This makes no sense. This is the final everybody dreamt of before hand.
The best possible final would be between two English Premier League teams, because those teams are the best.

Well I would've preferred a Liverpool Vs Man U or Liverpool Vs Barca final. Maybe next year.

Damn my favorite MLS club Seattle has announced the 2nd of 2 friendlys they are hosting the summer, first one is Chelsea and 2nd was revealed today to be Barcelona.

Wish i could make them

Now you've gone mental. Barcelona is a better team than Chelsea ever was. A ManU - Barca final is the dream matchup for everybody but the Chelsea fans. And we don't care about those.

What the flying fuck.

Chelsea DOMINATED Barcelona tactically for two games. They neutralized all the advantages the enemy had, and ruined all their plans - showing what a genius general Hiddink is.

Then comes this fucking joke of a referee who denies app. 3 penalties for Chelsea, and thus allows Barca to stay in the game and equalize with THEIR ONLY FUCKING SHOT WHICH WENT TO THE FUCKING GOAL'S GENERAL DIRECTION

A most undeserved qualification.

:yes:

Haha, no way Barca were a better team than Chelsea. Passing the ball the whole game with barely any shots on goal, and only going through because of questionable refereeing, does not a superior performance make. While attacking football is attractive, it is not the only legitimate way to win a game.

I predict ManUre will rip Barca to shreds - you have one of the most effective defences in the Premiership with one of hte most frightening attacks in the world. And a midfield that will squash Messi.

Seattle got off to a pretty good start Katmai. Glad the franchise is working there.
I've been to three TFC games this year. It's such a blast.

They certainly weren't the better team this week.  They were barely equal.

The only reason that it's a dream matchup is because everybody, myself included, want to give the finger to the Chelsea fans, as they're a bunch of bandwagoners and Slavs.

The mighty Austin Soccer club has never lost a match.  Tonight they take on the Puerto Rico Fightin' Timmays in Austin.

Dang it I can never make any of the matches.

So, tomorrow is the big day of the year for us footie fans, the Champions League final, pitting the incumbent champions, Manchester United, agains FC Barcelona, arguably the team that has played better this year. The best defence meets the best offence. What will happen?

I'll watch it live at home with my buddies. Tomorrow I'll have to buy supplies in large quantities after work. My friends even convinced me to make a wager, if Barcelona wins I'll shave my beard, which I've been sporting since I was 15.

In a surprise move, Volkswagen (yes, the car maker) won the German football championship.

Well I am depressed.  Austin's once unfettered glory has been tarnished by losses to Montreal and Carolina.

I can only pray they can rebound against the Fightin' Timmays on Friday.  I love the crowds at the games so far.  Very passionate and noisy group if still pretty smallish.

I switched shifts with a coworker and am now able to watch the game of the year. :ccr:
