Athletes are like actors, or musicians, or even race car drivers.

Some people think that getting paid big money to chase a ball around is silly. Some people think getting paid big money to make noise with instruments is silly. Some people think that getting paid big money to pretend being someone else is silly.

They're all entertainers... and as long as SOMEone is willing to pay big dollars to see the best of the best ply their trade, they deserve to be paid well.. big money.. Athlete, Actor, Musician, alike.

Not my thing this football lark but i caught some of the end of it and saw mainly a lot of grown men rolling around in agony then getting up 2 minutes later and suddenly being ok?

And over here i heard on the news chelsea fans had 'running battles' with the police......guess thats all the polices fault as well after the disgrace that happened in manchester by those rangers 'fans'.

Not only does it not appear safe to go to the actual game, just to going to watch it in a different country on a big screen doesnt appear safe!!!

Yet i can go to a GP with quite a few tens of thousands of fans all supporting various drivers and or teams and not feel threatend at all!

If Drogba hadn't been carded and taken the kicks, Terry probably wouldn't have been in that position. Just goes to show what seems like a babyish slap can do to an entire outcome of a game...

I only started watching it at the 115 minute when i got home from school, but it was an exciting finish! They were showing it on ESPN 2 here in the US
