Slice me open with a swift series of paper cuts to the midsection if I'm wrong about this but I do believe the Champions Leauge final is coming up.

I have a bit of a soft spot for Arsenal...love to see them win it. But *weeps like a schoolgirl who has lost her pencilcase* if I had money on it, it'd be on Barca. I'm having major loyalty issues though, as Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho are probably my two fave players.

(compassion please...remember, I live in Canada. Whatch'all think?

Still ashame we had no penalty kicks...

Then again Arsenal without Lehmann wouldn't have stand much of a chance :)

You forgot about run outs LED. I'll not explain it as it's the most complicated form of wicket and has a few variants.

Sounds like Arsenal should have won though. They had more shots on target than Barcelona (despite being down to 10 men), and it sounded like Barcelona got lucky in the last 15 minutes.

*sighs* There are other ways to Sam, I was giving examples.

Not really luck no... that darn referee could have given a valid goal to Barça instead of excluding the keeper.

The goal of Eto'o and the assist of Henrik Larssen were magnificent!!! Nothing to do with luck...

Still, Arsenal was a very good opponent with only 10 players most of the time.

Speaking of whales and Australia... didn't a whale sink one of their yachts one time?

*is absolutely stoked for Australia*

lol *would have hated to be an Aussie until Cahill came on*! Holy good substitution, batman! Brazil only managed 1-0...y'all are the group leader! Over Ronaldinho et al! That's gotta put the bite in your vegemite!

What a goal this Kaka made!!!! Too bad they didn't give this guy a more suitable name :)

Only 1-0 you say crunchpatty? Croatia has some very decent players and what a goalkeeper! It might not have been the best of games I've seen so far but both teams were a good match for eachother. Now up to Croatia-Australia...
