If you’re a world soccer fan – as we’re sure you are – be sure to check out ESPN2’s live coverage of the Liverpool-Chelsea Champions League semifinal that begins at 2 p.m. this afternoon. Steve Nicol will be live in-studio in Bristol to represent Liverpool on the pregame/halftime/postgame commentary panel.
He’s been down there many times before so he’s used to this live broadcast pressure, but we’ll see if he handles the pressure of needing an outright Liverpool victory or a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, to secure a berth in the first-ever all-EPL Champions League final. The former Liverpool defender still bleeds Anfield Red through-and-through, so keep your fingers crossed for him.
Will you be cheering for the Reds or the Blues this afternoon?

Is it possible that both lose? Like, maybe the reds win at the cost of all of their players’ souls?
Moreover, can both lose, then beat United? I vote for the whole thing to be called off. Sorry Stevie.

I was hoping Barça won… All English final? Yuck.

Stevie picking against his own Reds…priceless.

Better dead than red!

Well done on tv today Mr. Nicol. You were the lone bright spot for this rather depressed Liverpool fan.
Anyone else having trouble on figuring out who to blame? I think Rafa has to get it because he took off Torres. Otherwise, Chelsea just showed their class and how tough they can be when Drogba shows up.

Aww, I have to start re-scheduling my days off from work so I can catch this stuff! Or just remember to set my DVR once in a while.

I was wondering if Shalrie gave Steve more fashion advice before the television appearance?!?
Good win for Chelsea. I was happy Frank Lampard got to play…and score in such a difficult time for him.
