Manchester United, Part 2
I was fortuante enough last night to take my second trip up to Manchester to see the Red Devils play again!!! (To do my dream twice:priceless) My friend Jack was kind enough to drive me, Kristen, Cambria, and Khouri up to Manchester for the game. It was supposed to be a 2 1/2 hour drive but ended up taking about 5 hours to get there!! We got stuck in traffic 45 miles outside Manchester and then when we got into the city, we couldn't find the stadium. Eventually, we found this car park that was only 5 pounds and the guys that were attending it were so helpful and nice!! We got into the stadium with about 25 minutes left in the first half and Manchester United was already down 1-0 to CSKA Moscow (this was a Champions League game. For those of you who don't know, the Champions League is a tournament of the best club teams in Europe.) As soon as we sat down, Michael Owen scored for Manchester United and it was tied 1-1. Over the course of the game, CSKA would scored two more goals, streching their lead to 3-1. United wasn't playing too bad because CSKA's keeper was forced to make many saves. With about 10 minutes left, Paul Scholes scored off a header and then in injury time Antonio Valencia scored to tie it up 3-3. This was important because United only needed a tie to advance to the next round!!! Overall, I am soo happy that I got to see United play twice!!! I know I will be back with my best friend Benny and I'm sure the game we go to will be as just as good as the one's I went to!!
