    I know there are not much soccer fans in North America :rolleyes:

    Anyone gonna watch the two best team in the world face off? :cool:

    Even though I want Barcelona to win, ManU is better team imo :)

    What do y'all think? :confused:

    I hope DaDakota will be able to post -- I can't remember if he was going to be at the game or a pub. From the game on a iPhone or whatever would be sweet.

    Hoping to find a good quality link to watch at work. Can't get it on ESPN 360 for some reason. I have a bet with a group I work with in California on this. They're big Barca fans. If I lose, I have to go out there and take them out for drinks. If I win, I probably still have to take them out for drinks...but work pays so it's win win.

    My prediction is 3-2 Man U.

    GO DEVILS!

    I'm looking forward to this match, I hope Man U wins it, I'm a big fan of Van der Sar. I think this will be a great game. Everybody enjoy.

    The 2 best teams in the world, with the 2 best players in the world. It should be fun. I expect United to come out and defend and hope to hurt Barca on the counter, just like they did in the semis last year.

    I'll be at Richmond Arms, drinking and singing my heart out.

    Damn, the soccer fans really take the sport so seriously. :confused: I can't see that happening for NBA fans.

    They just showed some interesting stats on Sky Sports. In the 11 games Messi and Ronaldo have played against each other, Messi has outscored, outshot and had more assists than Ronaldo by a 2 to 1 ratio.

    I still want United to win, but I am rooting for a good game.

    This game, everywhere else in the world, is at least as big as (if not bigger) than The Super Bowl...especially this year. Like RocketFan007 said, it's the 2 best teams on the planet with the 2 best players on the planet. Both teams have extraordinarily passionate fans.

    The closest thing we have here in the States is the NFL. Imagine if Raider fans were even crazier. Then, you'd have what the everyday fan in these countries are like.
