ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY

He is left out of the PFA premier league team of the year that are filled by an amazing 8 United players. And this season has been about Ronaldo, tonight he shows us that we should never ever forget about him. Wayne Rooney shoot down the Italian. on the dying minute at OT to cap off an impressive display of European football from both side.

Watching it here in indo at 1.45am means its 3.40am when Rooney scored the winning goal on the injury time, and that means all the human in my house is off to lalaland. and its surreal to see a winning goal on the last min from such a thrilling match and not allow to scream from the top of ur oxigen sucking organ, i tell u that. instead a instant reaction from me is running around circling my living room while waving both my hand around like mad. Im pretty sure if my maid happen to be awake and see me doing that she will be suspecting me of doing some kind of voodoo ritual.

This is certainly one of the best performance by MU, having conceded 2 rather sloppy goals in the 1st half after scoring one as early as the 5th minute they let Milan gain control of the game. the injury hit defence is really struggling to get hold of the Italian strike force, especially the irresistible Kaka, 2 chance 2 goals. going 2-1 down on 1st half at home is bad news and United came out for the 2nd half looking as though they might just lye down and let the Italian walk away with a win. Then 15min into it and they found the composure and patience, and thats when all the deadly flowing football that has been their trademark all season long came, one touch passing changing from side to side, from Ronaldo to Giggs they tried to run at the Italians, Scholes and Carrick eyeing opening from the middle and Fletcher providing cover and the occasional penetrating run. On the 59th min, after a few neat one touch short pass just outside the penalty box, the ball found the feet of Paul Scholes, one sublime chip, found the feet of Rooney, one shot, found the inside of the net.

Then United keep pressing and pressing and forced a few fantastic safe out of Dida, and then it looked like it will end in a draw, en a few fans were seen starting to leave. A counter attack is on when the ball is with Giggsy, he run half the length of the field and then released a finely timed pass to the feet of Rooney, with still one defender in front of him, Rooney let go a blazing shot still outside of the box without trying to lose the one defender, the shot caught Dida by surprised, and I'm running like a chicken losing its head around my living room.............

and goes the chant around OT...ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY.................
