redemption

the bayern vs chelsea game proves that the best or better teams don't always win. character, determination and a little bit of luck play a bigger role than talent alone. i was dead tired from my trip from anvaya cove but i managed to stay up the entire time (with a little help from red bull lol). it was certified classic. there was drama. in fact, it was kinda overwhelming (my 32 year old heart was put into stress test haha). there were a lot of heroes... ashley cole more than made up for the absence of terry and ivanovic.  peter cech made that crucial penalty save. mata was aggressive upfront and was responsible for the corner kick that led to drogba's brilliant header. and of course, there's drogba. his confident penalty kick sealed the deal for the blues. redemption at last.

if you have friends who want to know why we love football... tell them to watch the replay. the beauty of the game can't be explained any better than this.
