"They say lightning never strikes twice but it has here tonight!" That's a quote from the ever-so excited commentator on BBC Radio Cleveland following Massimo Maccarone's last minute headed goal for Boro against Steaua Bucharest last night. In an amazing game, Boro came back from two down on the night (and three down on aggregate) to score four in a row and on to the final in two weeks (in Eindhoven, versus Sevilla). The lightning reference is because Boro were in exactly the same position against Basel in the quarter finals and fought back to win (with the bald eagle Maccarone also grabbing the winner with the last kick of the game). It's a funny old game!
All this excitement is serving as a nice warm-up for the World Cup, although we're in no rush, as we're still a bit hoarse after all the cheering and shouting last night!
Who needs Big Phil, we've got Stevie Mac!
