Rafael DaSilly is a silly boy. A very silly boy indeed. His stupid act of petulance has cost us a place in the semis of UCL.
While his second yellow card is explainable, he should have been sent off for the first one itself. Such stupidity and at this level is not acceptable. But hopefully it should make him a better player. Beckham learnt from his mistake at the '98 WC. Hopefully Rafael will do the same.
About the game...well over two legs Bayern deserved to go through. They showed tremendous spirit to come back after conceeding goals and getting the required results. Their play was not really attractive or flashy but was effective and got the job done.
As for United, we deserved what we got. We lost the plot the moment Rooney scored in Munich. A hint of complacency set in and we came undone. A silly handball by Neville gave away a cheap freekick and a goal. Then Evra got caught cold by Olic. But the worst was the first goal we gave at OT. I can't believe Carrick was so easily outmuscled by Olic. And the red card then settled everything.
Overall, I think this is a season where SAF needs to rebuild bigtime. It's time we got in a midfielder who can create and not just drive the team forward. And we really need a 20 goal a season striker.
GGMU!!!
