VICTORY!!!

Today, my favorite football team Liverpool FC was playing AC Milan for the European Champions League title - basically the continent's greatest title for club teams, a pan-European Super Bowl so to speak...

I didn't have the only Norwegian TV channel to show the game, so I followed it by real-time text comments online. By half time Milan was kicking British ass left and right and held a 3-0 lead, so I kind of zoned out, thinking it was a done deal... BUT... then... Liverpool managed to rally for a miraculous seven minutes to come back and make three goals... something I find out only after I thought the game was over and my team beaten. So I leave the net and start flipping channels like a madman.

You see, I have a satellite dish that takes in hundreds of channels from all over the world. I have Kurdish folk music, I have Arab-language phone sex commercials, I have Chinese communist propaganda and tons more. So I figured somewhere in all this madness, there HAD to be someone showing the game. And finally, on #686, I find it - on a Slovenian channel! I managed to see the last ten minutes of the extra time (no goals) AND the penalty contest that followed... where LIVERPOOL WON!!!

*chants*

COME ON YOU REDS! COME ON YOU REDS!

I'm ecstatic... nay euphoric! It's been so long since Liverpool won anything much and now they've gone and taken the European title... *sniffles*

Now if only they would get their act together and win the English championship next year - that's the one that really matters to us true fans... *nods*
