Liverpool FC News

An FYI to visitors to this blog (Hi Mom). Today Liverpool became the fourth English side to reach the Champions League quarter-finals with victory against Inter Milan at the San Siro.

I was only able to see the second half, but it seemed that Inter decided not to come out and play today. Excellent goal from Torres.

The win gives England a powerful presence in the closing stages of the competition, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal joining Liverpool in the last eight - the first time any country has dominated the Champions League in such a fashion.

Beatles to headline in Liverpool

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will pay tribute to their native city when Liverpool becomes European Capital of Culture next year.

The ex-Beatle will headline a June 1 concert for more than 30,000 people at Liverpool Football Club's Anfield stadium.

Starr — along with Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart and the Liverpool Symphony Orchestra — will lead the opening ceremony Jan. 12 with "Liverpool The Musical," a tribute to the city's musical heritage.
