★ Marseille 0-4 Liverpool. ;D ★

Smelly's back with a soccer update! :D

Wooh pre-match analysis with Derek Currie. I love his Scottish (or is it Irish?) accent. He pronounced 'three' as 'thlee'. Like so cool la! Yeap agree with him that this is the tightest group in the entire CL history, every match is a make or break. Players dreading it, fans loving it. Haha well, I'm lovin the excitement with each match. How not to!?! Liverpool wins this, we are through. Marseille wins this, they are through. Draw? Liverpool will then go through if Besiktas beats Porto (not very possible considering their performance so far).

Let's hope we can have an epic win tonight (Liverpool always does well at Europe so I'm pretty hopeful but shan't say it out loud should it jinx our title hopes, yeah I am pantang), otherwise Rafa's gonna look stupid after that Reading sacrifice. And with a win, it'll defnitely soothe the pain we from the Reading incident, bloody ref got his refereeing guide all screwed up or something. The ref should give himself a red man. If you guys wanna know what we mean by "referee kayu", just watch our match against Reading. :)

Wooh just saw the line-up. Rafa's played out a good team tonight. But I was hoping for a Crouchy-Torres affair instead of Kuyt-Torres. Don't know, but I always felt that Kuyt's a tad slow to link up Torres near the box. And with the Katik Marseille players (think Valbuena, Ziani), Crouchy can do more damage. Haha but I'm still satisfied with the line-up. :D Currie just commented that Kuyt's gonna do a lot of running -_-" He always does a lot of running. Ohh! Liverpool's scored the most no. of goals in Group A.

I'm loving our black away kit. Anyone noticed something missing tonight?
Haha realise there's no Carlsberg logo on our jerseys tonight?
Well, cus' advertising for alcohol's not allowed in France. So we can never see a French football team having 'Bourdeaux' on their jerseys.

Marseille's kit sucks totally, top's a sick neon orange, bottom's pastel blue. =S
From far (on tele), it looks like pastel pinks and blues. -_-" *whistle, loud cheering*
Kick off at Stade Velodrome, France.

Woah. Fiery start man, Mars keep pouncing on our players like it's rugby la.
3" Gerrard's brought down in the box, penalty awarded to L'pool. GK saves but Stevie scores (4") on rebound. WOOOO! Captain brings us 1-0 up barely 5 minutes into the game. LOVE YOU STEVIE! :D

Dream start for L'pool, oh yeah! Haha this is gonna set a really good momentum for the lads.
Wah lau, people from Mars keep fouling us, 2 players beefing up my Benayoun la.
Lol Pleat (one of the commentators) is saying Ben-Ya-Noon again. It's Ben-na-yoon dammit! Haha!

5" Free kick taken by Riise but flies over the post. If only the ball bends inwards. :D Bend it like Becks or Carlos, Carlos was an awesome free kicker also lor (in the past).
Marseille's playing like some gansta team la!! They're risking it man.

7" Rodriguez foul Torres, brought him down in an aerial attack! BOOO! Free kick taken by Gerrard but Lana clears, corner by Gerrard passes to Benayoun, but unable to create space.
Mars fans are throwing litter into the field la. And there's this stupid fella near the mic that keeps going "lalala" and thickly-accented Boos are so annoying.
I'm loving Benayoun more and more, there's so much more flow with him around!

8" Niang looks set to score but assistant ref flags offside.

11" Torres makes it 2-0 a lil' over 10 mins! Awesome ball control and class from TORRES! So many defenders closing down on him and he manages to hold it down and find an angle. WOOHOO LOVE YOU TORRES!

Haha Lala must be happy that Kewell's fielded in the first team!
That stupid guy in the stands should really stop lala-ing -_-"
So glad Hyypia's playing tonight, makes me feel safe whenever he's on.

Kewell crosses in to Kuyt and he fires but Mars GK saves it easily.
Familiar face in Marseille, Zenden., Always a lil sad to see ex-Liver lads, Zenden looks sad, really! Look at his eyes.

Valbuena tries to edge out an angle but Reina closes the angle. Reina's an awesome GK and the best thing is, he's constantly improving. LOVE PEPE TOO! :D
Commentator just said "stony-faced Gerets", hahaha how true!
Riise looks so huge beside Ziani!

24 mins passed and it's pretty comfy so far, Reina's gonna fall asleep soon.
Yellow card to Carra (AGAIN!) but the stupid Mars guy over-acted la! Free kick to Mars. Very funny leh, no card for penalty but yellow card to our player for this?? Ref's a bit harsh man.

