Chelsea vs ManU: Chelsea let their chance slip away...

I was exiting the building, when I saw a group of 9 people sitting around the TV watching a football(soccer) match. I realised it was the climax of the Champions League final, but Americans watching it? On moving closer I found out that 3 were Chinese; a couple Korean; another 2 African, a single East Indian and a lone American(at least he looked so). So much so for my assumptions, but I hadn't expected the match to go on for so long, as I had come across the score at half time, 1-1, looooooooong back.

There were about 3 minutes left into the 2nd extra-time, so I decided to wait and watch who won. In the overtime of the extra time two guys fell to the ground in what seemed to be a performance worthy of an Oscar, but replays showed they had banged their heads against each other. And so the 2 minutes extra time became 4.

Then came the penalties. Christiano Ronaldo missed his kick while trying to over-do a fake, it was so bad. But we were in for a surprise: Chelsea skipper John Terry, who should have wrapped things up as his teammates had missed none, shot wide of the goal, slipping, even when the goalie(Van de Saar) had dived the other way. Apparently the wet outfield had let the cup slip away. So sad.... Things came to an end when Van de Saar saved a goal.

The crowd I was with was in shock; they almost celebrated when Terry's strike seemed to be on target. None of them were happy with ManU's victory. I felt sad too. Talk about losing from a winning position in front of your bosses' home country.
