Netherlands rightfully lost as the lesser team while in this case, Chelsea managed to survive to make it a tie, and then take the game through penalty kicks..... I really think they should stop deciding the fate of matches on Penalty Kicks for semi-final or final of any tournament You didn't watch a single match from the Netherlands apart from the final, did you? We beat every nation playing superior and lost the match that we didn't. | ||

You don't have to watch Chelsea's games. You aren't a believer and a lover of the game clearly saying bs like that. They played a defensive style, but it worked. | ||

If they game is tied after normal + injury time then the team that won the shoot-out wins. That way you have awesome penalty shoot-outs at the start of every game and one team is forced to attack during injury time. More excitement all round. | ||

The current format is pretty good imo; 120mins is about the limit for a lot of players, and certainly making them play longer or on the next day would be ridiculous. And while penalties are fucking terrifying, they get the job done. On May 20 2012 22:59 Xorphene wrote: Yum so many tears in this thread.

People seem to think it's a travesty when the underdog wins... like how it was a travesty when 10 man chelsea defended against the best attacking side in the world for about an hour with a relatively untested interim manager and their usual captain/leader sent off. It's like SC2 and people whining about MVP cheesing. People only appreciate certain things, for some reason. | ||

I understand its troublesome but it's the champions league finals. Not the 3rd time, you can have the penalty shootout after 2nd tie. It makes it so that if you are able to tie a team twice, your skill level is around the same so penalty shootout is more fair. | ||

Think of all the fans needing to suddenly book accomodation for the next few days (because playing matches on consecutive days is retarded, by the way). The regame is in place in the FA cup, and hardly anyone watches the second game, simply because the excitement has peaked and gone. Penalties is fair. It tests the mettle of players, if anything. | ||

Garbage, if you are able to defend as Chelsea did last night for 120 minutes then you can argue they are the same ability as Bayern in a different way. | ||

Quite hard to attack during injury time, especially if you used your subs before it (not a question of motivation). Clearly Chelsea weren't even close to being the best European team this season (much like Bayern) but if you look at how close they have been over the last 7 years, then yes they should have won ONE cup. Barca/Real will have next year but Chelsea's sqaud's time is ending. | ||

Barca/Real will have next year but Chelsea's sqaud's time is ending. Defending takes energy too. The problem is both teams often "give up" in injury time and just sit back and wait for penalties. If one team was on the brink of losing they would find a way to attack. | ||

One corner from Chelsea to twenty from Bayern. And they scored that once. Bayern also missed a penalty during the match. You can't really argue they have the "same ability in a different way", unless you count relying on sheer luck an ability... Some of you don't seem to understand, it has nothing to do with an ugly style vs a beautiful style, at least in my opinion. Defensive style can be quite nice when done right. The problem is about a style that relies on being extremely lucky to win, which is typical of teams which are heavily the underdog. | ||

And why not? statistically-wise, it's perfectly possible to win a CL being lucky. However the same can't be said if you want to win 2, 3 or more CLs in a row. This championship is the best example you can get. | ||
