It was a brilliant game and I had to miss it.
Olympiakos visited Liverpool yesterday in Champions League play and all I could watch was an online scoreline. No transmission of the game here on non-pay TV.
I was picking up a new IMac G5 at the Apple Store during the game and went I checked the scoreline it was about 29 minutes into the game and Liverpool were down 0-1 in a game that they had to win to make it into the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
This game was worth a good ten million pounds to them (advancement is quite lucrative) and they need the money both to retire debts and to buy a new striker in the January transfer window. (#1 striker Djibril Cisse is out with a season-ending leg break.)
Also, team captain Steven Gerard has been making noises that he might leave the team if they don't make it further in the Champions League draw. As he is possibly the best English midfielder this would be a huge loss to the team.
But they came back in the second half, depleted as they were by injuries, to score three goals and advance to the round of 16.
A huge (and memorable) win and I only got to see the goals in a highlight show. Very frustrating. Too bad I can't buy Sky here in the States.
