Ovrebo, not Iniesta who stopped Chelsea from reaching Champions League final

Tom Ovrebo

Don't be fooled. It wasn't Iniesta who prevented Chelsea from winning the match against Barcelona. It was Tom Ovrebo, the *&#@* referee. Personally, before the match I thought Barcelona was going to win it. I believed the hype that newspapers were spreading that Barcelano were playing football from the gods. I started watching the match as a neutral. I didn't actually mind who won. But as the game progressed, I was impressed how Chelsea held back Barca and actually had the better chances of the match. And they would have been at least 2 goals up if not for Ovrebo. Ovrebo's lack of courage to award Chelsea the penalty(s?) cost Chelsea the match when Iniesta scored in added time. I went into the game as a neutral, but by the end of the game, I felt the rage Chelsea fans would've felt towards the referee for denying Chelsea the match. This Tom Ovrebo guy should stick to being a psychologist and never referee a football match ever again.

Potter and Messi


Just watched the new Harry Potter movie, and I think it's a solid continuation of the last one. It's more focused this time around. Right off the bat, it's about Voldermort, with the lighter macigky stuff being put as a side story. And some cool new characters were introduced too, like Nymphadora Tonks played by the newcomer Natalia Tena, who is hot, by the way (why else would I mention her out of the all other new characters). And like most movies, the fight scene at the end of the movie was awesome. It looks as if they put most their special effects money on that fight scene, because there are some parts of the movie where the special effects looked cheap, but still better than the effects from the first movie. Harry Potter movies ain't all about special effects, the movie is mainly for kids, but there's enough depth to the story that adults can actually enjoy it without the need to turn off their brains.


Apart from the movie itself, another awesome thing that I saw today was Loinel Messi's goal against Mexico today. After watching that goal I had to clean the walls because it blew my brains out. The moment he chipped that ball, my brain went, "no way... No Way", then it happened, the ball went in, and my brain exploded. Argentina meet Brazil in the finals, my bet is on Argentina.

AC Milan Wins Champions League

AC Milan beat Liverpool 2-1 to win the Champions League. w00t! The pundits who know what they're talking about, all said that Liverpool is going take the trophy. I myself was worried that Milan won't make it. Throughout the game they looked very vulnerable. Inzhaghi is the man tonight scoring both of Milan's goals. Kaka didn't have much room to do anything dangerous.

Liverpool played better but they lost. I guess this makes up for the time when Milan played better but lost to Liverpool 2 years ago. All is well in football land. The balance has been restored.

The match itself wasn't very entertaining. However, Milan's form towards the end of the season has really been amazing. One player that has really been in from is Seedorf. Previously, he was kicking around aimless passes, but suddenly he starts scoring goals. This season, he was in the best form I've ever seen him in.

I would've loved to see a Milan-Chelsea final where Schevchenko scores an own goal and his former Milan teammates celebrate with him. That would've a sight. The best matches this season in my opinion was the Milan-Man United matches.

Milan winning the Champions League this season makes the chances of them winning the next one very low. I think they'll manage get to the semis next season. Maybe they can get the Scudetto too next season. Juventus will also be back next year, so Serie A will be restored to normalcy.
