consolation for Alan Pardew and his West Ham side, but they were absolutely brilliant - players and manager.

They had giant performances from Danny Gabbidon, Dean Ashton and Nigel Reo-Coker, who I thought was absolutely magnificent.

And I say again, if it was not for Gerrard they would have won.

Normal time was fantastic, but extra time was also fascinating because I've never seen so many players go down injured or with cramp.

And then we had the last-minute drama when Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina turned the ball on to the post and the ball fell to Marlon Harewood on his injured foot and he couldn't get it in - you couldn't have written the script.

Liverpool gave the ball away too much in the first half. Djibril Cisse's goal was vital for Benitez's side after West Ham went two up, and to be honest in the 31 minutes before he scored he had had a shocker.

There were individual errors for goals for Liverpool, but Ashton was outstanding in the first half and produced a quite magnificent pass that led to Jamie Carragher's own goal.

In the end, it would have been tough on either side to lose on penalties, but Reina made up for his mistake that led to Ashton's goal by saving three penalties.

Liverpool claimed the trophy, but as I said, West Ham were the better side and can be proud of their efforts.

But once again, it was that man Gerrard who pulled Liverpool up when they were down and led them to the FA Cup.
