do they? Those suckers can play some hellacious defense once they get up. However, if AC Milan scores first those Itlians know how to do it.

AC Milan 2-Liverpool 0

However, I do want Liverpool to win.

i'm really pulling for Liverpool big time today. the way they have competed in the CL this year, i can't doubt them. my not-so-safe prediction is a Liverpool win 2-1.

1-0 Liverpool...and that's the only scoreline they can win by in my opinion (other than a 0-0 penatly result).

I'm going to take a long lunch and head to my local bar to watch it.

any americans on Liverpool?

How can you say "No way they win"? People said that when they played Juve and Chelsea and the Reds prevailed. I think they have more than a sporting chance. They made it this far didn't they. Remember, Milan needed some heroics of their own to make it into the Finals.

not that i know of. but the match itself is showcasing 19 nationalities:

Players from 19 different countries will be represented Wednesday when AC Milan and Liverpool play in the Champions League final in Istanbul, Turkey.

Six-time champion Milan will have three Brazilians in the starting lineup and one on the bench, along with two Dutch stars, a Ukrainian, an Argentine striker with maybe a Dane, a Georgian and a Portuguese in reserve.

Liverpool can beat that easily. Rafa Benitez' team most likely will have nine different nationalities on the field when the game begins, with two more on the bench.

Liverpool has a Polish goalkeeper (Jerzy Dudek), defenders from Ireland (Steve Finnan), Finland (Sami Hyypia) and France (Djimi Traore), midfielders from Spain (Luis Garcia and Xabi Alonso), Germany (Dietmar Hamann) and Norway (John Arne Riise) and forwards from the Czech Republic (Milan Baros and Vladimir Smicer). On the bench, Benitez has Australian forward Harry Kewell and Croatian midfielder Igor Biscan.

Milan has four Italian starters, while Liverpool has two English.

That was quick. Liverpool loses in the first minute.

yipes.

And a second goal for Milan ~38:00.

You've got to be kidding me.






Milan scores a third goal in the 43rd minute. I think I'm done with this game.

yipes again!

Holy crap. Liverpool just scored two goals in the past three minutes.

Plenty of time left.

Liverpool ties it up.
Three goals in five minutes. Wow.

HOLY CRAP!!!

i definitely need to get a copy of this game. stupid work.

I am recording it on the DVR as we speak. I am afraid though because I forgot to extend the recording. Hopefully someone scores and it doesn't go into overtime.

This is a good game.

Still at 3-3. Headed to extra time.

To Penalty kicks we go!

Liverpool wins the Champions League while finishing fifth in the Premiership. Amazing.

3-2 on penalties.

WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!

and they can't even compete for it next year, unless UEFA makes an exception for them, which i doubt they will.

Amazing game. Great comeback. Glad I didn't give up and start studying at half time like I'd planned.

That was an awesome game. I never expected a six goal game. Liverpool wins and mark my words, UEFA will grant them an exception for next year's CL.

WOW!
