too exited about the final, Go Barça! Already ordered big tasty pizza . Its only happens once a year , so definitely a must see match.

Since its the final, you cant really predict who's gonna come on top, i think Barça is slightly favored , but man Manchester is too strong . Also im exited about Giggs playing with , what is, 38 years old ? Got so much respect for him, hes a really an example of what dedication to football is.

Barcelona 3 - 2 Man U

Not a huge Man U fan - but it's truly the two best teams of the tournament clashing together and I think its gonna be a great match. Looking forward to it.

PS: Liverpool fan here ^^

Predicting Barca to win, think I'm cheering for them as well, but mostly just hoping for a good game.

Looks like the starting lineups are:

Man Utd: Van der Sar; Fabio, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Park; Rooney Hernandez

Barcelona: Valdes; Abidal, Mascherano, Pique, Alves; Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta; Pedro, Villa, Messi

Obvious news here is United will (I assume) be in 4-4-1-1 rather than 4-5-1
Berbatov left out entirely (ruins my dream ending of Berba scoring the winning goal)
Puyol starts off on the bench. Perhaps a nod to Mascherano's prowess at negating breakaway goals

Such a beautiful team, too bad the clip doesn't include all the dives

Wow that is an awesome clip :D And that was from the first game i believe 5-0. There were no dives in that game... that game was surprisingly open because at the time RM was on a hot streak and they really thought they could beat Barca so they played attacking and got pwned.

off to the game...... hoping ManU win for sure, I like Barca but their fans and play acting have been too much for me this season.

Probably a boring 2-0

Pretty pumped about this, I don't like how the USA coverage though is sorta "American's know nothing about soccer". They just had Michael Stratham describe a few random things about soccer, lol.

Real surprised at the united lineup. Giggs makes no sense unless Fletcher isn't fully fit, Rooney will have to drop deep so much and/or Park/Valencia cut in a ton or they'll just get overrun in midfield

Giggs has been arguably our best midfielder this season.

Rooney will probably drop back into the midfield to track Busquets. They need Park to track Alves.

I would have preferred Fletcher over Carrick, or even Park over Carrick with Nani on the left wing (if Park can play inside). But Fergie has more faith in Carrick than most ManU fans do...

This, so much this. I'm tired of everyone rushing to kiss Barca's ass anytime they win.

This should be a real delight to watch. The opening 20 minutes will be hugely important, if Barca can manage to get their dominating style going, without conceding in the first 20, I believe they will be in an extremely strong position to go on and win the game. If Man Utd can get at Barcelona, pressure them and stop them playing in the first 20 minutes, it is important they get a goal and capitalize as they will not be able to do it all game long. Tactically this is going to be really intriguing and the inclusion of Hernandez in Man Utd's starting lineup means they will always have the threat of scoring on the counter-attack. I feel that Giggs and Carrick will be dominated in the centre of the park, even with Rooney tracking back to help out, Fletcher is a big miss. I can't wait!
