I still think there was a "pivotal moment" in this match when the Ajax defender, Schone ,really "let himself down" badly by not being sharp enough in allowing his goalkeeper to grab the ball after making a terrific save from a Spurs' header - so fortuitous for Spurs and I "feel" for Ajax as they certainly didn't deserve to lose that semi-final on the basis of a 3-3 draw and the other team has scored two fortuitous away goals while watching two particular great shots skelp off Spurs posts at WHL and in the Amsterdam Arena - that is fate being so cruel!!!
I watched part of the Chelsea match last night v Eintracht Frankfurt and again I have witnessed massive good fortune for another London footie club who should've been finished off by a battling Eintracht side with proper clinical finishing instead of ending up in a pk shootout that they literally "threw away" after being 3-1 ahead, an absolute shocker in capitulation. I've come to the conclusion that this year has seen a "silly season" in footie terms with the fortuitous moments being consistently experienced by the English footie clubs, something that IMO will not happen again for a very long time. The irony is that few English players line up for these clubs anyway!!
