Everton have missed the 2nd.

aiiiiiii

Everton scored the 3rd pen. 2-2

Thats a fantastic save

Oh man, What a save! Everton are done now.

Oh no Everton missed again. good save.

noooo

Its all over and Everton crash out of the uefa cup even though they deserved to go through. Football's a [beep!] at times

Never mind Everton, you were the best team on the night, but the "Mighty European Giants" can always try again in next years UEFA CUP...

Unlucky Everton.

damn Everton was way better in this match not fair.

you couldnt have been more wrong. thought Everton were really good and as much as i hate to say it, they deserved to advance

It was obvious Fiorentina wanted pens as soon as the 2nd Everton goal went in.

Completely undeserved.... That's the way the cookie crumbles eh, shoulda laid them to the sword.

I h8 pens

Great atmosphere though and enjed every minute of it... Until the pens.

Oh well... Lets carry on and grab fourth spot now.

your right about the atmosphere part, although i have to disagree and say you wont come fourth, Liverpool will

I'd like to remind everyone that the game was played for 180 minutes, over two legs. Everton deserved to win on the night, but then Fiorentina deserved to win the other week... Both teams could've won it outright in their respective home ties, but didn't. It went to penalties and that's the way it goes.

Why did the stewards push Fiorentina's players to the floor when they were trying to celebrate with their fans though?

Why do Italian police kick the sh|t out of the English is what you should be asking.

True. Neither should really happen.

i think that is what they have to do. thats is the rules right. they are not aloud to go to thre own fans.

Why though? The games over - they don't need to restart do they? Which is why i thought they did it... To save time. I hope it's not safety reasons, 'cause that'd be pathetic.

I was just going to ask if they deserved it more than Fiorentina deserved to bury the tie in the first leg? Ben seems to have reminded some people of Fiorentina's dominance in the first.

I don't know what happened in the second leg though, so i can't say.

What do other people think ?

Very close overall thats what happened... We just give them a hammering too.

I want Fiorentina to win. They show great promise and since they cannot win Serie A they should win this one at least. Next season I expect them to be Serie A contenders.

To be fair, Everton were excellent in this leg tonight. They made Fiorentina look lethargic with their very robust and enthusiastic attitude... And it paid off with pretty much 90 minutes of dominance, similar to Fiorentina's in the first leg. Frey kept them in it with some fine saves really (albeit was at fault for the first).

I didn't expect Everton to stand much of a chance of progressing - i thought Fiorentina would do them in on the break - but they controlled the game and looked composed throughout, so credit to them for that.
