    Wow what a finish, hearbreak for PSV, sorry arno...:(

    I HATE the away goal rule btw. I mean shootouts are lame too, but there's just something cheap about advancing on away goals.

    I'm used to heartbreakers the last week(rockets:(,And i'm much more a basketbal fan then soccer, but still) Thanks for your simpathy. Luckily for me i'm not a PSV fan, i'm a feyenoord fan. But i want dutch soccer to do wel, maybe tomorow AZ.
    The away goal is a terrible rule, i do not like it. The problem is that psv was 135 minutes better then milan,
    Basketbal is a much more fairer game. In soccer a team can be destroyed and still win. In basketbal that is not possible.

    Those damn italians they always play like this.:( :mad:
    ok tomorow i'll be cooled off, The rockets have to win tomorow, otherwise i have had a bad sportweek

    ITALIANS. ALWAYS THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!! I really don't know what to think, I don't even know what this is. PSV played SO well... but in the end they should have taken their chances. It's just annoying that Milaan had to get their stupid goal in the last minute after playing the way they did. I'm so worked up, I really can't stand this. I'm not even sure who I'll be rooting for. Stam has 2 Dutch guys in the team, but this loss hurt too much.

    Liverpool AC Milan has the potential to be a total snoooooooozefest. 1-0 anyone?

    On the PSV goalie btw, hard to pin it on him as the D let the guy in wide open, but that wasn't the hardest header in the world to stop.

    Gomez is a strange goalie, Sometimes he has the greatest games possible, and suddenly he makes a big mistake. He could have gotten that ball, But he is a pretty good goalie.

    BTW Alex is a terrific player.

    UEFA set to deny Liverpool
    UEFA will not change the rules to allow Liverpool to enter next season's Champions League as holders.

    Liverpool will face AC Milan in this season's final in Istanbul on May 25.

    But even victory could see the Anfield side miss out on next season's competition, with FA chiefs expected to decide at a meeting today that the top four in the Premiership should qualify for the Champions League - no matter what happens to Liverpool in Istanbul.

    Liverpool will then have to rely solely on a change of rules by UEFA should they win the final but finish out of the top four in the Premiership.

    But a rule change now appears unlikely, with UEFA director of communications William Gaillard insisting the rule 'stays at it is' for next season.

    Gaillard told the Daily Mail: 'For future seasons, say from 2006-2007, the executive committee may look to change the rule. But for next season the rule stays at it is.

    'The English Premiership has four places and it would be unfair to tell another national association that they have lost one of theirs.

    'You cannot change the rule at this late stage of the season.'

    The FA will continue to lobby UEFA for a fifth place for English clubs, and the position of European football's governing body appeared to have shifted slightly but importantly in favour of Liverpool this week following an intervention from president Lennart Johansson.

    Although their regulations stipulate that a maximum of four sides from any one country can take part in Europe's elite club competition, Johansson made it clear UEFA's executive committee do have the power to overrule and enforce any changes.

    However, Gaillard's comments seem to leave Liverpool chasing an unlikely fourth place in the Premiership for the right to play in next season's competition.

    UEFA will not take any action until after the final itself and should Liverpool win that, a decision would be made at the next executive committee meeting on June 17.

    It is understood that the majority of the FA's professional game board strongly favour awarding qualification to the side who finish fourth in the league.

    The Premier League will resist any attempt to remove the Champions League reward from the side that finishes fourth - Everton are in pole position - and most of the six chairmen are believed to hold similar views.

    They are Dave Richards (Premier League), David Dein (Arsenal vice-chairman), Rupert Lowe (Southampton), Phil Gartside (Bolton), David Sheepshanks (Ipswich) and Peter Heard (Colchester).

    Their decision will need to be approved by the full FA board but, given that the six are also members of that body, that will merely be a rubber-stamping exercise.

    Is the Champions League only English teams? Which one is where you've got all of Europe competing?

    NO

    Champions League is a competition for all the top-level clubs in Europe...this year the final will be AC Milan (Italy) v. Liverpool (England)......the other semifinalist were Chelsea (England) and PSV Eindhoven (Holland)
