It's unfortunate someone had to lose this year's FA Cup Final in UK. It was one of the most nail-biting affairs for some years. West Ham really put up tremendous resistance and almost beat the more fancied Liverpool.
England fans must be chomping at the bit at the prospect of Steven Gerrard inspiring the team to similar feats at the World Cup next month. His energy and desire were the winning element in a game which had just about everything. Four minutes out he looked spent after succumbing to cramp, but still had the strength of will to pull off a screamer of a goal three minutes from the whistle to level the scores and break the hearts of the Hammers fans. It's a shame such a game had to be decided by penalties.
Let's hope the Socceroos have that same never-say-die attitude when they take to the field in the World Cup.
