Man United vs AS Roma

UEFA Champions League - Group Stage - Matchday 2

Date : 2/10/2007 (3/10/2007 2:30am Malaysia time)
Result : Man United 1 - 0 AS Roma (Goal by Wayne Rooney 70')

Much anticipated match tonight by United supporters and football followers everywhere. Did Red Devils stemrolled Roma again tonight? The answer is "No"...but once again AS Roma left Old Trafford defeated, only this time minus the embarrasment like their last visit in April when United scored 7 goals to 1 during last season's 2nd leg quarter final.

I'm not gonna give a highlight of the match coz I'm terrible at writing football reviews or even to give proper terms to describe the match. So I'll leave it to the sport columnists to do their job :) however I'd like to share few facts with you guys:

Fact 1:
I watched the match online using SopCast as I had to multitasking...watching football, updating flickr, reply emails bla bla bl...OK actually my ASTRO is barred coz I haven't pay the bill yet hahahaha. That was the only reason for watching football from a small screen with lousy streaming quality :(

Fact 2:
It was a boring first half for me coz both team played it safe. I dozed off for few seconds during the match. Blame it on the nasi lemak I ate earlier. Even the strong Kluang Station coffee can't prevent me from falling asleep.

Fact 3:
Rooney scored during second half with a wonderful reverse shot just after Ronaldo's goal was called off as referee blew the whistle for offside.

Fact 4:
United had used all the subs during this match so they played with 10 men after Ronaldo left the pitch with blood splurged from the cut near his eye.

Fact 5:
I miss Italy team whenever I saw Totti on screen...can't wait for the next world cup! Why can't we have the cup yearly? *Sigh*

I'll try to find the highlight from YouTube later...Signing off for now! Chanting Glory Glory Man United all the way to bed.
