ARSENAL!!!

So I just got back from watching one of the best football (soccer) games of my entire life. Arsenal v Manchester United. Man U came in as the favorites, but Arsenal had a fighting chance. First half produced no goals. In the 53rd minute Wayne Rooney scored a nice goal for Manchester. All seemed lost, but in the 83rd minute Van Persie scored for Arsenal. I would have been satisfied with a tie, and thought the next 10 minutes would be scoreless. In about the 91st or 92nd minute (with basically two minutes left in the game) Thierry Henry scored for Arsenal. To say East Slope Bar went wild is an understatement. Football is such an amazing game of suspense and instant gratification. As much as I would like to be in America watching the NFL championships, I think i can very easily get used to this...
