Boring

It s a boring day for me today. Woke up late and had hardly anything to do. No FIFA 07, no soccer, no outings. So just stayed at home to use the com. After doing the basic things like checking e mail, reading soccer news, browsed through my favourites and found Youtube. But then i realised that there was no match INTERESTING enough to watch on youtube. (liverpool lost to man u so no match nice la.) I was so bored that i just typed Steven Gerrard. Saw almost all his goals. Mostly wonder strikes and long range ones. After scrolling down, I saw the FA Cup Final 06 highlights. Just clicked and rewatch the goals. That video really justified Steven Gerrard as my favourite player. He's the best in the world. He can carry the whole team on his shoulders and lead to victory. There were 6 goals in total during normal time.

Just to refresh your memory or if you didnt know. The first was an own goal by Carragher, he tried to back heel a low cross but it was too fast and went in off the left foot. 0-1.

The second was a goal line scramble and Aston managed to squeeze in the goal. 0-2.

I remembered when it was 0-2 when i heard it live on BBC, i tot it was all over. But then Gerrard made a pin point cross from deep for an on rushing Cisse to meet and the French made a first time volley pass Hislop. 1-2.

Then a cross by Alonso into the box forced West Ham to clear but only to Gerrard who was in mid penalty area. He drove it in high in the net with so much force Hislop had no chance. 2-2.

Hope was coming back for Liverpool until Konchesky anyhow whack a cross cum shot into the box. Lucky for West Ham, it looped between Reina and the crossbar and went in. 2-3.

Even Konchesky thought he scored the winner. But then when the announcer anounced there was 4 minutes of extra time at the 90 minute mark, a loose ball bouncing outside the West Ham box was too tempting for Gerrard. A few strides, a swing of the valuable right leg and the driving force from the foot, it drove the ball low into the left bottom corner of Hislop's goal. 3-3.

It was like a fairytale story so perfect. The comeback by Liverpool was unbelievable.

The draw made the game to a stale extra time except for some close chance for West Ham but Reina saved it. In the end it all went down to penalties. Hamann took the first one and it went in. 1-0. Etherington took the second one but Reina saved. 1-0. Hyypia took the thrid one but Hislop saved. 1-0. Sheringham stepped up and scored for West Ham. 1-1. Back to square one, Gerrard rammed it to make it 2-1. Konchesky took the next one but Reina saved! 2-1. Riise drove the next one in. 3-1. Ferdinand took the decisive penalty. If it went in, there was still chance for the London club. But it was a poor penalty and Reina, the best penalty stopper in Spain saved it! Liverpool win the FA Cup!

Gerrard was the man of the match but give credit to Cisse who scored the first goal for Liverpool. The skipper, assisted one and scored two himself. That showed how good he is and deservingly be the best player to me.
