A tough loss at Wembley

Our Villa lads played their hearts out today at Wembley - where they took on Man United for the Carling Cup. We took any early lead with the Milner PK, but gave up the next two to United (one on a Villa turnover and the second - the game winner - was a Rooney header). Final result: Man Utd 2 Aston Villa 1. Despite the disappointment - it was a great run to the Cup! AVFC California members in the northern part of the state came out to support Villa at the Kezar Pub in San Francisco, CA.

Villa Battles to a Draw with Man United

Despite many turnovers, Aston Villa battled the reigning champions to a 1-1 draw. My man of the match - Brad Friedel. Without him in net, we may not have earned our 1 point. One of the few matches shown live in the U.S. (Fox Soccer Channel), I did not get to see it until tonight (2 days late). But I was able to avoid finding about the result so I could watch the match "as if it were live".
