Football Report - FA Cup Final

Last Night i watched the FA cup final. Liverpool were playing West Ham United. Now my pick was Liverpool because they are my team and i thought West Ham was going to have a tuff time agianst the red because they were the underdogs.

Once the game got underway it was pretty even not many shots at goal.  Until the 21st minute when Carragher scored a own goal and West Ham where ahead. 8 minutes later the Reds where in trouble when Ashton scored with the ball rolling under Reina's arm (red's keeper).

Djibril Cisse scored a awesome goal after 32 minutes of play and Liverpool fans had something to cheer about.  After an equiliser and another goal by West Ham, near the of the 2nd half Liverpool were down one goal and West Ham fans were extactic. Liverpool had already used all 3 of the subs and Kewell had already come off after limping around, but Gerrard go the ball and cracked in! Liverpool was lucky but they might not have been in that situation if Crouch's goal was aloud (Referees called it offside but it clearly wasn't).

The game went into extra time and still no goals were scored.   So a penalty shootout would have to diecide the match (the worst way aswell), Hamann who recieved a yellow card redeemed himself by giving a headstart to the team.  Bobby Zamora unfortunatley had his shot saved by Reina.  Hyypia shoot saved by Shaka Hislop and vetran Teddy Sheringham made it 1-1.   Gerrard then put Liverpool 2-1 ahead in the shootout before Reina saved Konchesky's shot. John Arne Riise blasted Liverpool 3-1 up leaving Anton Ferdinand needing to score to keep it alive. He didn't manage it and  Liverpool are the champions.
