If anyone wants to know why so many people love soccer, just watch Barcelona v Chelsea which is on now- twill be a real classic..

Last night's games was a bit disappointing, but tonights should be a cracking game Man United v Arsenal.

Barcelona Man United in the final, the one everyone has been waiting for, the two best teams in the world and the two best players in the world (Ronaldo and Messi) on the highest stage in club football. Defo worth watching tomorrow afternoon. Also, Rome, where the final is being staged had adopted a full alcohol ban from tonight until Thursday morning in an attempt to cut down on holliganism.. You just can't trust the British :)

Eager to see how Ferdinand looks in his return. I absolutely LOVE watching Ronaldo play. The man can play the sport like no other. He's also the sole reason that I kick a$$ using Portugal in FIFA.

Ferdinand and Vidic work so well together that it will be huge for United if they can reunite the partnership. Ronaldo is a smashing player, but for me, Messi is the best player in the world, he can get by pretty much any player and doesnt dive unlike Ronaldo. He doesnt score as many goals as he should though..

I'm looking forward to it, but have to wait until after work. I will have to stay away from here so Irish doesn't spoil it for me with his updates.

:)

same I want to see the replay without knowing the score.

Trying to figure out how.

Messi in the most entertaining of any of the players
to watch right now imo. This kid is incredible.

save yourself 2 hrs and watch espn? all soccer is the same. 1 goal an Almost tying goal. a player falls down, rolls around like he was shot by a sniper, gets carried off, then runs back on the field 2 minutes later. game ends 1-0 and then there is the riot.:p

ha, not far off accurate.

heart wants Barca to win, but head thinks United will have enough strength in defence and since the Barca defence is so makeshift, they should score goals. I want 2-1 Barca but I'll predict 2-1 United..

brockguy 05-28-2009 06:14 PM

nice match last night, Barca gave United a lesson in how to keep the ball. It was a joy to watch. They have so many good attacking players. If they can buy a few decent defenders, they will be near unstoppable..