29" Kuyt didn't run fast enough to link up with Torres. Kuyt if only you can react a lil' faster.
Marseille's desperate, Niang (mother) looks set to score but he's off side again (like deja vu) same as prev time! Should watch the line man.

32" Defensive midfield Cheyrou's off for Nasri (Algeria), what's so big deal about him man seriously, just that like Zidane, he's Algerian and he's born in Marseille. Pedigree? Hmm....

34" Free kick to Marseille for Hyypia's foul, but it never seems to get anywhere near the net so far.

36" Free kick given to Marseille just a yard outside the box, taken by Zenden but cleared by Mascherano.

39" Kewell's brought down, free kick taken Gerrard, lotsa funny sounding Boos from the Frenchies. SO CLOSE! Barely an inch from the side post!

Yellow to Mars captain for foul on Torres. Free kick by Masch to Kewell nearly had a goal with an awesome volley from the left, pity it flew inches over the net. Kewell's getting better. :D

42" Benayoun to Kuyt in the middle to torres on the left chips it but can't keep it down

Funny free-kicks, ref's in European matches more sensitive? Hmm or England's refs too laxed, close one eye?
2 mins added.

Stupid Givet bump off Torres in aerial tackle still there to show that face la!
Niang dives countless times. -_-"

Faty (haha dun wanna be childish laughing at this name, but I can't help it =x) subbed in for Givet seconds before half time. -_-"

comments on 1st half:

The centre of midfield has both guile and craft in Mascherano and Gerrard, great communication. Kewell and Benayoun provides skill and creativity from wide areas. Kuyt gives us width, Crouchy gives us depth.
So we're going for width tonight? Hmm.
Our defense's impeccable tonight. :D
Chelsea 0-0 Valencia.

---------------------------------------------------HT--------------------------------------------------

Marseille switch: Zenden off Cisse on, wooh are we gonna see some action from you Cisse? Torres looked right into my TV screen for a few secs just now! Don't wanna sound bimbotic (haha!) but I think millions of female fans' hearts just skipped a beat. XD

48" Kuyt makes it 3-0 with an awesome long ball in from Kewell! Lousy defending by Marseille. Kewell's gettin better with every game. Kuyt's said that he wanted to honour the memory of his dad by winning a trophy this year, so sad la cus' his dad's a regular at Kuyt's matches, Kuyt even said "It's hard to be without him because he's my biggest supporter and now he's not here anymore". So touching right! Kuyt's dad was lost to cancer earlier this year.RIP Kuyt Senior!

Wooh Valbuena's pretty good.

Marseille's used up all 3 subs already and Niang's limping heavily. Deja vu man! Remember Rafa was flamed for doing stupid substitution in a previous match.
Will Mars stop diving!!?!

58" Torres's alone (lousy Mars defenders) on the right flank run towards box waiting for support to come, but Kuyt's ~~always~~ a lil' late.

60" Nice clearance by Carra.

63" Cisse heads in and is just inches wide. Closest attempt from Mars so far.

Woah. Liverpool fans power! Though we're the minority in the stands there, we're defnitely making ourselves heard man, YNWA~!

64" Cisse's arguing that it should've been a corner.
Litter thrown down as Reina's takes his spot. -_-"

66" Kewell's off for Aurelio

70" Torres brought down by Rodriguez, free kick taken by Aurelio

72" Niang brought down, free kick taken by Nasri but as usual it's nowhere near the net
Ooh Babel's coming on, prolly for Torres, gotta save firepower for ManU(re). :D

update: Lazio's OUT! Hurrah to that!

Mars takes lousy free kicks man.
Mascherano's in pain after collision with Hyypia, haha hope Masch's alright cus' Hyypia is BIG lor.
David pleat said ben-ya-noon AGAIN! -_-"

Cisse contesting for handball but replay proves otherwise. Ref makes good decisions.

Kuyt's off, Lucas on.
Yellow for Aurelio's foul on Valbuena, harmless free kick by Valbuena

90"+1 Babel comfortably kicks the ball into the net as GK runs out. OMGOSH! 4-0! Wraps up tonight's awesome Reds performance perfectly. LOVE BABEL! :D

-------------------------------------------------FT-----------------------------------------------

Marseille 0-4 Liverpool (4" Gerrard, 11" Torres, 48" Kuyt, 91" Babel)

16 goals in last 3 CL matches! Omg! Hahaha
AWESOME! Hicks n Gillete? Shut up about rafa already! =)
The champions~~~~ =D
