it was the semi-finals of carling cup and probably more imptly, the derby of the english north. the long rich football history of the reds vs the always-the-lesser-brother blues.
so the scoreline read 2-1 in favour to the blues. and the 2 were scored by former reds frontman carlos tevez. sweet revenge for both tevez and man city fc.
but to me the more amazing was, ryan giggs (of united) put the visitors in the lead 17 minutes into the match. ryan giggs, the guy who together with other man u big names like beckham, scholes and cantona, helped the club dominate the english premier football during much of the 90s.
while most of the rest from that era has faded out either into other areas of media (positive or negative) or other areas of the games (coaching), ryan giggs is very much alive and literally kicking around in the pitch, all 36 years of him. sure he is a professional and everything blah blah etc. but how many more 35+ year olds do u see in the pro league and still making waves? and please don't name me those goalies. lehman can go to hell with his whines.
not that he would be my role model or anything but I look at myself. I at 34+ would die from fatigue just climbing 11 flight of stairs. I need to shape up or really go 6 feet.
