I have no idea how this soccer business works over in Europe. I just watched Manchester United beat Hull City on Comcast Sports Net, and now, 45 minutes later, Man U is playing again, this time against FC Barcelona. I guess tonight they’ll fly across the pond and play the Mets tomorrow in a doubleheader.
I took Man U and the over (2.5) so spoil away if you want. Here’s video of the finish of last year’s UEFA Champions League final (is there a shorthand for that?), where Man U beat Chelsea on penalty kicks. Hey, they’re playing in the rain. But where are their sticks? I know nothing about soccer…

Whoever loses plays the Duke men’s basketball team in a consolation game.
Punte, admitting you know nothing about soccer but still betting on it is very admirable in a degenerate sort of way.
Aw shit…
They run around like fairys and wear short shorts…
I shall pass.
Does Rodney Dangerfield coach either of these teams?
No, you go to hell, and while you’re there, why don’t you grab me a juicebox!
I just cracked open a beer and turned this on. How’d Barca score?
Semi-flukey goal in transition…13th minute or so…
GOAL BARCELONA!!! The Catalan club score with their first real attack. Andres Iniesta gets past Anderson too easily and finds Eto’o who cuts inside Nemanja Vidic and toe pokes the ball under Edwin van der Sar from close range.

-1 for posting about soccer without any pics of hot soccer WAGs.
@UU
I don’t understand anything you just said.
@Taco, either do I, I copied and pasted it from Yahoo sports.
Agreed Taco…it was like a foreign language to me.
Although toe poke made me giggle.
That goal wasn’t semi-flukie.
Neither is this shit I’m taking at halftime.
@Matt: I hate you and your weekday afternoon beer drinking, careless sport watching job.
A good toe poke usually does…
Dimpie…I have MLB up on one screen and porn on the other, and doing billing on my third monitor and a redbull vodka on my desk.
I have the best boss ever.
Enrico brings up an interesting fact:
Soccer killed Jonathan Brandis
That’s cool, I have WL buried under other tabs, a hole in my pocket lining (for obvious reasons), and a general paranoia.
@Mrs – you all hiring?
POST!
ILPHAPH….
You’d have to ask Mr. Parker…
I fuck my boss too but i still have to hide the vodka in my gatorade until after 2.
GOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL BARCELONA!!!!!!!
Leo Messi puts Man U down two in the 71st minute.
fuck me a second time…
Aren’t you supposed to be singing OLE OLE O—Leee….when they make a goal?
Is anyone else impressed by how well done this championship is?
