Wow, what a final. Congrats to the winners, with the exception of Cristiano Ronaldo.

I'm disappointed by the result, and it's too bad it ended on penalty kicks, but I have recently been haunted by nightmares that the game would somehow end in a knife-fight between Avram Grant and Vladimir Putin, so from that standpoint it was a relief. And Grant, now that is one terrifying guy. I saw him talking to Lampard at one point, and I wasn't sure if he was giving advice or threatening to eat him.

Was this Drogba's last game with Chelsea? Even if that's not the case, the parallels between his exit-inducing slap and Zidane's head butt in the finals of the '06 World Cup are eerie.
