Watched it last night on the replay.. have to say it was a pretty good match. One question though.... why was the European Championship being played in Moscow? (Yes, I don't follow it that closely).
Man U pretty well owned the first half. It looked like Chelsea was afraid to press the ball much past midfield. The Chelsea goal was a very good attack followed by a lucky break. Van Der Sel just about had his hands on the ball even with his slip and fall.
Chelsea on the other hand was much better in the 2nd and the overtime, with Man U being just OK.
The PKs are an annoying way to end a game I think, but that's the way the rules go. Chelsea should have won it on those. That boot off the post had us falling off our seats. If you were to compare misses, Ronaldo's was just a bad shot and probably would have been waved off had he scored (that little stutter he did... my dad's a former ref and said that was a big NO NO). Terry on the other hand, had the right corner, had a good shot.... slipped and still almost made the shot. That was tough, especially with them losing minutes later.
All in all a great game to watch.
