what a semi-final!!!!Blackburn Rovers showed why they deserved to be in the semis.the way they played and created chances,chelsea were just left guessing.sure,lampard did score earlier but chelsea hardly looked convincing until after roberts' equaliser.and then a sitter by ballack and v have a mouth watering chelsea-manu final.all praises to rovers though!!!!they were the underdogs yet looked like the better team at times.
but one thing i wud like to ask is "what was shevchenko doing"..wasting oppurtinities by the dozen.only when kalou and sean-wright came on did chelsea start to look that they cud finish the match before penalties and that is just what happened.frankly speaking i was a bit scared when drogba had that ankle injury.
i'll be interested in hearing your take on the match also.

Hoory!Ballack definnitely is man of the match.Blackburn Rovers were not easy to deal with.And fianlly we won the match.Shevchenko didn't performed as well as when he was in AC milan,but anyway he also has scored some crucial goals in Champions League.Now we probably will meet MU in the finals for three times-the FA cup,EPL match,and the Champions (if the two teams could both get into the finals).Come on ,guys!

yeah..v cud face manu thrice but the man of the match yesterday was cech.if he didnt make those brilliant saves the game wouldnt probably have gone into et.rovers would have won.ballack though played superbly.
