I'm still waiting for his ban from the Man City thread, btw... Mods... help.
As for the thread, easy choice for me:
So many things about this game that I would change. I think people were easily distracted by how rigged this game actually was because it was such a miraculous incident, and because it was an English team back in the days of Italian domination, just made it so much worse.
1) Before Pool's 2nd goal, the linesman had flagged offside while Liverpool had possession, and for some reason the referee simply waved away the flag and allowed Pool to play on. About a minute later, Smicer scores (albeit Dida's a ******* git and should've had it, but what can you do).
2) Gerrard's dive winning the penalty for the 3-3. And people tend to finger Italians for diving. Classic.
3) Shevchenko managing to hit Dudek twice in extra time with the whole goal gaping at him (7:49ish of the video). I cringe every time I watch that.
4) Dudek taking about 3 steps forward on Pirlo's penalty. I know Juve fans are gonna call me a hypocrite because Dida did similar **** in 2003, but to that I say **** you all .
5) Sheva's penalty. Worst penalty he's ever taken at such a crucial time.
