OK, while figuring out just how the Eagles will manage to screw up this off-season, and whether Bradford really is worth an early first-round pick, I've had to occupy myself by watching an actual sport....and the Winter Olympics just don't count.
Lampard's goal was a pretty, classic, textbook goal. A thing of elegant beauty....which was rudely followed not 3 minutes later by Tevez's hilarious goal. I mean, I was in shock, and that doesn't often happen in sports. The whole thing started with a desperate clearing attempt by Manchester City, who by the way, was being bombarded 14-2 in shots on goal in the first half. So the ball gets to around midfield when I see what I assume to be a midfielder for Chelsea head the ball badly and the thing goes backwards?! No biggie, after all, there's only one Manchester City guy up that far since all the rest of the 9 mobile players are hunkered down in prevent mode around their goalie rolling rosary beads between their fingers. I mean seriously, those guys were getting killed! Well the one guy up that far is Tevez who proceeds to take the ball in one of the few one on threes I can recall seeing. For some reason one of the defenders stayed on his outside, while the other went in. Tevez literally jukes the inside defender completely out of the way, and in so doing has also managed to make the outside defender all but irrelevant, cuts back hard for the middle and GOAL!!? What that goal lacked in elegance it more than made up for in sheer holy %^@$#ness!
Not that's not a bad start to a Saturday morning.
