The Cobblers pulled it off (last week) on penalties. What a win for them. Liverpool had mostly reserves playing in this Carling Cup match... still... I'm no expert, but i'm pretty sure this sort of thing shouldn't happen. Nice work Cobblers!I read somewhere that this game ensures that Northampton will be turning a profit for the year now. Something about that I like because I know that more then a few Premier League teams are in financial trouble.
This will be a game long forgotten in the world of soccer, in fact it may already be. But for NHT it is a win for the ages.
big win for NHT. and an embarrassing defeat for Liverpool, reserves or not. and with home field advantage. and going down after missing a shoot-out goal. ...but, then that's why i love this game. totally unpredictable.
ReplyDeletei think it is great that a game like this can happen. i'd like to see some mls teams travel to play teams in europe in meaningful games
