I tuned in the TV to find the game at the start of overtime, and as it turned out it was timed just perfectly over here for a nice little afternoon nap. I don't think I've ever heard Old Trafford sound so quiet on the telly, and that's saying something. Considering it was two teams at the verge of winning or losing the greatest prize in the sport, you'd have thought the fans (or the players, for that matter) would show a bit more intensity. Both groups of fans were notably quieter than the travelling contingent of an ordinary mid-table premiership side. "Oh, look, they've managed to cross a ball past the goal mouth. Let's all clap."
Once it went to penalties at 0-0, I expected the atmosphere to get better. It was, if anything, quieter. At least, I figured, we'll get a goal. Almost wrong there as well. As it turned out, the trophy went to the team that managed to convert more than half its penalties--Milan, 3-2. Once the thing was over, THEN the Milan supporters started getting loud. "You only sing when you've wo-on...." All in all, a ghastly spectacle. Paul Hoosier Red ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Get A Free Psychic Reading!
