Brilliant finish. The dude has actually restored some interest in this tournament for me.

"why not kick it??" by heading the ball so low, even if he did manage to get it going the other way, Riise has just put himself out of the game. A defender on the ground right in front of his own net???? wow!! now that's good decision making *rolls eyes* Finnegan seems to have a high regard for Liverpool defenders..maybe Rafa should take up the back line...whattayouthink?

I figured as much but definitely wanted to rule out injury this close to the Euro. Thanks for the update Laurie. I figured as much but definitely wanted to rule out injury this close to the Euro.

They've tried Anelka as a winger and it hasn't worked out well. From what I've read, Chelseea has promised to switch to 4-4-2 next year to utilize two strikers on the field at once. Of course, rumors that Drogba is leaving this summer are also rampant, so let's cross our fingers that Anelka will be either one of two or THE striker next year.

The ball was coming off of a pretty low bounce, and Riise made a decision to head instead of kick it. Was he thinking it'd be safer to knock it out with his head? Whatever it was, it didn't work very well for him.
