I upgraded my workstation to RedHat 9 today. It was quite painless. The worst bit was actually migrating my old postgresql database to the newer version. The latest version has a new internal format, which means I had to dump the data from the old database, remove the old database, initialise the new database and restore my tables and data. Then I had to get the configuration right. Anyway, my blog is back online after being offline for about three hours.
So it’s gonna be Juventus and AC Milan in the Champions’ League final. I can’t believe Juve beat Real Madrid. Real did not play the best of matches, but Juve played very well. It was the most attacking display I’ve seen from an Italian club for quite a while. Figo missed a penalty and Montero should have been sent off, so a few things went Juve’s way. Nevertheless, on that performance, they deserve to be in the final. Unfortunately, Nedved will miss the final due to suspension. He picked up a needless yellow card towards the end. Juve won’t be the same team without him. He’s been their best all season, and scored a wonderful goal in the semi-final. So, Juve go through 4-3 on aggregate. Milan go through courtesy of the away goals rule. The stupid thing is that both of their games were at the same ground! Inter share the same ground as AC Milan. However, the first leg was Milan’s home game, and the second leg was their away game. The first game finished 0-0. The second finished 1-1, so the aggregates scores were equal, but Milan scored an "away" goal, so they go through. Given Juve’s willingness to play attacking football, I’ll support them for the final.
