Thanks for the heads-up.
I'm hoping for at least 2 goals scored in regulation.

I honestly had no idea that soccer players could handle the ball like that. It was poetry in motion. I'm a giant slappy so naturally I'm cheering for Barcelona only because Messi's on the team and in my 10 minutes of googling, I've determined he's the best player in the world, so Barcelona is now my fav team, haha. Looking forward to the game tomorrow. Stanley Cup game 2, Champions League Finals and hopefully I'll be able to fit in a ball game at some point. Now if only I could convince my 3 kids not to bother me from 2PM on, that'd be great.

Hank, if you ever get a chance to take your son to a TFC game this summer (or in the future) do it. Guarantee you'll both have a great time. BMO is a nice venue, and it's a really entertaining spectacle. Plus, Giovinco is astonishing live against MLS quality competition.

They should just play the match with that awesome blue tarp out there...

Thank god Juve came to play. They may lose 4-0, but at least this is entertaining.

Barca had many chances to put the game away. They didn't, and this is what they deserve as a result.

Barcelona really on their heels since that goal.
