First of all what was Terry thinking while taking that penalty.It would have been hugely better off if kalou/essien had taken that penalty.If it is going to be your life's best moment then you better enjoy rather than try to be a hero.But one must add that terry had been heroic for most of the match if not the whole season.
The match started in a very cagey fashion.With neither side creating any openings till the 26th min when scholes and brown played a delightfull excange of passes,then brown put in a good cross that was headed in superbly by ronaldo.The goal seemed to better compose man u better and they started taking control of the midfield.They had an amazing chance later when rooney sent a superb cros field ball that ronaldo controlled well and set tevez up but cech was equal to the task and saved superbly twice in succession from tevez and then carrick.Tevez again had a great chance when hargeaves square was missed by every body.
But near the stroke of half time a hopefull essien shot was deflected and with van der sar caught in the wrong foot lampard finshed with superb composure.The second half was chelsea all the way the midfield trio of lampard ballack and makelele were controlling things well and chelsea were looking dangerous.The drogba shot in particular almost getting them the cup.Players were tiring now though after a loooooooong season and also due to the poor surface.Malouda had a decent penalty shout when ferdinand seemed to trip him but was waved off.Extra time brought a superb chelsea move with cole and ballack setting lampard up whose turn and shot let van der sar rooted but it came off the post.Giggs then had a chance of his own with evra fantastic run and cross but terry was on hand to smother the attack.A petty argument then started over putting the ball out leading to drogba getting himself sent off stupidly.
Down to penalties ronaldo being his usual showy self missed it while terry unfortunately slipped when he could have won the cup for chelsea.Anelka then missed to give Manu 6-5 win in the penalties.
Felt sorry for chelsea,pissed off at manu and overall am depressed
