Beautiful Football
No I am not going to start supporting Barcelona but it has been a long time since I have seen any team play like that, in a champions league final no less. I remembered the 1998/99 Bayern Munich outplaying Man U like that and that was what Barca did yesterday. Man U was left chasing air for most of the game and the way Barca strokes the ball around is just plain beauty; it was like a training session.
I had this fear before Barca scored the second goal to seal the match. It seemed like deja vu; like Man U was going to score 2 in injury time again and beat the better team. It was so sad that the classy Bayern lost that night when they were taunting, swaggering and laughing for 90mins before losing to 2 last grasp goals. And history looked like it was going to happen again. Fortunately, it did not and the better team won.
Which also had me realising nobody can have their way forever. I had an ominous feeling Man U was going to win, again. So ominous I decided to bet on a full time draw and I was glad I wasted my 10 dollars. My friend used to say this while playing Risk, "The dice rolls will even themselves out after awhile." And I think last night, the dice was evened out.
