Liverpool vs valiant Standard Liege 1-0 27/8

Liverpool scraped into the group stages of the Champions League courtesy of a 118th minute goal from Dirk Kuyt against a valiant Standard Liege.

Kuyt sidefooted home at the far post to end a tortuous night for the Reds.

They survived two early scares when keeper Pepe Reina produced superb saves in palming away strikes from Dieudonne Mbokani and Marouane Fellaini.

Liverpool were denied a penalty in extra-time when Oguchi Onyewu brought down Nabil El Zhar before Kuyt's goal.

The result and timing of the goal was harsh on the Belgian champions, who had proved stubborn opponents for Liverpool.

The Reds had been fortunate to leave Liege with a goalless draw in the first leg and were expected to show an improvement on home territory.

I can see your point, as with everything in life though it's a matter of opinion, and everyone has a different view. On this matter i disagree and feel that fans should be able to enjoy and feel passionate about their club's achievements. A lot of successful people have the same attitude too. And you're right none of it matters, it's just opinions, pointless arguing online about it lol nice talking to you, all the best in your life.

stfu it's all so great cuz they're not their class idiot don't talk shit at youtube kid

[knowyourenemy50]

it's not about britain or the US or whatever other country. there's people in every country that say "us" and "we"...my point is that there's groups of people everywhere that take it too far and live vicariously through other people's accomplishments while having nothing to be proud of in their own lives.  as for the size comment, it was in response to the guy challenging me about saying something like that to his face. anyways, whatever none of this matters.

[kopguy]

Actually in brittain all football fans refer to the club they support as "us" or "we". No one cares what size you are by the way lol

[knowyourenemy50]

not sure what the internet comment is about. there's a 90% chance i'm bigger than you because i have the size to play in one of your rugby leagues (not the skill obviously). anyways, i don't see you out there strapping on your boots on the pitch so there is no US regardless except for the players. bottom line talking shit about liege was uncalled for. they're the top team in the belgian league and gave liverpool a valiant effort.
