Middlesbrough vs. Steaua Bucharest (UEFA Cup semi-final) [R]
For those who didn't tune into the UEFA Cup semi-final last night between Middlesbrough and Steaua Bucharest, you missed another legendary match in UEFA Cup history.

Just like Middlesbrough needed four goals to advance to the semi-final, in like manner they needed four goals to advance to the final -- and they got them!! The stadium was absolutely levitating with enthusiasm at the end of the match.

Middlesbrough came back to the Riverside for the second leg down 0-1 after Steaua scored a goal at home during the first leg.

Steaua scored two more goals in the first half of yesterday's match, putting Middlesbrough down 0-3, but Steaua had the advantage of away goals, so Middlesbrough needed 4 goals to go through to the final.

McClaren sent in one of the most offensive-minded line-ups I've seen. But the Man of the Match was (surprisingly) Massimo Maccarone. He started the scoring with a scorcher and ended the scoring with a header (the last and fourth goal). In between were goals from Mark Viduka and Chris Riggott.

So, for two consecutive home UEFA Cup matches, Middlesbrough has needed four goals and has delivered. Wow! Riveting stuff!

It's already being dubbed "The Best Comeback Since Lazarus."

TO quote FIFA 06, that clip is "absolutly brilliant." I hope those guys are the commentators of the rebroadcast because I'm looking forward to watching that tonight.

Hell freezes over because of the UEFA Cup, the natural digestif following a dinner of Champions League semifinals. Yankee Doodle Dandee -- or maybe it's Ray Hudson's spasmatic shouting -- pings inside my head, as Massimo Maccarone and Middlesbrough repeat "the feat" in the UEFA Cup semifinals. I'm tickled by the feather known as Maccarone. Stunned, thrilled, confused, I wonder how a digestif gave me a full-blown buzz. It's magnificent. I am lucky to be alive. I just might become a Middlesbrough fan, if Steve McClaren doesn't pip Scolari for the England job. Or I may simply follow Maccarone around if I can find out what Yankee Doodle did with his cap. "The Office" is a new episode. Commercial breaks are spent flipping back to a replay of the 'Boro-Steaua match. I'm just as stunned the second time around.
