Some for money. Others for fame. I hear recognition over there. Oh, is that love you are saying? Or is it sex? What? Jesus you say? You live for the betterhood of all mankind? Oh please...
But if you live for the thrill of overcoming insurmountable odds, you'll be overjoyed to learn that Liverpool has done exactly that in the 2005 Champions League Finals. Pitting head on against the classy Italians, Gerrrard and his crew know they are the underdogs in this competition. Before the match even started, AC Milan strker Schevchenko laid out their strategy to Benitez, "We will score an early goal and Liverpool will succumb."
It was right on the money. Within the 1st minute, Maldini scored the 1st goal and blasted any momentum Liverpool tried to gather. Before you know it, Crespo scored 2 more.
By halftime, it had become too painful to watch. I could already read all the headlines whining about how Liverpool had a fantastic run and how it had to end somewhere. I even turned off the TV to avoid the tearful faces on Gerrard's face.
And would you have known it? Within a short span of 6 mins, Liverpool evened the match! How they picked up the courage to march up against adversity, I can only guess (Benitez revealed later that they need to hold the scoreline. Not fair to the fans if they lose by 4 or 5).
3 fantastic goals in 6 mins. And 3 brilliant saves by Dudek in the penalty kickout.
Whew.
So, are you 0-3 down in life?
Hang in there. Live for the 2nd half.

Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2GHz, giving the whole system 2 teraflops of overall performance. It will sport 256MB XDR main RAM at 3.2GHz, and it will have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700MHz.
Sony also unveiled the PS3's graphics chip, the RSX "Reality Synthesizer," which is based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision, 1080p resolution, some of the highest HD resolution around. The RSX also has 512MB of graphics render memory and is capable of 100 billion shader operations and 51 billion dot products per second. It also has more than 300 million transistors, larger than any processor commercially available today. It will be manufactured using the 90nm process, with eight layers of metal.
