This past Tuesday, two soccer teams, Manchester United and Chelsea, played the UEFA Champions League final. The game was a very exciting game and it went into overtime and then into a penalty kick shootout. The match went pretty smoothly until the game went into overtime. Players were tired and tensions were high. Eventually, a fight broke out and one of the Chelsea players, Didier Drogba, slapped Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic across the face. He was promptly given a red card and sent off the field. The worst part of it all was that it was Didier Drogba’s last game for Chelsea. I guess he did a great job leaving his mark. Besides the fight, there was even more drama in the PK shootout. Chelsea was up by one in the shootout and the captain of the team, John Terry, was up to kick. All he had to do was put it in to win. In case you don’t know, a penalty kick is shot from 12 yards and the goalkeeper can’t move off the goal line. They are very difficult for a keeper to save and it should have been extremely easy. Terry got up to kick and not only did he miss the goal completely but he slipped on his butt. He seriously cried for about a half hour after losing the biggest competition in Europe for his team. Some people think you should feel sorry for him but I don’t. He is a huge jerk on the field and apparently spit on Manchester United player Carlos Tevez. However, I do have a burning hatred towards the entire Chelsea team so there is a little bit of personal bias in that statement. I mean seriously, Didier Drogba (the guy who slapped the Man U player) grabbed another guys crotch during the 2006 world cup. There were words exchanged and he walked past and grabbed Mark Van Bommel’s crotch. He also has greasy hair which is really gross.
