as expected, liverpool breezed through to the semifinals of the champions league after disposing PSV comfortably 4-0 on aggregate. resting several first team players, liverpool still looks comfortable at home, although they scored after PSV was down with 10 players after dirk marcellis, who was making his championship debut, was shown the red card.

so, its set to be another mouthwatering encounter with chelsea in the semifinals, with milan and manUre in the other semifinal. let’s see who liverpool will meet in athens, greece come may 23. :)

in an unrelated story, i decided to come back from my semi-retired status, to play for my institution this coming new football season. for those who wants to know, i’d sworn off football last season after my cheapo topper boots started to disintegrate during the quarterfinals. by the way, my team was knocked out soon after. no, it had nothing to do with me, as i was just one of the fringe reserve player, hoping for my 5 minutes of fame, ha!

anyway, i was encouraged by the recent fortunes of my fav team that i decided to get myself a new pair of boots to replace the disintegrated boots. so off i went with the wifey and aniq to the kingdom of sports gear, queensway! my initial budget of $30 could only get the toppers and kelmes. so i settled on a pair of umbros for $50 after discount. for a fringe player like me, i guess, it was more than ok, although i was really eyeing on the ronaldinho tiempo nike boots, which cost a cool $200!

maybe i could dribble like ronaldinho if i got one of them, but i guess i just settle on the umbros for now!

my $50 umbro boots.....
