Just when it looked like Man U was dead in the water, the Red Devils raised up like the Phoenix from the ashes of their own self-destruction. Man U pulled a rabbit out of their hat and scored a huge 3-2 come from behind win over AC Milan.

This was a huge win baby. These three away goals will surely kill AC Milan’s chances of advancing in the Champions League but anything is possible. So don’t count your chickens before they are hatched.

Super Brasilian head case Ronaldinho served notice that AC Milan was not going to take any crap from the boys from Old Trafford.

Ronaldinho knocked home a brilliant free kick from mate David Beckham in the 3^rd minute.

Beckham nailed the free kick right to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho one timed the shot. It went wham bam right off of Man U defender Michael Carrick. Red Devils keeper Edwin van der Sar never had a chance.

AC Milan kept up the pressure on the fragile Man U defense.

Man U was able to keep the mounting pressure at bay until lady luck shown on the boys from Old Trafford.

Darren Fletcher fired a wicked low cross into the AC Milan goal crease. Paul Scholes stuck his leg out. Buda Bing Buda boom, it was all knotted at one all in the 36^th minute.

Man U was thoroughly out played in the first half.

Enter the second half and oh, what a relief it is.

The Rooney man, Wayne Rooney hit for the daily double to end AC Milan’s hopes of winning in their house.

Valencia whipped a cross into the goal area. Wayne Rooney showed some serious hops, He out leaped AC Milan defender Daniele Bonera. Rooney’s header went flying past the helpless keeper Dida to give Man U a 2-1 lead in the 65^th minute.

Rooney ripped the twines in the 74^th minute to take the starch out of AC Milan.

Rooney’s goal was the result of a sublime counter attack by Man U. Zoom-zoom Darren Fletcher goes flying down the other end of the pitch. Rooney gained the needed separation from Milan defense. And just like that, it was 3-1 Man U.

AC Milan scores a cosmetic goal in the 85^thminute by Clarence Seedorf.

The final score Man U 3 and AC Milan 2.

This was the first goal Man U has scored at AC Milan in many a moon.

Now what did I say about the fake Ronaldo being a wimp when it comes to nut cutting time. He didn’t show up against the French side Lyon.

Cristiano Ronaldo miss fired all match long. 

Jeez maybe he should join the masons.

Real Madrid lost to Lyon 1-0 on French soil.
Jean Makoun fired home the only goal of the match in the 47^th minute.

Now let’s hope Arsenal scores against Porto on Wednesday.

We need the goals guys.

Go get em Gunners.

This is one of those lag kinda days. Not much happening. Once Saturday arrives, all kinds of great futebol will be played. The FIFA World Club Cup finals and the EPL is back in action as well.

Once again, I would like to thank the fine sponsors of my blog Sports Memorabilia, Luci Now Com-E cigarettes, and my newest one The Sports Authority- the nation’s preeminent full-line sporting goods chain.

Messi and the boys will take on Argentinos side Estudiantes in the World Club Cup Finals. On paper, Barca has all the talent. The Catalans have the Golden Ball winner Messi, Brasilian Danny Alves, Pedro Rodriguez, Xavi, and Thierry Henry. This is enough to put the fear of God into any side.

This is the team that kicked Man U’s butts in the 2009 Champions League Final. Barca made the fake Ronaldo look silly.

I am sorry but the pundits and the useful media idiots think Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest player since sliced bread. Not.

For surely when it is nut-cutting time, the fake Ronaldo does a Houdini. He quits. The fake Ronaldo is a good regular season player but when the match is on the line, he plays like a girl.

Enough said.

I think it was a shock that Estudiantes won the Copa Title. Estudiantes beat the Brasilian side Cruzeiro 2-1 on aggregate. Both sides played to a nil-nil draw at Estudiantes house Cidade de La Plata. The Argentine side shocked the Brasilians winning in Cruzeiro’s house in Belo Horizonte 2-1.

I was shocked too. I thought that Cruzeiro was going to win but hey crazy things happen in the  futebol world.

The Los Pincharratas (The Rat Stabbers) have Leandro Benitez, Juan Veron, Maximiliano Perez, and Mauro Boselli that can cause fits for Barca.

The key match up will be midfielder Juan Veron verses Lionel Messi. If Veron can at least somewhat control Messi, Estudiantes will have a chance to beat Barcelona.

For all you history buffs, the Catalans have been to this dance twice and each time Barcelona has lost. 

Will the Catalans make it an O for three?

I won’t bet on it.

But remember this, Barcelona is a tired squad. They have played a boatload of matches. The Catalans are discovering what Man U discovered last year. It is really hard to play in the FIFA World Club Cup Championship, Champions League, and fight to win a domestic title all in the same year.

Then add on top of that defend your Champions League crown when every side in Europe wants to kick your butt and send you home packing.

They want to embarrass you.
