Pompey fought the gallant fight but in the end Chelsea’s superior firepower, won the FA Cup in a thrilling 1-0 win.
Chelsea had the most scoring chances but the Blues couldn’t pull the trigger until Didier Drogba’s deadly free kick from twenty yards out was squeezed between Portsmouth keepers David James out stretched hand the right post in the 59th minute.
Prior to Drogba’s deadly strike Pompey had a golden chance to spin the match on its head but Kevin-Prince-Boateng’s PK was stone cold stopped by Blues keeper Petr Cech in the 56th minute.
Wham bam just like that in a span of three minutes the match was twisted on its ear and the Blues stuck a fork in Pompey’s dream of winning the FA Cup.
Portsmouth is broke and given the heave-hoe all in one season, yet this was a glorious run by the foreclosed side.
The money made from reaching the FA Cup might help the bankrupt Pompey.
Frank Lampard had a chance to increase the Blues lead in the 89th minute but Portsmouth keeper David James said “No way Jose” and shut em down.
Way to go garoto.
All in all Chelsea was in complete control of the match from beginning to end.
The Blues achieved the daily double winning the EPL and FA Cup titles.
Trust me when I say this Chelsea is heading down the backside of forty. This means Drogba and the boys are getting older. Their window of opportunity is rapidly closing.
They need to bring in younger players to replace the fading stars.
The “Special One” Jose Mourinho brought Drogba and the rest in but the management has not found replacements for them.
Mourinho is good a winning titles with other peoples talent but his ability to build a championship squad stinks.
This is not Mourinho’s strong suit.
Man U had a down year by their standards but remember the Red Devils lost the fake Ronaldo and few other players. The mighty boys from Old Trafford played a very young squad.
Watch out EPL!
My guys from Arsenal are in the same boat. We were besieged by injuries. Younger guys such as Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott, and Carlos Vela were asked to step in big time to replace RVP and Cesc Fabregas who were hit by the injury bug.
My Gunners will be ready next year to win the title as well.
Flamengo battles Vitoria later today.
Lets hope Rubro-Negro doesn’t stink the joint out on the road in Salvador.
I wouldn’t bet on it.
Mengao is in shambles.
