Those were two really great 2nd legs - and how about that strike from Scholes? Unreal...
Chelsea v. Man Utd down to the wire in the Premier League and then Chelsea v. Man Utd for the Champs League. Awesome. Very happy to see two English teams in the final.

Fiorentina took fourth place in the classifica over AC Milan today qualifying them for the Champions League next year. I feel the need to say this since people have been honking their horns ALL DAY outside and I can hear it through my window.

KG, do you watch the champions league in the US? If so, how do you get it? They often have the later rounds (after the group stages) on ESPN2, I think its usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm.

Thanks, Hometown, I've been watching it over here in Europe, and it's become something I've been accustomed to having. Good to hear it'll still be there when I get back.

There are plenty of international sports that are either difficult or costly to follow from the US, but Champions League soccer is not one of them and has been on ESPN for at least 8 years (since my study-abroad days). The major European domestic leagues are also pretty easy to watch so long as you are not too hungover on Saturday mornings (no comment here)- Fox Soccer Channel (Premiership, some Serie A) and Gol TV (La Liga, South America, maybe Bundesliga?) give you a decent selection, and many pubs with satellite packages will fill in the rest, and typically without the $20/head charges you get when you want to watch international rugby, e.g.

if you have directv you can order a channel called setanta...setanta is for the hardcore crazies that just have to see everything (me)....you can catch pretty much all of the games between espn2 and setanta....fox soccer covers the uefa cup
espn is really expanding their soccer coverage...this summer espn/espn2/abc/espn classic will show all of the euro championships...4 years ago i had to order a package that cost about 180 for the whole tournament...now its free...YES!

I think three or four of Liverpool's group stage matches were on ESPN this year. Helped get TV time since they made it so dramatic.

I can't believe it was all setting up so beautifully for Ronaldo to be the goat and then Terry slipped and blew it. I have no love for Terry, but man I was pulling for that preening jerk to have to be the one who lost it.

PK's are an awful way to decide such an important championship, but my God they're dramatic!
I sort of wish that for big finals like that they'd go NHL-style and just keep playing until they get a winner, no matter how long it takes!

I'd like to see the goalies be the mandatory 6th shooter if they aren't amongst the first 5 shooters in penalty kicks. Goalies scoring on other goalies in pks is an awesome part of the game.
