Day of Champions


Today is a good day to become a fake soccer fan if you have some free time this afternoon.

The UEFA Champions League final is today (2:30 ESPN). It pits defending champs Manchester United against Barcelona – a truly sterling matchup hyped more for the strikers (Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi) than the actual teams.

Remember last year, when the final went to PKs and Ronaldo (the A-Rod of soccer as dubbed by WKFTB) was weeping after missing his shot? This could be as dramatic of a finish.

Both ManU and Barcelona are LOADED. ManU has Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez, and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. Barcelona boasts Messi, Xavi, Thierry Henry, and my boyyyyy Samuel Eto’o.

I’m feeling a ManU repeat if for no other reason than I think Barca should have lost to Chelsea.

Either way, if you have a free afternoon or you’re a loser like me and work from home most of the week, tune up the HD, kick back on the couch and watch a crispy game.
