A Classic In The Making

By CLS

This upcoming May 27 the sports world will witness what might be the biggest matchup of the year. No, I am not talking about any of the handful of teams still scrapping it out in the NBA or NHL conference finals this game looks to be much more serious than any of these North American contests. I am talking about the UEFA Champions League finals in Rome, between English Premiership League champions, Manchester United, and their Spanish league counterparts, Barcelona.

For those of you who have been locked in a secret CIA prison in Eastern Europe or happen to just reside in the continental United States, this event has probably escaped your attention, but mark my words this will be the most important sporting event to take place in 2009. Even if you are not a soccer fan, this is an excellent opportunity for you to see what you have been missing all of these years.

Kickoff is at 2:45pm EST, on May 27. I’m calling Barcelona by one goal.
