Wow, what a game! Thoroughly enjoyed that. CCM fully deserved the win, they've been the best team all season long. Incredible achievement, 3 trophies in one year...
Popa has now made 5 Grand Finals & lost every one of them. Wonder what is next for him?
If he doesn't like his new VUC lower salary, maybe the J League. Aussie coaches seem to do well there. Ange Post, Muscat & now Harry Kewell.
Kewell's Yokohama F. Marinos got to the AFC Champions League Final. Lost 6-3 on aggregate to Al Ain from UAE. Yokohama were 2-1 after the first leg in Japan, but had their keeper sent off at 45 mins in the return leg (2-1 down) and it all fell apart.
Marinos were 2nd in the J League last year under Muscat, who had taken over from Ange Post. Currently mid table under Kewell.
Very happy that CCM got the win last night. Very deserved, they've been great almost all season.
And the injury time equaliser to send it to extra time was an awesome way to do it - makes the celebration that much bigger when you think you've just lost it - only to turn it around at the last moment (sounds familiar! - just wish we finished it off in ET last week)
Huge season for them and stoked for Gosford getting to see that at their place
