Glad we have stayed up last night, to witness one of the most dramatic penalty shootout ever. How is it dramatic? Because the ball hit the crossbar, hit the white line, but never passed the line. And this penalty cost Fulham the game.
Chelsea was one man down early in the second half, and Fulham was rewarded a penalty, but they missed their best chance to win the game. Despite being short in number, Chelsea managed to pull through 120 minutes without losing a goal, and the game went into penalty shootout, as Drogba, Torres, Mata all not on the pitch, Villas-Boas let Lampard took the first penalty and he missed it, the rest all went in..just when we thought Fulham has a better chance to win the game, Dembele missed his penalty. All eyes were on Bryan Ruiz when he stepped forward to take Fulham last penalty, after that, everything was in slow motion. The ball left his foot, hit the crossbar then hit the white line..and no, it DID NOT cross the line. Our eyes rolled in disbelief when referee announced that Chelsea won the game. How unlucky to lose a game like this?
Anyway, we will be away on vacation for a week, starting tomorrow. So our blog may not update regularly as we usually do, but do check back when you have time, we may have some exciting news to share with you! Everything will resume back to normal on 3 Oct. =)
