Considering Politics, Culture And Nonsense Since 2009

This Afternoon

I will be working hard, and occasionally checking up on the Wall Street Journal's live blogging of the second leg of the Champions League matchup between Chelsea and Liverpool beginning at 2:45 PM EST. Chelsea won the first leg 3-1 (on the road) and so it looks like they will advance, barring a miracle. That's not to say that miracle comebacks have never been seen in Champions League play. I know someone who probably recalls wistfully AS Roma losing to Manchester United 7-1 (8-3 on agg) after beating them in the first leg 2-1 in the quarterfinal of 2006-07. Wow, that one hurt.

    Whoever it is you're referring to, I don't recall that either... But I once had a nightmare that Roma really did blow a glorious opportunity to dispatch Manchester United in Champions League elimination play, going down amidst a blaze of self-assured, smug Reds fans as Totti sat the bench...
