European Champions League Final tonight

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Tonight in Rome the European Cup is being played for by the two best football (soccer LOL) teams in the world - Manchester United and Barcelona.

I'm kind of torn myself, Man U aren't a great favourite of mine, but as they've been coached by a Glaswegian for over twenty years, we see it up here as a win for Glasgow, and they have the Portugese Christiano Ronaldo, debatably the best player in the world, and the Englishman Wayne Rooney

And Barcelona, the Catalan giants, have the Argentian Lionel Messi, the other candidate for best player in the world.

I'm just hoping for a great game and a peaceful aftermath, after three died in Glasgow and one in Northern Ireland on Sunday after the Scottish League was decided.

So who will YOU be rooting for?

Long days and pleasant nights

Manchester United is the best one football team, undoubtedly. I am waiting with all my hopes which Man U are able to secure their position. Just Do It!

Hoping to see a match to remember for years John !
great teams that anyone enjoys to watch and they go for the goal not just the defense.. that's what football (soccer) is all about
Ferguson is the most succesfull coach on the planet no doubt and there is so much talent in both teams..
both teams won their countries' championships the english and the spanish the two most difficult of the world.. what else can I say

I'm for Manchester, but it isn't looking too good for them at the moment 0-2!

[LOTUS]

Well,I'm totally not happy about it,but the team that played better won.
Congrats to the fans.

Hi,

Ah well, worthy winners, congrats to Barcelona on their 2-0 victory.

I thought Messi, Iniesta and Puyol were outstanding, and no contentious refereeing decisions for a change this season.

Long days and pleasant nights

'Twas a decent game, I thought. Would have been better between Barca and Arsenal, but there you go.

Hey John, didn't know about the deaths in Glasgow. Obviously heard about the Northern Ireland one because of the news exposure. Wonder why there's not been much of a squeak about the Scottish ones?
I guess, again, football will be blamed but really it was only the focal point. We all know what was really to blame, don't we? (Well, what two things, one being human nature.)
