Uber-fussball.

Indeed.

My cap and pants are off to what could be the greatest night of European soccer I have ever seen. Period. I wrote earlier that Liverpool have a tall order, but by God, did they show class!

Watching as a neutral was nothing short of pure football magic, really. Hats off to them again. Now, as it is, United and Porto would renew issues at the Dragao later tonight while Arsenal also do their thing.

I'm hearing that Rio would be back for the game for the Reds while Arsenal are schedule to have Ade and RVP.

Djourou is out and so Wenger would have something of a selection headache. But should United and Arsenal go through it would be a victory for English football. Doubtless. So, we can only wait for games as fitting as last night's.

Till then.

Blast!

The vaunted on-formness of Liverpool has gone rat-a-blast. What a win by Chelsea. Let's face it, I definitely did not see this kind of 3-1 result coming. However, my pal at Atlantis made an important point after the game.

Said he: "Essien's absence in the two legs that 'Pool lost to Chelsea was the difference." If you do not believe, I think this BBC blog would bear me witness. The 'Pool fans did well by sports-manly applauding the Blues off - truly deserved, if you ask me.

At this time, it's time to go, but not before I mention the most one-sided game of all time, champs league-wise. Barca 4-0 Munchen by the end of the first half!

See ya tomorrow.
