UEFA Championship


ESPN2
FC Barcelona vs. Arsenal FC
Wed., May. 17 at 2:30 pm ET

This game has serious deja vu. Its eerilly similar to last year. The underdog English squad versus the powerhouse from the european mainland that is supposed to clean their clock. This game features probably my two favorite players. Thierry Henry for Arsenal and Ronaldinho for Barcelona. Ronaldinho is hands down the best player in the world. His dribbling is just amazing, and he can do things with the ball that are just mind boggling. However, the more I watch Henry the more I like him. He's just a hard nosed player with so much talent. In Arsenals semi final match vs Villareal he basically had a poor game, but did what few stars, especially forwards, ever do. He tracked back on D. He even made a couple of key stops to slow down the Villa attack. In the day of me first egos and ESPN highlights. There just aren't many athletes in any sport who do the little things. I'm personally looking forward to this match. Its the Aresnal D, which hasn't conceded a goal the entire tournament vs the star power of Barcelona. It should be an awesome game.
