Just what I wanted: two teams we either beat or tied at some point. Smiley  It also marks the beginning of the end of Spain's reign. Italy delivers the death blow in our opening Euro match. Wink

Lazio continues to fall, leading to a four way tie for the final CL qualifying spot/third place. Napoli technically holds the third spot for now though. Smiley

Buffon gets cute, dribbling the ball in his box, has it stolen from him and third-from-the-bottom/down a man Lecce score an equalizer in Turin in the 86th minute. That one play might just cost Juve the Scudetto which I, of course, love. I also love Buffon, of course, but I have to enjoy this at his expense.

Has Juve lost this season yet? It'd be an embarrassment to be undefeated and not win the Scuddetto.

They are undefeated. I almost hope they go undefeated (while losing the Scudetto) so Napoli can be the only team to beat them in the Coppa Italia Final. Smiley

Real Madrid make it official. It's cool to be able to say that I saw the eventual champions the Summer before their winning season (in a Friendly here in Philly). However, I hope I won't be able to say the same about the Italian league winners (Juve was here in the Summer, too, for a week or so of training).

The big action this Sunday is obviously the hunt for third in Serie A but having all of the Premier League games shown live on the FOX channels earlier in the day will be awesome.

As for Serie A, I like Napoli's shot at third. I think Lazio will either be beaten or draw at home against a hot Inter side while Catania can certainly beat Udinese in Sicily to wrap up a surprisingly good season. If we take care of business against Siena, we have third (due to a tiebreaker against Udinese).

I had a dream in which Man City lost the final game and thus the EPL title. 

I hope so!

I'll agree with Al on one point: don't use "EPL." You can use "Soccer" though.

Dortmund has...what?...one or two starters on the national side, right? That's all I recognize. If so, great result. I can only hope Chelsea win the Champions League to depress Bayern/Germany heading into the Euros. Smiley

Juventus ends the season undefeated. Del Piero scores in his final league game as does Pippo Inzaghi.

Hey Phil. What can you tell me about Mauro Camoranesi? He may come play for my Mexican club Atlas.

Also what Man City did today. Wow.

He's definitely at the end of his career/too old. Was a valuable player around the time he won the World Cup with Italy. Don't expect much from him now.

Rejoice! Marcello Lippi is a coach again! He's now manager at Guangzhou Evergrande. A chance at a little redemption but here's hoping he leaves China after a season or two and gets to retire as coach of one of the world's elite clubs.

Is it in Europe or South America? No? Ok, then that contradicts your statement.

Or maybe you were making a joke about their motto... Tongue

If 120 minutes do not result in a goal, here's the penalty stat for Bayern and Chelsea:

Bayern: 4 times penalty shootouts in European competitions - 4 times won

Chelsea: 2 times penalty shootouts in European competitions - 2 times lost

Haha, this really is Germany vs. England.

Bayern simply isn't allowed to win this. That's the only explanation for all of this.
