Gooooooooooooooooolllllll!!

The UEFA Champions League soccer final was played yesterday in Istanbul. Liverpool against AC Milan. (This is essentially the club championship of Europe) I taped it and watched last night. Quite the amazing game.

Milan was up 3-0 at halftime. They scored their first goal about 50 seconds into the match. Liverpool didn't look like they belonged in the tournmanet, let alone the championship game. One of the commentators said it looked like men against boys. Indeed, some thought Liverpool overachieved to get to this game.

But the game looked over at halftime. A 3-0 lead at this level is a huge, enormous lead. Yet, the tables reversed in the second half, and Liverpool was a different team. They scord 3 goals in six minutes to tie. The game eventually went to penalty kicks (after a couple of amazing close-in saves by Liverpool's goalie in the waning seconds of overtime) Liverpool won 3-2 on penalty kicks.
