Soccer is like WWF....so fake...

haha...judge from the title...the critics gonna comment once again...are major soccer matches, like the champions league final early this morning, all fixed? Think about it...judging from the large amount of money pumped in on these matches worldwide..be it legal or illegal...i personally think that they are...though not all games...

based on yesterday's match (maybe it's just my imagination) i shall tell you why...first of all, liverpool..being the 'black horse' that has landed in the 2005 finals...they were obviously the underdog to lift the trophy in Istanbul (Turkey)....so, i can say that the majority of soccer punters (bettors) are on Milan's side...afterall they have all the champion-players...some even won with the club in the same tournament 2 years back...in the likes of Schevcenko (European Footballer of the year 2005), Seedorf..Kaka..Maldini...there is simply no way that they can lose to a team that 'never walk alone'...

okay...putting that aside...before the match even kicked off...i think only liverpool's fans were having their money on their fav team of course...okie...maybe some others minority that thinks that the merseysiders can defy the odds...

with the boat heavy towards AC Milan...the match kicked off...and Maldini scored in the very 1st minute from a Pirlo's freekick...Milan takers were laughing with their jaws on the ground when Crespo added 2 more before the 45 mininute mark...everyone tot liverpool was over...with their defence with loopholes...and steven gerrard in the 'hidings'...

*this part is purely my own judgement* 如有雷同 纯属巧合 *
this is the curcial point when match fixing could actually come into play...a halftime handicap given to liverpool?!?!? (meaning milan [- 1/2 ball] for the 2nd half)...judging from the form they were having...they could easily score a few more in the 2nd half...so..with this market opened...many that had previously place their money on the Reds would want to cut loss or even win and so...placed money on AC on the halftime odds??? maybe...could be...

then, the drama began...3 goals for liverpool in 6 minutes (54th to 60th)...and this would be the 1st sweep....bookies were grinning from ear to ear already...those that betted on AC at half time had already lost it almost for sure...

the next half an hour was exciting....viewers sweating palms and head and anywhere that can sweat...the AC supporters (in terms of betting) from the very start were suffering from heart attacks...strokes...and whatever they had...seeing every effort that failed to pay off....Schevcenko's endless good runs all saved by the floppy Dudek...and the hardworking Carragher...and Stevie G working hard to prevent crosses from the right flank....

the moment came when Andrei Schevcenko's strike in the late 80-something minute was saved by Dudek and so was his follwoing up...even when dudek was still on the ground...it marked the end of the 90 minutes...and soccer bettors (mostly) either lost on AC or won on Pool but lost on AC at 2nd half...see the irony....only pple that support liverpool with their money throughout the entire game won....and of coz...the bookies.....

the remaining of the extra time was just an extended battle as when money is concerned...most were done for the good of the 幕后黑手s....interesting..went into penalties and Dudek-the flop..who hadn't been performing in the match until the very late was the hero of the night....he saved abt 2 shots...and saw one flew over the post....and this the how liverpool created history....amazing it is....remarkable performance from the Reds...esp Gerrard and Carragher....Those that saw the match would have to agree with me for these 2 unsang heros...(more for Carragher i guess) wasn't him just everywhere on the field last night?!?!?

haha...think i can start a column in newpaper for after match analysis of possible fixed matches le....haha...maybe if GP has an essay topic that says "Modern soccer matches are money making machines and no longer just sport" Comment....

think i will definitely score an A for that....haha....and even more true..i would keep asking for more papers coz i had endless examples....lolz

that'z all for today...din go to work today..coz woke up with a headache...and hangover from the unacceptable reality of the darkness behind soccer....that'z why i quitted soccer bettin months or a year ago...coz i can't understand and make use of the 'power from the drak side'

'May the force be with you'....
