today. The breeze kept the sunny 93 F / 99 heat index at the 1 PM
match survivable for fans and a very good time was had (along with the New Castle Brown Ale). . 4 shots on goal in the first half and a nil-nil final did nothing to convince that the great sport wouldn't be vastly improved with a lot more shots on goal and an occasional score. Some big names for Liverpool came on for the final 30 minutes, and Andy Carroll entered with 20 minutes remaining - but wasn't impressive. The crowd (announced around 42,000 - in the Ravens' 71,000 seat stadium) was 80+ % decked in Liverpool red. . The drawn-up defensive lines kept 20 players in a 20-yard band near mid- filed ... where impressive ball skills were displayed in the very tight quarters. . To add to my laundry list of radical proposals, I'll now add: "any team that passes back to the goalie a second time on a possession will give up a corner kick to the opponent." |
