Middlesbrough vs. Sheffield United |
|
The only FA Cup Last 16 replay - played between Middlesbrough and Sheffield United after a goalless draw in the first match.
At Brammall Lane i thought it was terrific battle. Full-blooded, fast-paced and generally typical of an English cup tie... Okay, the football was generally poor, but that just made it so open and it produced some great end-to-end frantic stuff. Tonights game doesn't seem to be disappointing either! Downing had one of the best chances as he ran through into the penalty area (right of centre) and dragged a shot wide. They've had the greater momentum going forward as we near half-time, but that's bound to happy with them being at home. I wouldn't bet against an upset though, if you can exactly call it that. |

Great play from Alves, who's seemed a bit jaded up until now, to beat his man and play the ball into the box - but Young scuffed the shot.

We're heading into the second half of extra-time in an exhilarating affair (one people are obviously too engrossed in to post about...), it really could go either way. Tuncay came close, but i'm holding out for penalties. Hopefully anyway, can't beat a shoot-out.

No it wasn't. It doesn't have to be flashy football to be entertaining. |

a boring game? |

Personally I found it quite uninspiring, although I had no real interest in the outcome. Didn't seem to me to be much attractive football being played.
Do feel sorry for the goalie though, though with a striker stood right behind him it was going to be difficult to get the ball safe anyway |
