Jolly Green Giant!!

I really could have cared less who won that game yesterday, but it was really cool to the former Ajacied and current Oranje keeper come through in the clutch like that. When you look back at the 37 year old's PK track record (loosing in 95-96 with Ajax in the CL final and twice with the national side), its especially nice to see him do well in that situation. Today he is being called a hero, and honestly I can't really disagree. None of the other United players really deserve that title after the putrid second half and extra- time performance they put in and Var der Sar made a couple of brilliant saves during the match to limit Chelsea to one goal. And your heart just has to go out to poor John Terry, that is just the peak of suckdom.

Is it pathetic that I got a little giddy when the ESPN announcers mentioned Ajax when they were talking about Seedorf and Van der Sar? Its is isn't it....I have problems...
