Some things of note:
- high marks to Joe Cole for not falling down in the box when Rio Ferdinand almost took his head off with his boot
- glad to see Cech save Ronaldo's pk, especially after he illegally stopped during his run up

Hirshey, great article. With Drogba's petulence, both Coles yelling (Joe at the ref, Ashley at his teammates), and Ballack getting in the face of Tevez, it couldn't have happened to a nicer group of guys.

Now get Shevchenko back to Milan or MLS...my Ukranian roots demand it.

]]> <![CDATA[Weep Not For John Terry]]> @Kalamazoo_Kicker: General term.

In the meantime, I would like to toot my own horn. In our preview, I called a 1-1 scoreline and a Ronaldo miss in the PKs. So what if I didn't name the correct scorers or foresee the fact that Brave John Terry would be goat of the match, not man of the match? I am still pretty awesome.

]]> <![CDATA[Weep Not For John Terry]]> @spinachdip: He's been rumored to Inter, but no Barca.

I figured he would want to stay at Chelsea, but Drogba, Shevchenko, Anelka, Shaun Wright-Phillips and maybe Malouda are all ripe for the taking IMO.

]]> <![CDATA[Weep Not For John Terry]]> Every year thre CL Final to me is one of the best sporting events of the year. It was nice to see Roman slumped over in his chair after that crushing loss. As for Avram Grant, well, the future looks promising, if he's still there.

Roberto Mancini opening his big mouth saying he was the next Chelsea manager didn't help things.

]]> <![CDATA[Weep Not For John Terry]]> Since we're gonna lose, well, everybody, Barcelona management, how bout we take a run at these so called "Chelsea losers". I hate Drogba with a passion, but only because he's at Chelsea. But in a Blau Grana kit, he'd look nice.

Eto'o to Tottenham? Really? You hear that, Andy Garcia Berbatov? We'll welcome you with open arms.

My Government Name is Berto, But My Spiritual Name is BRONZE NAZARETH

]]> <![CDATA[Weep Not For John Terry]]> @strong like bull smart like tractor: Essien could have been a hell of a lot worse, but they miss his pace on the other end of the field. perhaps my favorite moment of the match (aside from the goal, cech's save in pk's, cech's save on tevez, and, of course, ronaldo's miss) was when Essien made a run all the way to the edge of the penalty area and juked Ronaldo for a change.

KOGOD

]]> <![CDATA[Weep Not For John Terry]]> @Unsilent Majority: You ain't kidding. It's saying something that JOE FREAKING COLE played better defense on Ronaldo than Essien did yesterday.

spinachdip

]]> <![CDATA[Weep Not For John Terry]]> Watched it, loved it. Good control of the ball by ManU early; the second half degenerated into a ball-skipping wet turf contest, so you couldn't really get any momentum going.

If they were to show Premier League games over MLS games, I think you'd have more fans of soccer in the U.S.

]]> <![CDATA[Weep Not For John Terry]]> The bar I was at last night cut away to the opening tip off of Suprs/Lakers shortly after Drogba got sent packing.
When I politely asked if one of the five screens could keep the game on I was met with a resounding "Soc-cer?"
Oh well, at least the Spurs lust.
I'm not talking to you, Tottenham.

]]> <![CDATA[Weep Not For John Terry]]> Considering that this was probably the last we'll ever see of Drogba in a Chelsea shirt, you'd think at least he' d want to go out on a high note. At least Zidane head-butted that motherfucker Matterazzi to the turf.

Seriously. To get sent off for brushing dirt off his face was a sad way to go. After he was sent off, he made a path to Vidic to at least get his money's worth, but too little too late.

That's why Zidane is the man. Sure, you cost your team a title, but you got your money's worth.
