Early this morning, I caught the champions league game between Manchester United and Roma. Man Utd fashionably whacked Roma 7 goals in style. They were aggressive right from the start closing Roma down quickly and challenging for every ball. Heinze and brown played magnificently well in defence and credit to Rooney, Smith, Ronaldo and Carrick too. It was a night were passes were pin point and shooting was accurate. It ranks up together with the nights where United beat Real Madrid 4-3 at home.

But the score also represents a night of 'kelong' in soccer. 7-1? Total goals 8, I wonder how much the payout is. After the whistle, the Roma players must have been gleaming with joy inside their hearts. I always knew Manchester United would win the 2nd leg, esp after I saw Paul Scholes dying to get a red card in the first leg. Barely 30min into the first game, Scholes was ferociously tackling players as if he wanted to get send off. He must have known that the 2nd leg will be bribed in favour of United otherwise why would he want to miss the 2nd leg. Since he knew United would win last night, he therefore got a red card to clear off his suspension.

Also, Chelsea won 2-1 last night thanks to a last min goal from essien. Too good to be true? U bet. God knows how much money the goalkeeper and defenders took from Abramovich. Soccer today is sadly all about money. It is no longer a sport but a movie entertainment. Fifa does not control the soccer world, Ladbrokes live betting is the new Fifa. What a superficial world we live in again.
