Nemanja Vidic may have been a bit busy with a Champions League semifinal of his own a few weeks back, but he should have been paying a little attention to the other one as well. Before the second leg of the semi between Chelsea and Liverpool, Rafa Benitez lashed out at Didier Drogba with [...]

“Quarantine” for British fans Heading to Moscow?
By: Laurie | 2 Comments
Last month before the France-England friendly in Paris, I had the thrill of being sardined into a Metro train heading out to the stadium as several drunken English fans launched into off-key renditions of, among other things, “God Save the Queen.”
It’s a good thing the ride was short, because by the time we got to [...]
Category: Champions LeagueFootball is the New Diplomacy as Ticket = Visa in Moscow
By: Daryl | No Comments
Remember how the Champions League Final was going to be a nightmare because it takes so long to get a Russian visa?

Chelsea 1 - Liverpool 1
If you don’t know how the score got that way you must’ve been in a coma for the last ten days. Either that or you’re a part of the Riise family and still in denial.
