Imagine your reaction if before the season started someone had told you Villa would be five points behind Liverpool with two games in hand after twenty one games.
Without a doubt he played in the best team, man for man, I have ever seen live. The Juve team that night was the very definition of Star Studded.
Zoff, Gentile, Cabrini, Bonini, Brio, Scirea, Bettaga, Tardelli, Rossi, Platini, Boniek.
I wasn't going to go to this but got a ticket at late notice. I was at the Saturday game but had to leave early to catch the last train home. It went on for so long I had the leave in the middle of the fourth but by then I'd had enough anyway. The game was a farce although I'm sure for people who went for the "experience" it was great. The field was way too small and it was clear the pitchers were struggling for whatever reason. It felt like an exhibition game. I've tried to explain to people that wasn't normal baseball but they just see the hits and the runs.
I doubt very much I'll bother going again unless The Mets are involved.
On the plus side it was great seeing lots of UK based baseball fans who'd never had the chance to see a game before having the chance. Shame it turned out to be such a farce.
