Hey, for all of you English and European football fans out there, are you watching the Champions League finals between Manchester United and Chelsea?



I'm just an NFL loving American football fan, but I've been told that this matchup is the equivalent of the New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, and Los Angeles Lakers teaming up together to play against a combination of the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, and Boston Celtics. Supposedly the Moscow police and Russian Army have the stadium on lockdown to watch out for hooligans on either side. So who's got a favorite here?

I won't have a favorite until mdiver tells me who to root for. He's my go-to soccer, errrrr, football guy.

It was fucking awesome. A really good game that swung both ways and to end like it did was a dream come true.

That scum sucker Drogba sent off in great fashion and then that idiot Terry missing the possible winning penalty.

I absolutely loved watching the new breed chelsea aholes crying their hearts out

Only 1 club in London with a trophy this year boys

Has anyone seen Karmatornado lately?

He tha man!!!!! He'll be our man next month during the Europeans, captain of my national team!!!


But ofcourse, we'll be gone after just one week.....

It was great to see Ronaldo's penalty being saved I've seen him do that stop mid-run before and its terrible ettiquette.
I dont particulary like any of them but because of the Scottish connection im sort of glad Man U won.

you're saying it was his intention??? I believe he couldn't handle the pressure.....he just majorly fucked up if you ask me!

abierman said:

Nah he does that all the time

mdiver said:

what an idiot.....he should know that that works maybe only 2 times!

abierman said:

I hate that fuck....but i hate Chelscum more

Enjoyed the match. Think it really sucks that they are not able to have a welcome home party because of the scrapping last week. It has nothing at all to do with them.

I saw the final (I luv my satellite ) and I have to say that Chelsea deserved the victory, but you know, this is (european) football: if you don't score your chances, you will pay for it, pure and simple.

Anyway, Terry didn't deserve such punishment ( ), and C.Ronaldo is an overrated brat who truly deserved those three minutes of pure terror and agony that he experienced after missing his (bizarre) penalty
I'm glad for Ferguson, Scholes, Giggs, Ferdinand and Van der Sar, though

Van der Sar, Van der Vaart, Huntelaar, Van Nistelroy, Sneijder, Bouma, Heitinga, Mathijsen, de Jong, Robben, Babel, Kuyt, Van Persie...
GREAT players, all of them. I truly think that the Dutch's national team will arrive to the semifinals, at least.

sure, but they suck as a team.....unfortunately....and we have a stupid trainer...

oh well, we'll see....

abierman said:

JoeTyler said:

yes....

abierman said:

The man was a legend, give him a chance!

JoeTyler said:

as a player he was, we've given him 4 years already and he still doesn't get his shit together.....he makes decisions that no-one understands and aren't convincing, and now we have to face France & Italy in the first round and we're not convinced!

abierman said:

Shit! France and Italy! In the same group?!! jesus, I didn't know that,...good luck, you're gonna need it

PD: Maybe Frank Rijkaard could return to the national team now that he has lfet FCBarcelona...
