Liverpool just won the Carling Cup final, playing against Cardiff. the 
score was 1-1 at full time. Extra time of fifteen minutes each way was 
played, resulting in a 2-2 score line.

It went to penalties. Cardiff scored twice, Liverpool scored three times.

First bit of silverware LFC have won for something like 6 years.

Everyone here has a wide smile.

Just about everyone I know is a LFC supporter. My mate an his dad are 
both marshals at home games at Anfield Park.

There are probably as many supporters of Everton around here (the *other* 
Liverpool team) and many Manchester United fans, too (Man. U. is probably 
the biggest sporting franchise in the world).

See Steve Gerrard smile:

Yup. I've seen matches that have ended in a 0-0 draw which were far more 
exciting to watch than, say, a 5-1 trouncing for one or the other.

I think that concept would be difficult for most Americans to grasp.

Sorry to say but I am a MU fan. Good on LFC and happy for you that you won. LFC at 
one time was the team to reckon with and might be again if they get the right 
manager.

Reminds me of a joke I heard once about an Englishman at a football match 
between Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers.

Unfortunately, it has to be listened to rather than read.

My mate (the guy who was in Afghanistan recently) used to get me to drive 
past Old Trafford every day on the way out of Manchester any time we 
worked over there just so he could spit at the ground as we went past.

If you saw the pictures he took while in Afghanistan, you'll notice that 
a couple of them contain him and some of his mates wearing Liverpool 
shirts.

Oh, I don't know- now that Kenny Dalglish has led them to this cup win 
this season, I think next season will be even better.

Well, most of you USAians just can't wrap your head around 'the beautiful 
game'. As a famous former Liverpool manager, Bill Shankley, said about 
the game, 'It's not a matter of life and death- it's more important than 
that'.

:-)

When two teams play in a cup final and the scores are equal after ninety 
minutes, they then play fifteen minutes each way. If, at the end of this 
further thirty minutes of play the scores are still level, then it goes 
to penalties.

Each team may take turns at kicking the ball at the goal from the penalty 
spot for a total of five goes each. If, at the end of this penalty 
session the scores are *still* level, it goes to 'sudden death'.

The teams take turns taking penalties and the first team to score wins 
the match, and thus the cup.

Yesterday it became more tense right up to the final kick. The Cardiff 
goalie *had* to save the shot, the Liverpool player *had* to score, as 
both teams had previously scored two goals each during this stage.

As I said- nail-biting stuff right to the end.

Well, I think anybody who enjoys a good game can relate to that.  I've 
watched hockey games before that were really interesting, and I had no 
earthly idea what was going on.

The only game I couldn't tolerate was cricket.  We went over to St. 
David's island when I was living in Bermuda to see a cricket match and 
honestly, it was the most boring thing I'd ever seen.

Yes it was. We lost, but it was a good close game. I was automatically 
entered in a pool at work. I had NY 9 and NE 2 so I needed that safety. 
If NY had something9 and NE had something2 at the end of any quarter I 
would win. I missed by seconds - twice!

I know what you mean - it can be very boring to watch, particularly when 
the viewer doesn't really understand the game.  (And can be boring to 
watch even when the viewer does understand the game.)

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in 
the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next 
man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out 
comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those 
coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, 
and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. 
There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they 
decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and 
all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all 
the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end 
of the game!

Understand it now :-)

Sounds like it.  The last time I got excited about a game was many
years ago it was the NFL playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and
the Houston Oilers played January 3, 1993.  Known as 'The Comeback".
I was sooooo pissed!
