Champions League

[kpac]

Anybody following the Champions League (or European Cup)?

It's basically the biggest soccer/football club championship in the world. The best teams in Europe compete every year and the final is on Wednesday night at 7:45 GMT, between Manchester Utd and Barcelona.

What'ya think?

[Aegis]

USA!  USA! I mean, LOL! LOL!  (If the US played.)   

[kpac]

Aah...Sure, just get better at soccer LOL

[Broni]

I'll surely watch it...

[2x3i5x]

what is david beckham doing noiw? I thought he was with LA Galaxy, then he wanted to sign with A.C. Milian which didn't work out and I think I heard about him wanting to leave the Galaxy so that he can concentrate on soccer with his England team? What's going on? 

[Broni]

He's on a lease from Galaxy to Milan.
Signing up with MLS was like a bad joke....

[kpac]

He's on a lease from Galaxy to Milan.
Signing up with MLS was like a bad joke....

A five year bad joke worth $250 million...

[Broni]

Yep. For that money, they could have had 10 decent European, or Latin America players.
I watched quiet a few games of Galaxy, when Beckham played for them.
You can't expect even the best player to do anything with a team, where half of the players are not able to make, or receive a good pass.

[kpac]

Beckham isn't great anyway, in my opinion.

So........predictions?
FCB: 2-2 Utd.
Barca to score in 1st half extra time and then win.

Well, that's what I'm hoping for anyways, being a Barca fan....

[Broni]

How can you live in UK, and be Barca's fan?....LOL
I don't know about final score, because Barca should be better, but ManU scored so many lucky goals in the past...

[kpac]

Excuse me!!

Location: Tipperary, Ireland

So, who am I to support? Cork FC? Drogheda United? St. Patrick's Athletic? LOL

[Broni]

Oh, I'm sorry man for the insult. I'm terribly sorry.
I know what you feel. It's like someone called me Russian

[kpac]

Oh no, it's alright. 

[Broni]

BTW, the song "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" is about your town, isn't it?

[kpac]

Yup.

It's a Long Way to Tipperary

Up to mighty London came
An Irish lad one day,
All the streets were paved with gold,
So everyone was gay!
Singing songs of Piccadilly,
Strand, and Leicester Square,
'Til Paddy got excited and
He shouted to them there:

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.

Paddy wrote a letter
To his Irish Molly O',
Saying, "Should you not receive it,
Write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in "spelling",
Molly dear", said he,
"Remember it's the pen, that's bad,
Don't lay the blame on me".

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square,
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.

Molly wrote a neat reply
To Irish Paddy O',
Saying, "Mike Maloney wants
To marry me, and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly,
Or you'll be to blame,
For love has fairly drove me silly,
Hoping you're the same!"

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square,
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.
