Football is a Funny Game

In the old days, we used to call our favourite playground as 'Wembley'. Nowadays that name has disappeared and I struggle to find a nice name for our little practice ground in the backyard.

Watched the two Champions League semis this midweek - what a difference. The first game between Liverpool and Chelsea was all about true passions for the game shown at all levels - the players, the managers and the supporters. The second between AC Milan and Man U was a complete mismatch - with only one team showing the initiative while Man U being lethargic and played like a third-tier league team. Blaming tiredness might be valid but football is all about passion, the appetite to win must be there.

So in three weeks time 2005 final repeats itself - Liverpool vs AC Milan. Who will win?
