Despite what Americans asy about their ”football”, and SuperBowls, and all those numerous college Bowls so every one can be happy, the King of sports is Soccer, aand nothin can compare to the UEFA Cahmapions League Final, and the World Cup Final.
American Football and Baseball, will always be something like deranged offspring of the real football and cricket.

FORÇA BARÇA!!!!!
Just ran circles around the red devil bastards, from Eto’o's first blood to Messi’s deathblow… pure beautiful football wins over the English slugfest again!

as an American I don’t know much about soccer, only that Cristiano Ronaldo is super hot. But seriously, what’s up with the stabbings? http://www.newsy.com/videos/champions_league_showdown
How common is that in Rome?

Since this is ACL…what do people think of their team’s latest kits? I’m a gooner, and I DESPISE both out current home and away kits, the home one with it’s utterly silly white stripe down the arm (as opposed to the traditional all-white sleeve) we’ll keep for next season, ugh, but we’re getting rid of the bizarre away kit of this season, that never failed to remind me of kid’s PJ’s.—thankfully it was a one-off. The new away kit for next year is getting mixed reviews but I really dig it, dark blue with pinstripes (supposedly Ozwald Boateng had a hand in it). Any Blues fans have thoughts on your new home shirt for next year, with the odd breast-plate look? Lastly…Arsenal in the CL final next year, bank it. And I’d look for ManU to slice up Barca’s back line, never the strongest, now a mess from injuries and suspensions.

…indeed, refreshing to see people posting about football with a sartorial restraint!

Having said that…Barcelona…”mostly home-grown players”!?!

If you like clothes and soccer, check out Awaydays, a story of fashion and football set in the late 1970s. Seriously, if you love ACL you’ll love this.

Brilliant post on the CL…Im not surprised though as the most fashionable people are football fans…I would love it if Barcelona wins the Champions League..I believe they deserve it with the way they play with their brand of beautiful, attacking football using mostly home-grown players from their own academy….Messi being the most celebrated one to emerge…in contrast to Manchester who have bought mostly foreigners (Vidic, Park, Ronaldo, Tevez, Van der Sar)…Yes, both teams play attacking football but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see which team plays the more beautiful and effective attacking game…remember Barcelona humiliated Real 6-2 with a scintillating display of attacking team football led by Xavi and Iniesta…

Barca to win the champions League because they deserve it!!!
