    Terry needs immediate psychological evaluation after this game, his team was one goal from holding the trophy...then he slips and misses the goal altogether.

    Wow, just wow! What a game...lived up to the hype.

    Manu U got a ton of breaks. Great game all the way. 2 bad breaks on Drogba's and Lampards shots that hit the bar or it would have been over long before.

    I feel terrible for JT, but glad that United won it...

    Next year is Arsenal's year!

    Then surely the Rockets would lose...lol.

    I'm not a big fan of penalties either. I think they should just keep on playing sudden death like hockey until somebody scores.

    What a great game though. This was the best soccer game I've seen in a while.

    May not be necessary. He isn't a Colombian national, is he? If so, I would get those "soccer asylum" papers going asap...

    His plant foot just missed the ground and made him pull it as he was falling. It had nothing to do with the pitch. It's just something that happens from time to time.

    You can also pass blame on Drogba and not only Terry. If Drogba doesn't act a fool he would have been a penalty taker which could have changed the outcome.

    Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda...it is what it is and that's that.

    Terry would have taken the penalty, IMO, even if Drogba was there. So that was irrelevant.

    Drogba would not have been holding Terry as he was swinging his leg. Terry would still be at the centerstage all by his lonesome to choke.

    But what about the last kick? If Drogba is in there and he makes that kick then it's a whole different outcome. They would still be kicking penalties.

    Terry Missed and so did Ronaldo. The last kick is what did them in which in place of him or someone else Drogba would have been.

    Is everyone on here a freaking Man Utd fan? Give me a break. Its like becoming a Lakers fan or a Yankees fan in 2000. Picking the team that always wins. Unless you are from Manchester or have been a loyal fan for a very long time, I think its stupid to call yourself a Man Utd fan. :rolleyes:

    Might wanna get your eyes checked bruv. Vision might be failing you.

    Not sure how many United matches you've watched over the past couple of seasons but Ronaldo's become complete.

    Hype is what Joe cole was during his West Ham days. Hype and all flash, thats what Freddy Adu was in his DC United days.

    Ronaldo's only competition for the title is Messi or Kaka and neither had close to the kind of season that Ronaldo had.
