in 180 minutes against Barcelona in CL finals we've looked impotent for about 175 of them. mostly b/c barcelona is just a better team, but also b/c of gameplans that, in hindsight, have obviously been bad. 5/28/2011 5:10:43 PM

Even so, that should be something you can turn off. Particularly when you are doing a broadcast for American viewers. 5/29/2011 7:57:22 AM

Watched the Final last night.
Barca came out and played their game. Dominated in all facets, and deserved the 3-1 win.
It was unusual to see Man U get toyed with through the midfield like that. They spent so much energy chasing that they couldn't get anything done in the 2nd half. You never see a Manchester team so far back on their heels that all they can play is a counter before giving up the ball and not seeing it again for another 5 minutes.
Messi was the best player on the planet and showed up big on the grandest stage again.
Congrats to the Catalan giants
Mes que un club

Also, congrats to all of team woma on a great season (looking at the crowd and applauding them). Together with the EPL thread and this one we generated well over a 100 pages of discussion. That seems like quite an achievement since there are maybe only a dozen regular soccer posters.
Looking forward to some transfer discussion over the next couple of months. 5/30/2011 8:10:33 AM

Also international friendlies and Euro 2012 qualification next week. Netherlands v Brazil on Friday, looking forward to that one. And US v Spain (but that's probably best suited for the other thread). 5/30/2011 8:40:20 AM

I know it doesn't exactly fit in here, but I didn't want to create a new thread...does anyone know if the US team practices in Cary are open to the public? I don't watch the local news much, but I haven't seen a peep out of the local media about the fucking US Men's soccer team practicing for a week in Cary. 5/30/2011 11:00:13 AM
