Seba, Terry’s the captain, and he took one (succesfully) for England when we last lost a penalty shoot-out… I think he’d have taken one anyway.

It wasn’t Carlitos’s best match for us – sure the header was at speed, but look at the one he scored late on against Blackburn a few weeks ago! That said, he played a huge part in getting United to Moscow in the first place, with his goal against Lyon and performances in both legs of the semi with Barcelona.

He also scored a penalty in the shoot-out which, although I can’t stand penalty shoot-outs (hey, I’m English…), is all you can ask. Still, if only he’d scored when it was 1-0, there might not have been a need to decide a trophy on the penalty sideshow…

See Johnny? What did I tell you about Migliore? He kept a clean sheet while extending his undefeated streak.

There’s nothing to do against Boca. I was born in a wrong era. When will their eternal good run end? PLEASE! I can’t take it anymore.

Even Palermo scores a Zidanesque goal and gets a hat-trick in Mexico!

Not very fair there, Sam. The header was performed at top speed and with barely no time to adjust. All credit to Cech there.

The other one was too close to call and he couldn’t reach for the ball.

Then…he started the mess that got Drogba ejected and forced John Terry to have to take a penalty! Talk about influencing a game! haha!

Headed one straight at Cech and missed a sitter a few minutes later. United should have been two up at half-time if he’d had his shooting boots on…

But I think I’ll forgive him under the circumstances!

Seba ! Lies, damn lies and statistics !! Maybe the back plays better with Migliore because they know he is like a piece of moldy, holey(?) old swiss cheese !! Or maybe I am completely off my rocker, and Migliore is a good keeper ! We are likely to find out tonight ! A tough situation for him or any other keeper. I guarentee you Marioni is licking his chops as I type this !!

About an hour and a half to ManU and Chelsea. Can we hope that Carlitos scores a clinching goal ? Now that would be a beautiful thing.

You’ll be surprised to know, Johnny, that Migliore has won the last five matches he played! 3 at La Bombonera and 2 away.

What about that????

I’m getting ready for the Champions League final. Vamos Carlitos (even if it appears that he’ll start on the bench).

Well, no Caranta in goal tonight for Boca. Instead Migliore. This is like to trying to win a 100 meter dash with an anvil tied around your leg.
