three minutes

1999. bayern munich were up 1-0 in the european champions league final in the 90th minute. three minutes of injury time. beckham takes a corner, and after a goalmouth scramble, giggs miscues a shot from outside the penalty box which reaches sheringham. he turns the ball in empathically.

while the director is showing the replay of the goal and scenes of united supporters going crazy, united wins another corner. becks take it, sheringham dummies, the ball looks like its going to flash across the goal. solskjaer sticks out his leg acrobatically...

pandemonium. =)

a few minutes ago. england is up 1-0 against france. beckham had a penalty saved by barthez in the second half, a miss that would haunt england in three minutes of injury time. 90th minute. foul outside the box. zidane steps up. he and his teammates have not had the best of games. the ball whizzes past the wall. england keeper james doesn't even see it coming. rooted to the spot, he watches a silver flash bulge the net.

england 1 france 1. france go on the offensive. outside the box, around the area that the earlier foul was committed, gerrard attempts to pass the ball back to the keeper not realising henry is lurking with intent. james clatters into henry. yellow card. penalty.

zidane once again. he takes the penalty. james dives to his left. the ball was rifled into the opposite corner. england 1 france 2.

pandemonium. =(

i've always said three minutes is a long time in football.
