I know most of you don't watch English football(soccer), but I do and I am proud to say that Manchester United have pulled off the double! Not only are they the Champions of England by virtue of finishing on top of the Barclay's Premier League,but they then turn around and beat their nemesis, Chelsea on penalty kicks in Moscow to take home the Champion's League trophy to become Champion's of Europe.

This was the 1st time ever in the Champion's League history that 2 English teams made the final and it just so happened that they were 1 and 2 in the final standings in the BPL. Congrats to Man United and all of their players. Glory, Glory Man United!!!

i have to say...that game was ridiculously long... and i likeManchester Utd, but Ronaldo deserved to miss that, his pause was much longer than normal and deserved a card for it. Regardless Van Der Sar is and has been a phenominal keeper for years. He was just as good with Juve, he is an asset to their team. Chelsea had horrible shot selection, 24 attempts and only 3 shots on goal whereas United had 12 shots and 5 on goal. fun game to watch though...im more of an Arsenal fan personally...but I despise Chelsea haha

I thought for sure that was going to be it when Ronaldo missed. I hate the stutter step myself. All credit to Chelsea for a good match, but it could have easily been 3-1 at half. Way to go Scholes and Giggsy. Pure class those two.

As for Arsenal, I always enjoy watching them play when they are on form. Beautiful football.
