IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT oVERPAID NANCY BOYS in flashy new stadiums, continental nets for goalposts.
How you can make a call out of that I never know.
You could argue:
a: It was a penalty (essein clearly contacted giggs)
b: Giggs fould cech
c: The ball went over the line so goal
There was no way a ref could have made a call, and whether giggs fouled cech is again very debatable as it was through being tripped that he fell into Cech, but he also one the ball then careered into cech. Had cech been an outifeld player I think it wouldn't be a foul, but as it was a keeper I think most refs would give a foul.
Anyway all academic. Poor game, nothing between the 2 teams, as the premier league showed. As ever when the 2 big teams meet the occassion/tactics just get the better of the game and a poor game results.
It annoys me when people say that it was the new Wembley's first final....the week before Stevenage came from 2 down to defeat Kidderminster 3-2 and thus win the FA Trophy.....and today mighty Morecambe defeated Exeter 2-1 there to win promotion to the foooootball league.....much better the lower down you go.
