nope. BBC Five Live just cut away and said it isn't available for streaming. Back to ESPN2.

According to this comment in Ask MetaFilter there are ways to watch online, but I haven't been able to get them to work for me.

It was me, myself and I in those chatrooms today. I assume others have real jobs, or were in the pubs. I won't spoil the result in case some people recorded the game.

If Clarence Seedorf recorded it, he still won't be able to find himself on the tape. I've never seen a Milan team give the ball away so easily. And Mascherano did a fantastic job on Kaka. But, two seconds after Rafa takes him off...

They should have given the trophy to Herbert Fandel.

bill -- just out of curiosity, what decisions of Fandel were questionable? I was watching in Spain and don't understand Catalan (or Castillian Spanish, for that matter), so couldn't really get a sense of whether the announcers were outraged over any calls. I thought there was a bit of time wasting by Milan towards the end that should have resulted in more injury time and/or cards and the final whistle seemed a bit quick, but other than that it seemed pretty fairly officiated to me.

What holden said. I'm a Liverpool fan - I mean I bleed red... yeah - but I'd have to say I thought he was pretty good. Rafa came on the pitch at the end and looked like he was complaining about time (wasting and keeping), but he may instead have had some straws up his sleeve and been clutching at them, it was hard to tell. Milan didn't play all that well, but Liverpool were blunt. They need a world-class striker and a proper world-class midfielder who has more than guts and hunger like Gerrard has. They need some swagger, damn it.

The first goal came off Inzaghi's arm and that changed the whole game. That's what I meant. Benitez should have started Crouch instead of Alonso, though that's separate from Herr Fandel's mistakes.

BBC Five Live is streaming the game's audio. So far it isn't being blocked in the US.
