I switched shifts with a coworker and am now able to watch the game of the year. :ccr:
I doubt it'll be the game of the year. Finals hardly ever live up to expectations.
Anyway I hope Barca win tonight.

Liep

I predict that this is good for the game. Go Barca!

Yeah hopefully man u will commit more men forward and Barca can score on the counter attack.

Liep

Go Barca!

Full offense by Manchester and we'll get a fun ending.

Yay Barca!

Messi, Iniesta and Xavi were brilliant today.

I can only pray they can rebound against the Fightin' Timmays on Friday.

:thumbsup: That was the going vibe in the bar I work at today while we watched.  There was one girl there who was a Man U fan because "Cristiano Ronaldo is so hott!".  Ugh.  Needless to say she was verbally abused.

When the game is done Austin will look like a gazelle torn to pieces by a pack of wild dogs.

Yesterday three great players retired from active football:
Paolo Maldini, Luis Figo and Pavel Nedved were not only excellent players, but great men outside the pitch, too.
Figo and Nedved won the European Footballer of the Year award, and Maldini deserved it but defenders usually get no love in those competitions :(


:worthy: Maldini
:worthy: Nedved
:worthy: Figo

Figo, a great person outside the field? No way, the guy had no loyalty whatsoever (a 1 in most CM and FM versions, IIRC) to the clubs he was related to, he was a true mercenary of sport. Surely he was a great player, but not a great person. Don't know enough of the others' lives in order to qualify, although Maldini has always seemed upstanding to me, specially in his opposition to ultras.

Yeah, Figo not only was a merc (which ain't that much of a problem except for pinky-fogged fans of the sport), he was a downright traitor. You just don't go from noble Barcelona to scum Real Madrid if you have just a tiny bit of backbone.
And I never liked Nedved, altough clearly both him and Figo were excellent in their primes.



But Maldini was indeed a great player, European football is a lesser thing without him.
