oh football, how i love you. i get out of my always boring government class and do a mad dash to the library, and what do i find? a beautiful scoreline waiting for me, that's what. first of all, riise and momo both on the starting team? joy! i had been reading all the articles about momo getting ready to play this morning but i don't think i really

it's alright, i've been sick so i probably wouldn't have been able to respond until now anyway! :*

momo is mohammad sissoko, he plays midfield. if you saw a tall black guy wearing glasses in the middle of the pitch, that's momo. why i was so happy to see him play is that he got kicked in the head during a champions league game last month and had to have surgery on his eye. they said he'd have up to 80% vision loss in the eye and that he'd never play football again, but well, guess they were wrong. here's a good article about himit was 7-0 in the end, actually! cisse got one right at all the end, so all of our strikers scored (except for robbie, since he wasn't played). but it was truly brilliant. i knew you'd love liverpool if you just saw them play at their best

ps. let me lay out all the nicknames i know, so maybe you won't get confused. momo is sissoko, like i mentioned. morientes is mori, more often than not. riise is sometimes called johnny rockets. if you ever hear anything like bean pole or something referring to height, it's crouch obviously, though i just like to call him crouchy. carra is jamie carragher. pepe is reina, didi is hamann, and if you ever hear anyone refer to god, that's robbie fowler, because of his history with liverpool. flo-po was florent sinama-pongolle, but we loaned him out to ... newcastle, maybe? so you probably won't see that one mentioned much anymore. rafa or rafa bean refers to rafael benitez, the liverpool manager, who you can usually spot on the sidelines gesturing wildly. oh, and captain fantastic! that's stevie. :)

i don't like when i like two different teams. i'm one of those people who tends to favor just one team in competition. but now... *sighs
