Football is a strange

It was one of those nights when Peter Crouch would score a spectacular bicycle kick and the dimunitive Luis Garcia would head home a classic center forward's goal.

Liverpool, against trend, are the ones who pull 3-0 ahead before suffering an onslaught comeback. Of course, the script would be imperfect, and Galatasaray would never get their third goal.

But the reversals are all there, and the irony alone is a joy to know.
