Champion's League: Liverpool go through!

YAY! Last night I was tellign someone that Liverpool had better win or draw their match with Real Betis, because I really didn't fancy going to Chelsea needing somethign from that game to go through. That last group match against Olympiakos last season was already nerve-wracking enough...

Well. They didn't win. But they drew. 0-0. And Liverpool are through! Yay!

Oh. And Chelsea won. Damn.

So, alld the English sides are now through, and we can loo.... what? what's that you say? Manchester Unitd need to go to Portugal and WIN or they're OUT OF THE CHAMPION'S LEAGUE?

Now THAT'S something to look forward to, eh? :)

Football: Thank You Spanish Liverpool!

"Thank You Spanish Liverpool!"

Luis Garcia scored three. Morientes scored one. Xabi Alonso came on as a sub. Spain won 5-1.

And I thought Liverpool was an English team.

Oh wait. They ARE an English team. England won 3-2 against Argentina - Gerrard had an assist. Crouch lost out to a shortstop for a HEADER.

If only Carragher had played, and if only Crouch had scored, then it would have been all good. DAMMIT.

This is such a great picture that I just HAD to put it up here:

It accompanies this story from Soccernet: Owen warns boo-boys off goalshy Crouch

Well, it's easy for OWEN to say, eh? He's been banging in the goals for Newcastle, but Crouch has zilch.

But I AM hoping Crouch would get a goal. It would do his barely-existent confidence a whole lot of good.

Not that I'll be watching the England match though. I don't support England, REMEMBER?

EPL: Weekend of the Season & Team of the Week

I suppose it's been a good weekend for all fans of the EPL huh? (Unless you're a Chelsea fan, of course).

Manure winning 1-0 was a breath of fresh air (and bear in mind, I don't usually have a lot of good things to say about them), and Liverpool finally getting an Away win was great too (That, coupled with the Champion's League win, was a mighty great result).

Anyway, I'm here not to gloat, and not to jump with joy, but to point out a frankly incresingly brilliant feature on Soccernet that I'm really starting to enjoy: The Team of The Week.

Yes, it's another of those features that highlight the best players over the weekend. It used to be pretty boring, but lately, the writers have spruced it up by making it really funy and creative. Check out this week's, which is a series of poems dedicated to each of the players in the team. Check out Stevie G's Ode:

O Captain! My Captain!
O CAPTAIN! My Captain, our dreaded task is done,
Our foes are vanquished with two late goals, and the three points are won,
For you, the bouquets and the Champagne, for you the fans a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying masses, though for us the skies are still clouding;
Here Captain! Dear Stevie!
Giver of our daily bread,
How sad you look, to see
Our title dreams still cold and dead.

For the rest, Check out Soccernet's TEAM OF THE WEEK here.

And check out last week's as well, which was equally hilarious, HERE.
