...I watched a film last night. It was one of those football movies, where a team of proud Englishmen, underachievers and blunderers, somehow get to the Cup Final, only to find themselves being well beaten by the best team in the competition, thanks to the opposition efficiency, the oppositions fouling and a dodgy ref. As one would expect in a stereotypical football film, all seems lost, but the English captain with the lionheart rallys his troops and somehow the team finds themselves back on the status quo.
At this point in the film, there is always a courageous defender who will be running through pain to stop the opposition scoring, while the blundering keeper redeems himself by producing a save that isn't actually possible in a proper football match due to the laws of gravity, before further redeeming himself by saving penalties, with the unwanted substitute scoring the penalty that confirms the victory.
The film was enjoyable, and I'm not bothered that I don’t know what it's called, but I thought that I'd just like to say that I wish film makers would make football films more realistic, as this sort of thing never happens in real life.

hehe,
PS: I’ve heard that Liverpool also won the Champions League last night - well done to them.

Not sure, thought it was a perfectly tempered game.
"the oppositions fouling and a dodgy ref"
Err...
I can see where he's getting his (wrong) opinion of a dodgy ref, but oppositions fouling?

Pfft. Milan should be the best team in the competition with the squad they've got. But Liverpool proved that they're not. As did Juve in Serie A. :-)
