Ronaldo Headlines

I haven't blogged anything soccer related for quite sometime. So I'll give you three...
First, the Champions League final is set for May 21 in Moscow. It will pit two English Premier League heavyweights, Manchester United and Chelsea. I am not totally thrilled about it because I really enjoy the cross-border appeal of the Champions League, so a final with two teams that have played each other a half dozen times already this year is a little anti-climactic. Regardless, I will be finding someway to escape from school a bit early that day so I can watch. :)
Secondly, a little Beckham footage. He scored a brace (two goals in one game) last week and both were pretty nice. Check them out, that first one is a cracker and the second is a textbook unsaveable Beckham free kick.
Lastly, a headline on Soccernet was so ridiculous and bizarre I just had to share it, "Tranny Hookers Admit Lying About Ronaldo." It is actually a serious story that has had some major fallout, including loss of girlfriend and sponsors. More complete details here .

I just watched a soccer movie, not the best, actually very weak but hey, it was soccer. Gracie, supposed to be like Bend It Like Beckham, it wasn't. But since last night's storm took out the cable and tv service, it was a good night for videos. Also watched Charlie Wilson's war, Weak.

beckham makes it look easy to nail the upper 90 of sidenetting from 30 yards.
