Champions League Final Today @ 2:45 - Barcelona vs. Manchester United
Should be a fantastic game.

One of the most watched sporting events in the world.

Airs on ESPN. Coverage starts at 2:25.

It is a great matchup. Talk about star power. Messi, Ronaldo, Henri, Rooney, Eto'o ...

Great stuff. Wish I was at home. Hopefully ESPN will show a replay on Classic tonight.

What's the over/under on Tommy Smith's reference to the "ole' onion bag."

I was just at the tire shop talking to them about getting tires for my wife's car. They said they could get it done in about two hours and I told them I had to bring it back tomorrow. I've got important business to attend to.

The new ball seems to have some interesting aerodynamics. Free kicks could be very interesting.

Ronaldo already close to scoring a couple goals.

Do they introduce a new ball before every major tournament. That's got to be frustrating for the players. Particularly goalies.

Valdes definitely had trouble with an early free kick from Ronaldo and Park almost scored on the rebound. On the Barca goal, Van Der Saar and two ManU defenders got schooled by Eto'o.

Free kick ManU - Giggs had a wicked curve on it but it didn't drop enough.

Messi almost tallies another for Barca. Just over the cross bar.

Gerard Pique just misses on a header from a Barca corner. Barca 1 - 0 Manu 36 Min.

Messi taking it to the ManU defense. Meanwhile, Ronaldo's still looking at the ref for calls. 1 min. injury time added

One of my workmates has gone by Bus to Rome. God knows how long that took him. He still didn't have a ticket at the time bu fancied his chances of getting one in Italy.

Barca started to dominate as the game went on. Rooney was very quiet which is unusual.

Seems like the Eto'o goal sucked the wind out of ManU. Up till then it looked like they were going to score first.
