Manchester United vs. Barcelona

May 28, 2011 (if this date is wrong, I'm sorry - going off the top of my head, so it's close, but might not be the actual date)

Man U has been in great form recently and I've been a huge fan since I was old enough to really watch and understand Soccer/Football.

Barcelona seems to be the better team though, with a very strong midfield.

Thoughts on how the match will turn out?

I am a huge ManU fan and have been forever. I was born just outside Manchester and visited Old Trafford many times before moving to Canada. I would hope that they will prevail in that match but Barca is not an easy team to play against.

I'm rooting for Barcelona. They got some stupid players like Busquets and Pedro, but I love the play style and precision in their game. And of course, Messi is exceptional.

United is a tough team to beat, that's for sure. They don't have as many of the experienced superstars they had a couple of years ago, but Ferguson is a really good coach and has really got the team going good. Hopefully it will be an entertaining match.

I would definitely prefer Barcelona to win. Not much of a fan of either, but much more Barcelona than ManU.

I think the game will end up being Barcelona vs. Fergie.

As has been said, Man U is not the better team in the competition. We don't have a lot of big names. We have a few guys who are in great shape right now and one of the best coaches of the modern era, and that is the game that Man U will play in the final I think.

I think it will be interesting to see how Fergie plays the boys against Barca.

Honestly, I believe that so long as Scholes stays on the bench, we'll be okay.

Wouldn't Chelsea be more like the Yankees? They're the right color and buy all their players, just like the Yanks...

Both are close. Both buy the most expensive players and hope to god they play well together :P     Besides, Man U are actually OWNED by the people who own the yankees lol. Chelsea are just trying to hard to catch up to MU in how much money is wasted and the amount of pompous brats on the field. I was quite happy to see Torres absolutely fail for a few months until he at least scored 1 goal :P I mean the final is essentially the UK Yankees vs the Spanish Yankees as they both have a pension for doing it. Barca I think is just more famous for outright buying expensive people :P

That's about what I was thinking it would be. If Barca win, it won't be a rout IMO. I would be very surprised if Man U won flat out and not by PKs or something.

Nice to see some United fans on here.

I think United will win. 2-0. Rio and Vidic at the back. There is nothing Messi can do to fool those two. They are the 2 most solid full backs in the game.

Hernandez and park will score

Could you have been more wrong I doubt it!

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him

    • Got off to probably one of my best starts ever last night.   Was -1 thru 5 and finished the front 9 with a +1 (37).   The back 9 wasn't very good but we were playing speed golf to try and beat the darkness.   Ended up with 37/44 for an 81.   Still a great score for me.    My last 5-6 rounds have all contributed to my handicap index so we trending in the right direction.
    • I don't see the swing speed as any advantage or disadvantage either way. While they don't have the "WOW!" factor that some of the men have. i.e. "Did you see Rory's 380 yard drive on 17!" That kind of thing. They do, however, play the courses shorter. I think their average LPGA Tour course is like 6400 yards, compared to 7300 for the men. So when I watch it on TV it looks kinda the same. They hit driver then 8 iron, just like the men hit driver then 8 iron. I don't really care that the hole is 100 yards shorter or whatever.  Let me put it another way. If I was to watch the WNBA and then watch the NBA, I would immediately notice how much slower the players are. How much more the men play above the rim. etc... Why? Because the court is the same size. The hoop is the same height. When I watch the LPGA Tour and then watch the PGA Tour, I don't notice (as much). They hit driver then 5 iron into a par-5 just like the men do. Because the course is smaller, it looks similar. BTW - The same is true of softball vs baseball. The softball diamond is much smaller. So, the line shots look similar, there are equally as many home runs, because the field is smaller it looks pretty similar in play.  Here's where to my way of thinking, they can make some hay. If the LPGA Tour was to lead the way in terms of pace of play they may be able to add additional excitement to their game and possibly start to make some converts. I'm an idiot who has never been a sports commissioner. But it seems that when MLB noticed their games started approaching 4 hours and Major League Soccer was always done in under 2 hours. They made changes to try to improve and it seems to be working.  With the LPGA Tour it seems you either need exciting personalities or need exciting play. If they improve the pace of play issue it could add to exciting play. Again, I'm no expert but that seems like an area they could lead instead of follow. It does seem they've recognized this. So, we shall see.
