Nice goal by Drogba to get Chelsea on the board. 1-0 Chelsea right now in the 38th minute.

nobody forced zambrotta to pass the ball in the middle like that. it was disgusting. that's like saying riise's own goal was "forced error" and thus in no way lucky for chelsea.

and scholes' shot was not "clean". I don't believe for a second he tried to put it in that top corner with "swing" like that.

You don't think Scholes intended for the ball to swing like that into the corner? We're talking about Paul Scholes here, not Fabregas. Scholes is the best shooter on United's team. I'd buy the ball went whereever he willed it to go. It was a beautiful shot, and anyone bemoaning probably hates United anyways(which is true in your case).

The final is basically going to be a Chelsea homegame.

Ronaldo was right behind Zambrotta and he was clearly pressured....that's a forced turnover

Scholes hits it with his laces closer to the outside of his boot, that is definitely curling away from the keeper.

yes, but nobody forced zambrotta to pass the ball in the middle, which is just a moronic thing to do. he could have passed the ball to puyol or valdes or just kicked it to the stands. he had 4 choices and he chose the worst one. you just don't do that unless you are 110% sure you succeed.

there was pressure on riise, but no one says les bleues weren't lucky.

.. I admit scholes is pretty good in shooting the ball, but usually players don't put that kind of curl on the ball when they shoot to the "opposite" top corner, because there is the risk it'll curl all the way out. that's what I thought when seeing it. could be I'm wrong.

Did you not see Gerrard talking about this in the Adidas commercial with them island boys?

His personal strategy is usually to just aim the volley towards the keeper as hard as he can because is usually curls to the top corner if you hit it hard enough. I think it's common knowledge for pros so I don't think it was a lucky strike.

Perhaps you're still bitter about Arsenal's "beautiful" goals not counting double?

well, isn't it then lucky that the ball curls to top corner, if the shooter aims in the centre?

close your eyes, kick as hard as you can and hope it curls away from the keeper?
