I think it was a bad game from Chelsea. For the first hour their defense made so many mistakes, allowing Liverpool to profit from it. This is very evident in the second goal.\n\nThe first goal should not have been, as Terry kicked the ball away. The free kick was an incorrect decision. That being said, Chelsea did not deal with it properly and the players avoided the ball rather than blocking it.\n\nIn the last 30 minutes Chelsea played well and put Liverpool under so much pressure. However Liverpool have withstood Chelsea's pressure before.\n\nIn the end I think a draw would have been fair, but Liverpool deserved to win (not on their own merit), but because Chelsea made life so hard on themselves with all the mistakes.\n\n\nAnd to answer the previous comments. Jose Mourinho was spot on in his post match interview. He might have been a bit harsh on Liverpool but it was obvious he knew his team had played poorly early on. Like I said, the first goal did not do his team justice as Chelsea had bossed the game up until then. \n\nAnd Chelsea do not suck. They are top of the table for a reason, and would still be in the champions league if Del Horno had not been sent off in the first leg. They will soon win their second consecutive Premiership trophy. They are 15 points ahead of Liverpool and the league shows how good a team really is. You can have one bad game in a cup and get knocked out, but in the league it shows who the best team is.

Hope you don't mind me answering your Q. Yes Italy improved greatly today and performed more like the side we expect them to be. Luca is very talented. Great asset to Italy. Ukraine did not play to their potential today and I think lack of big game experience v Italy's experience in the situation came through. Well onto the next round for you. Good Luck.

Hi Andy!!!!\n\nBRING HIM BACK!!!!!!!! During the World Cup I saw this saying that I felt was very fitting.... IN GUUS WE TRUST!!! What he did for Australian Soccer was incredible.\n\nWish Adelaide United luck for tonight... I'm going to the game against Victory!!!! ROMARIO & KOSMINA VS. MUSCAT!!!!\n\nJust got home from the game... What a joke!!!!!! Bajic got red carded in the 13th minute for kicking Fred downstairs!!! That was a shocking game for United. I feel so sorry for Romario... he's trying so hard to score!!! AND will Veart ever retire - I'll pay his pention if I have to!!

yes i did it was a good game. Wilson Betimit(sp) and Scott thurman(sp) made to great plays and that sucks that Smoltz and another pitcher from the braves(forgot his name) were injured but Villareal pitched very well and there bullpen only gave up 1 run which is awesome. Hopefully the bullpen can keep that up. Go Braves!!! \n\nThat was pretty funny when A. Jones took a tumble going for the catch, good thing Edgar was there to make the catch.

More of a fitness boost and tactical viewing by Sven in my opinion. See how the players work together, for me it was before the match and after the match a pre-tournament friendly.\n\nI know what Sven is doing, just getting past the first round to get into the Quarters to turn up the heat.\n\nAs for the game itself, i think he had it on the nail. Our attacking chances were excellent, even if we didnt score (thanks, Paraguayan bloke) but we got the win and thats good.

I was there and couldn't believe it! What a great game, I'm a neutral, and couldn't believe my eyes when Eastwood scored that amazing free kick!\n\nDon't get me wrong, i'm not saying Man. U. didn't play well, they just didn't play to their full potential!\n\nBut at least the underdogs won, C'mon southend!

Croatia played extremely well and have areas they can and will improve on and for that reason alone I don't think we have see Croatia play to their maximum ability. They definitely appeared more committed to the game than the Brazilians and often had them worried I believe.They will have learnt a lot today and will take many positives with them from their game V's Brazil. Many reasons are being offered for the lack lustre performance of Brazil, but we will have to wait and see what eventuates.\n\nI hope nothing great eventuates when they play the Socceroo's...lol\nGo Australia.. we are all so proud of you.

I'm very pleased my Sabres shut out the hated flyers 3-0 at home, but I'm not entirely certain they'll thrash them again in loathsome philistinia. I'm hoping we can wrap this up in six games but it may require a return trip to Buffalo where I am dead certain we would annihilate them in game seven. I'll keep you posted about who they would play in the next round as soon as they advance (hopefully Tuesday).\n\nGO SABRES!!!

Yes they truly are champions especially in defeat. Very very sad to see it end the way it did. But we have so much to look forward to and on with the Asian Cup and qualifiers for 2010. \nWell who will I support now. Dilemma!!! I have long followed the Italian football side but my heart and soul were with the Aussies and always will be. I lost respect for some of the Italian players last night. They defended brilliantly and in the end that is what really won the game, but some true personalities came out this morning as they were pushed by the Aussies and it wasn't nice. So now I am rethinking the whole issue. Not because we were beaten, to me we weren't, but because I thought they would be above the fake foul syndrome invading the game. I am impressed with Germany so It will be the German or Italian teams in the end that I follow now.\n\nAddition:\nA few hours later my decision is made. Germany. Italian fans have changed my mind with cocky, nasty attitudes and comments. Ungracious, Sore winners are not something I like to be involved with.

Let alone 2 blatant penalties to Australia.\nI believe the Sydney Swans are trying to sign up the guy that took Viduka out (at about 6 minutes), as it was the best AFL tackle they had ever seen.\nThe second was a deliberate handball by Tomas who was already on a yellow card at that stage of the match. Should have been a penalty as well as a red card.\nAnd wtf happened at the end of the match, as far as I could see the ball went into the Croation goal. Result should have been 3 -2 to Australia (or more).

far much better than the first of their games...\nRonaldinho was Ok, didnt give his all....\nOverall.. a good team effort...\nBut as before... Ronaldo is Finished... he must go back to the Amazon.. buy a big boat and start fishing... may be then he can lose some weight in the hot and humid rain forest...
