Chelsea beat Liverpool in overtime today to advance into the Champions League final. The aggregate score was 4-3. This game had it all - end to end attacking, controversial referee decisions (Essien's disallowed goal, Hypia's non-penalty), dubious coaching decisions (Liverpool subbed off goal-scorer Torres instead of general waste-of-space Dirk Kuyt), pre-game trash talk (Benitez claimed he had a 4 year video record of Drogba's dives), fantastic goals, and emotion. Frank Lampard played his first game since his mother died last week, scored a penalty kick, and kissed his black armband. Now they will play Manchester United in the final in Moscow on May 21st.
I watched the game at Summer's and am glad for it, it was one of the best games all season. Plus the Liverpool supporters were good comic relief, screaming for penalties after every cross or blocked shot. And yes, my thesis is due in two days, but some things in life are important.
Video highlights to come.

Chelsea Football club is the worst representation of humanity in the history of Sports. They make the Yankees look like all that is good with sports. I hate Chelsea. Don't you feel ashamed rooting for a team that is funded with all kinds of shady oil money? Do you feel proud that that money you spend on Chelsea apparel goes to a gangster? Why don't you make a donation to the Taliban while your at it?
Chelsea is the epitome of capitalism and globalization and thus the future of sport, finance, social and political organization, and humanity itself. Chelski is the vanguard of the revolution! Don't hate.
Boo Chelsea
