1st up: Tevez vs Petr Cech - Scores
May the lottery begin. Two very tall goalies.
Stats:
24 shots on target for Chelsea, 12 for Man U. Possession at 58% for Man U.
Penalties
Looks like penalties.
I suspect the guys going out are rather pleased
Penalty switches. Balleti on for Makelele - definitely a penalty taker. Anderson for Brown
Both looking rather grogging. Nani might have to go off. No, he looks ok.
Collision of heads between Cole and Nani. Cech is worried for them having had a serious one before.
120 Minutes: Offside for Giggs. We have not had many of them. 2 minutes of added time.
Tempers flare up. Ends up with a yellow for Tevez. and red for Drogba. So predictable!
Now Chelsea are in trouble. But its only 5 minutes to go to penalties. This is what you get when you have two English sides in the final. They have to fight.
Lots of cramp around :) Carvalho and Cole -- and Terry.
Drogba gives the ball away. Poor from him.
112 Minutes: 8 Minutes to go, as Drogba shoots wide.
Anelka, being relatively fresh wins a free kick for Chelsea in a good position. Drogba range.
Drogba has also been rather anonymous since hitting the post earlier in the game.
Guaranteed: someone is gonna cry today :)
Looks more and more like penalties are a possibility.
Second half now
First half of Extra time over.
A foul on Ballack. Last attack for Chelsea possibly. Brown clears for a corner.
Haven't seen Anelka since he came on.
Tevez has space on the left but shoots straight at Cech.
Rooney goes off, Nani on. Rooney is not happy.
Terry makes a top drawer save from what would have been a certain goal.
Nani about to come on for Man U as both teams look to go for goal.
98 Minutes: Anelka coming on for Joe Cole. I guess Chelsea are going to 4-4-2 now. or even 4-3-3 depending on where Kalou ends up.
Essien was revving up a shot as Chelsea looked to break. Cleared for a corner which comes to nothing.
96 Minutes: Joe Cole is becoming more and more influential for Chelsea. But he now has cramp.
Chelsea very nearly take the lead as Lampard hits the post. A promising counter attack from ManU, but chelsea manage to intercept.
Kalou takes the place of Malouda, left of Chelsea's midfield
Kalou about to come on as Man U have a half chance at scoring but Cech saves.
1st Half Extra Time Coming up...
Now the physical strength of Chelsea might begin to tell over extra time.
The interesting stats:
Chelsea have 20 shots on target with Man U having 8. Man U have the possession though - 57%
ManU were better over first half, Chelsea were better over the second so 1-1 is ideal at this time but we must have a winner today.
FULL TIME: 1-1
Last chance for united. But Makelele clears the cross. A second Ronaldo cross fails to be met by anyone.
90 Minutes: Looks like extra time today.
Joe Cole nearly has a chance on goal after a Ferdinand fails to clear but goalkick. It was a dangerous clearance as Ferdinand's boot was very high.
87 Minutes: Scholes is off, Giggs on. Record set as Sir Bobby Charlton watches.
Joe Cole provides a great cross. But Drogba can't connect properly.
The nerves are getting to people, as the game comes to a close. Lots of mistakes.
Man U give the ball away from the goal kick in midfield. Chelsea fail to take advantage.
84 minutes: Vidic commits an unnecessary foul on Drogba. A good chance for a cross.
Ballack with what must have been the worse shot of the day. Giggs looks to be warming up.
Tevez lets fly from distance, but just wide. No substitutions yet.
79 minutes: Now is a good time to goal. Petr Cech has not been busy this half. Malouda delivers after Ferdinand slips, but Drogba can't convert. van der Sar has had more to do this half.
Drogba with a snapshot and hits the post with van der Sar beaten.
Chelsea claim a hopeful penalty, after Malouda tripped at the crucial moment. Not given. Now a spat between Evra and Joe Cole.
Manchester United look to have gotten back into the game. Joe Cole manages to stop Ronaldo and win the ball as well. The game is more or less balanced now.
74 minutes: Ronaldo dances round a couple of Chelsea defenders and is lucky to get a corner.
Looks like a good time for changes, especially for Man U since Chelsea seem to be growing more dangerous with time. But Chelsea just block a goal bound shot for a corner. Makelele is down injured though - Tevez looks to have been the suspect. Foul off the corner so nothing doing there.
67 Minutes: Trouble for Man U as Ferdinand looks to be suffering from cramp. He just manages to clear what would have been a killer pass, and goes to ground after that.
64 Minutes: A tricky free kick after a foul on Drogba comes to nought. Carrick clears. Chelsea still looking very strong. A corner for chelsea, Terry beats van der Sar but the ball goes wide. Another corner after Joe Cole's pass to Drogba is cut off.
Tempers are getting frayed. Ballack the latest one.
Free kick - Hagreave is agrieved still - escapes a yellow card. An opportunity for Chelsea but a poor cross.
57 Minutes: Chelsea seem to be in the ascendancy - Ballack has space to measure up a shot which is wide. Chelsea look much better this second half.
Essein (from a right back position) suddenly creates for himself space to have shot, but it's on his weaker left foot. The game is getting better.
Man U suddenly make up with Ronaldo splitting Chelsea's defence, but Evra wastes the pass.
Ronaldo, my man of the match so far.
Chelsea seems to have started stronger. A bit of a scrappy start, not unlike the first half, with lots of stoppages for fouls. Joe Cole is livid after being denied what appears to have been a corner. (Yes he suddenly appeared)
Second half coming up - should be interesting
Some half time comments. Cubes is waiting to see someone get a red
Chelsea seem to have woken up. (What Bundi calls the 10 robots of chelsea)
HALF TIME
Carvalho yellow card makes it 2-2 on the cards.
44 Minutes
GOAL Chelsea were getting back into the game as the half draws to a close. A lucky break for Lampard whom you do not want to give space in the box. 1-1. Of all Chelsea players whom I'd want to score, Lampard is one of them due what he has gone through over the last few weeks.
A Ballack free kick goes over, after Ferdinand had to commit a foul outside the box. Ferdinand is mad at his midfield, he gets a yellow.
A risky back pass which chelsea get away with. Man U are passing the ball through chelsea with some ease.
34 minutes: counter attacking move has Rooney picking Ronaldo for a cross. Peter Cech makes a terrific double save. We truly have a game
33 Minutes: Great save from van der Sar. Somehow Ferdinand crossed to Ballack
32 Minutes: 65% possession Man U. Drogba is very quiet. I have not seen Joe Cole play
30 Minutes: Chelsea seem to have gaps on their wings, allowing Manchester United space on the wings to cross, another ball comes in.
27 Minutes: chelsea suddenly look dangerous, but Ballack lashes over. The football has finally started
26 Minutes: GOAL Did I say boring - Ronaldo appears conveniently to score the opening goal. Wes Brown with a Beckamistique cross. Cech rooted to the spot.
So far its rather boring and scrappy. Nothing quality.
23 Minutes: Vidic nearly puts the ball in his own net (Had it covered though) Chelsea's first corner on 23 minutes
20 Minutes: No goals. no shot on target. Makelele and Scholes decide that headbutting each other is fun. Both get yellow cards (illogical i think). Makelele somehow doesn't seem injured
10 Minutes. No goals, no shot on target. Boring (tsk) I want goals. I want beautiful soccer. But anyway this is to be expected as both sides will be cautious
