First game of the season

I went to see the first game of the Superettan season. Sirius vs Ljungskile. The first 60 minutes or so were rather poor and Sirius looked like a team that would not be playing in this league next season. But it was a bit too early to rule them out and a few minutes into the second half they started to shape up and intensified the game, pushing the tempo up so the opponents looked like they were having a hard time to keep up. By this time Sirius were trailing by two goals but they managed to score in the 65th minute or so. They kept the pressure and looked like a winning team for the rest of the game and they also managed to get a draw, 2-2. The final goal was on a free kick and I couldn't really tell if it went straight into the net or if it was a header. I was too cold to pay attention to the game by then. I'm hoping that it was the cold that kept the crowds away. I was expecting more people but I think the count stopped at around 1800 or so, which is pretty poor for an opening game.

In actually think Sirius deserved to win.

Now it's time for champions league. I had ruled out Liverpool but just as we speak they've taken a 2-0 lead against Chelsea, at Stanford Bridge!
