Never in my life did I cry during penalty shootout. Cried when I thought it was all over, cried when I realized it wasn't over, and cried when we won it.

Such an awesome night :-) Had Tevez not been capable of missing two complete sitters in the biggest game of his career it never would have went to penalties... BUT.... fuck it, that John Terry moment was fucking gold. The second he slipped on his arse and hit the post I KNEW we would be european champions....

Guys don't forget how many times we got to the semi and then finals in the last half decade.

We were so used to it that I don't think we appreciated how absurdly amazing Fergie had become.

Everytime I watched that J scum bag Terry slip, my brain initially thought he scored. Then the beauty of the ball hitting the post. Priceless.
