Did you catch that game between Everton FC and Manchester United? I don't root for either club but with nothing good to watch, I kept myself glued onto the game.
And this match is one reason why it is never over until it's over. The Red Devils know the feeling of late strikes to steal a game. Oh, Oliver Khan remembers that. As do Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
With Manchester United headed towards a win in Goodison Park with the score at 3-1 and in stoppage time, the Toffees come back with a pair of goals from Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta's late strikes.
The game had this surreal atmosphere to it even if local lad Wayne Rooney was absent (kept off the squad for the game lest the locals heap even more abuse on him following reports about his infidelity).
And the comeback was on! But you gotta take notice of the guys who scored.
For Everton, there was Steven Pienaar, the South African who scored the opener. Cahill is Australian while Arteta is Spanish.
For the Red Devils who scored, Darren Fletcher is Scottish, Nemanja Vidic is Serbian, and Dimitar Berbatov is Bulgarian.
Guess the EPL should be renamed the "World Premier League" since most of the stars are foreign anyways.
