May 22, 2008; A Double Year for United!

Yesterday night, the second game of our best-of-three championship commenced. It started pretty late at around 8:30 in the evening. The game was pretty close during the first 2 quarters. Actually, we led by one at the end of the first half. But the third quarter I think made the difference. Our counterparts had a big run and they led by as many as sixteen. But, we managed to hold on and we had our own run to cut the deficit to one. But, i think they were the better team yesterday. They held on to win by 11 points. I scored eight points yesterday, but that wasn't enough. So there. We finished as the bridesmade's, while our opponents were declared the champions. It's ok, were all friends. Haha!

And for soccer news, the Manchester United Football Club defeated the Chelsea Football Club, 6-5 by penalties, to win the coveted UEFA Champions League trophy, much to the delight of the Reds' fans who went to the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia to witness the crowning of the new champions. Sir Alex Ferguson, the first team coach of Man Utd, expressed his delight as his boys delivered a fantastic final game, especially to goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar, who saved the goal kick from Nicolas Anelka of the Blues. Chelsea's captain John Terry also missed in the shootout, with which would have won for them. During the normal playing time, Cristiano Ronaldo of the Reds scored a header during the first half, before Frank Lampard scored a goal during the injury time. The win made a double year for Manchester United, first by winning the Barclay's Premier League trophy a week ago, and now, the UEFA Champions League trophy. And after the match during the press conference, Cristiano Ronaldo ended all speculations the he will transfer to Real Madrid by telling everyone that he will be staying at Old Trafford for the Reds.
