yeah... that was too close... Eto'o had a hell of a chance.

5/17/2006 3:35:24 PM

beautiful goal, too bad it was scored off a horrible call on an obvious dive lol

5/17/2006 3:36:23 PM

wow, posession is 35-65... lets see if arsenal can hold them.

5/17/2006 3:37:22 PM

arsenal played some epic D the last 10 - 15 minutes of the first half.

dont know how long they can keep that up. i dont see them holding out with only 10 men the whole second half.

5/17/2006 3:39:10 PM

I don't either. Best case: arsenal forces sudden death.

But even that's a tall order.


But I'm pullin for em. I got a Viera jersey

5/17/2006 3:42:11 PM

A Vieira Juventus jersey?

At least Eboue will be the new poster boy for diving.

No, back when he was still with the gunners.

5/17/2006 3:44:47 PM

BTW, there's no sudden death.

5/17/2006 3:47:19 PM

not in the champions league?

5/17/2006 3:47:52 PM

Nope no golden goal. 2 15 minute extra sessions then if it's tied a penalty shoot out.

5/17/2006 3:48:44 PM

Not in any FIFA competition. FIFA abolished the golden goal last year.

5/17/2006 3:49:18 PM

They had it last year during the CL final right? I swear I remember being on the edge of my seat the entire extra sessions.. of course that game last year I doubt will EVER be matched in ANY event..

Oh for the record I don't care who wins. I hope Barca levels and there is some high drama deep into the 120 minute

Man they are just raining down shots... one of them is going to go in...

5/17/2006 4:23:02 PM

Manchester United would beg to differ.

5/17/2006 4:23:51 PM

GOOOOAAAALLL!!!!!!!!!!!

5/17/2006 4:25:06 PM

Eto'o

5/17/2006 4:25:10 PM

hell yeah

very nice eto'o

5/17/2006 4:25:37 PM

fuck... henry has run himself to death... there's no way arsenal wins this one.

5/17/2006 4:26:26 PM

All 10 look dogged out there..

5/17/2006 4:27:11 PM

henry is the hardest workin player in soccer, he's always playin defense and of course he's an offensive machine

5/17/2006 4:27:24 PM

i mean, playing with a man down, this was better of a game than I would've expected.

5/17/2006 4:28:21 PM

aw man.. bad goal

5/17/2006 4:29:05 PM

holy shit
another....
GOOOOOOAAAAALLL!!!!!!

5/17/2006 4:29:20 PM

its all over now
what a match
arsenal played real fuckin good
especially since they only had 10 people

5/17/2006 4:30:38 PM

goddamn lehmann...

5/17/2006 4:30:58 PM

gg barcelona

5/17/2006 4:44:11 PM

that was fun. i'm disappointed with ronaldinho, but i guess it's pretty hard to put the moves on in a downpour. oh well, barcelona still won.

5/17/2006 4:46:21 PM

gotta love handing you your silver medals and then making you walk right by the trophy lol

5/17/2006 4:49:38 PM

yea... lol


stfu

5/17/2006 4:55:24 PM

gay


Arsenal was outplaying them when it was 11 on 11.


ah well...hopefully henry will stay with arsenal

5/17/2006 5:04:42 PM

he should... there's no reason for him to go anywhere else right now.

5/17/2006 6:21:06 PM

except for the fact that he and his manager were fighting throughout the whole second half

5/17/2006 6:29:34 PM

^^ all the announcers keep on saying that he could go to barca but then again its just

good game, but ronaldinho was def. had probably the worst game ive ever watched him play.

5/17/2006 7:16:47 PM

it was a great game. would have been awsome with 11 v. 11 but not the best final.

I see all these videos of ronaldinho breaking ankles and zapping shots but when I watch him he does nothing he does in the videos. He is a great player but had a poor game today. I Hope he gets nasty in the WC so I can see some ill shit.

5/17/2006 8:19:04 PM

^ well, it was hard to top last year

Henry going to stay or go...to maybe Barca?

5/17/2006 10:21:05 PM

he's gone

5/17/2006 10:21:58 PM

like i said, it was pouring down rain. you can't really juke people out and do the shit ronaldinho does best on a soaked grass field.

Yeah, I was waiting for him to just explode and do something tht would get the team going. Was I expecting the greatest moves? Obviously not, because of the conditions. However, he didn't need to put it all on his shoulders thanks to Eto'o, and the 1 man advantage. It was still a hell of a game.

5/18/2006 1:06:20 AM

He wasn't terrible, either. Fact is, up a man or not, he helped a great deal in working the ball around against formidable backs. Also, the pass that he sent that turned Eto'o (the shot that Almunia pushed to the post) was quite nice.

5/18/2006 1:20:18 AM

I really wish that red card never happened (I mean it was fair and all, but it really does take a great bit out of the game)


oh well, bring on the world cup.....

5/18/2006 9:07:42 AM

don't forget that Arsenal's goal came off a bullshit call.

5/18/2006 9:10:51 AM

^
Playing devils advocate........it was a good move by emboue (sp?) because they were a man down. They werent doing shit after the red card and when he got that call, they went up 1-0.

Deco does that shit all the time but everyone knows he does it so it doesnt fly.

5/18/2006 10:36:53 AM

Saw Henry's and Wenger's post-game interview on FSC via Sky.

Does ref-hating get old to anyone else?

5/18/2006 11:26:32 AM

henry is normally a classy guy.

wenger is always complaining, if he left arsenal i wouldnt despise them as much as i currently do
