So, who's tuning into the Champions League final this afternoon? soccernet.com will have it on GameCast.
On another note, the Revolution are undefeated, the US plays England on Saturday afternoon and my indoor team kicked ass last night. We won both games handily and play for the title in two weeks.
Ironweed - is O'Neill's leaving a good thing?

I was talked into watching the FA Cup final by a friend of mine from the UK who supports anyone but ManU. ManU should have won, there were a few highlights, but that game demonstrated why soccer will never catch on in the US as a spectator sport. 120 minutes of a nil-nil draw and decided by the sporting equivalent of a coin toss. If I gave a shit about either team I might not have found it such a painful waste of time.
I will check the scores on the CL final but after this weekend I really couldn't give a shit.
O'Neill's leaving is most definitely not a good thing, especially since his likely replacement is Gordon Strachan, a mediocre (and currently unemployed) manager who left his last coaching job in Southampton complaining of "stress." O'Neill's heart hasn't been in the job this year, mainly I think due to his wife's illness, but he is still the best manager the club has had since Jock Stein. We are in a world of shit.
ETA: did I mention that I don't give a shit enough in the above post? Good god.
