But Ronaldo missing a penalty? WTF?

Maybe it'll deflate his ego a little?

I have no love for Chelsea, but man it was heartbreaking looking at John Terry's face at the end of the match.

I have no love for either of them, but realised as we came into extra time that I seemed to have a slight preference for Man U. I do feel sorry for Terry, but if Anelko hadn't missed too it could have been Ronaldo who was just as gutted: you could see he was feeling pretty emotional about it all too.

It's interesting that the football field is one of the rare places where men can openly hug each other for comfort as well as celebration, and express real heartfelt emotion without being mocked for it.

Great match to watch.
