Oh good freaking god yes! Try working 20 hours day, every day at IIM-A then taking a flight back to Mumbai for an exam; A flight which was got us to Mumbai at 11 pm instead of 9:40 pm. Watching the match at your place.. seeing Ronaldo take the lead, seeing Tavez miss two dead easy shots and then Lampard poaching a lucky goal on a very bad surface to play. Second half honestly, I didn’t watch that well cause I was sleepy but I fought sleep and stayed awake only for my tv cable connection to die at the 88th minute :(
I check the connections, they are proper so its an tv cable provider thing.
So what do I do? I go to online scores. I talked to a few people on IRC and a friend was live commentating for me (quicker and more detailed than online thingo). It was dead exciting… You couldn’t have written a better script. Tavez misses the 2 chances, scores the penalty. Ronaldo scored a goal but missed the penalty. Terry had to score to win it but he didn’t! In the end, it was Nicolas Anelka who missed it. Sorry but this was just our year :D
Yay for Manchester United \o/ They have won the UEFA Champions League after drawing the match 1-1 in regular and extra time :) A special thank you to Drogba for getting a red :P Wonder why Rooney didn’t take a penalty :S
(As I was writing the line “so its an tv cable provider thing”, I checked on my pc and got the tv back… now I am seeing us get the trophy :D I’ll post it just as they lift it up :) Now only to see the replay :))

Here’s how the penalties panned out :)

Moscow, Here we come!

Thanks to my TV service provider playing Musical Chairs with my TV Channels, I had to listen to the commentary of the match and see no video! :o
None the less, this was worth watching or rather.. listening to. Manchester United beat Barcalona FC 1-0 thanks to a trademark Scholes shot in the top corner! Nani could have finished the game in the first half if only.. :P
Doesn’t matter. We’re through and as far am I’m concerned, we’re already European Champions. We have a 100% record in the European finals and we will do it this time again. Liverpool would be easy work. Chelsea would be payback for this week’s defeat. :P
I have my SSOS viva tomorrow, which is the last for this sem. I had promised to wear my Man United jersey if we won 2-0 (blame Nani) but I’ll wear the Man United jersey inside my formal attire. I’ve been told we’re going to have a party after college tomorrow :D
On a side note, ever had a professor tell you “What am I supposed to ask you in your viva? Just sign the sheet and you can go”? :P Ever given a viva win which you’ve not been asked a single question and yet you got 22 (apparently)? :P
