Not that I believe deserved has much to do with football and winning things we deserved better. We did everything but score although I must say a tournament involving teams playing all of two games or less isn't exactly a proper tournament. Slough Paulo got their goal and defended pretty much for the remainder with a combination of luck, resolve and kindness from the officials. Slough Paulo may have won the trophy but they are not worthy champions.
Honestly fellas, how many here would have the Club World Championship top of their trophy wishlist? I would have it behind the Premiership and Champions League/European Cup, with those two you have to win 13+ games to be champions and effectively this was just a one-off match given the lack of quality outside the final.
BTW I thought we should have made changes earlier and Cisse should have come on, probably for Morientes who missed at least two scoreable chances

Oh and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the muppets that come on these boards only when we play their team to annoy and bore us with their drivel as though they are true rivals and not just another team we have to play in an already hectic season

Watched the game, my mate and I danced round the room before we realised that Sinama's goal had been disallowed.
Damnit.
I haven't read all these posts, but I suspect there are a few complaints about three disallowed goals. The first and last ones were rightly disallowed, even the last one. In many games it would have counted, but the linesman did get it right. They presumably got the second (Hyppia's from the corner) right too.
We played reasonably well, well enough to win, but then that is why we love this game - sometimes the plucky, hard working underdogs get up and win it. Not our best performance, and Rafa left the subs too long, though they were the ones I wanted, so I shouldn't complain too much.
Well done Sao Paolo, you did what you had to, and did it well. Could have been much different though.
And to all you Sao Paolo fans who are saying on here that this competition is really important - well, I agree with you, but then I'm not European - I'm from a football backwater and I think it is great when the little guys get to play with the big boys. But I'm afraid we can tell the Euros that it is a big deal all we like, however, in the end, we are wrong. It takes two to tango, and until Europe and European football fans take this competition seriously, it is not important. I think you should all be on here saying thank you to Liverpool for giving the competition as much as they have, rather than crowing about a lucky win. Something about winning friends and influencing people...
