Messi Wins World Player of the Year

What came as a surprise to no one, Lionel Messi and Marta were named the World Players of the Year. Players from Argentina and Brasil...take that you Eurosnobs.

This version is cooler than the 30 second commercial I've seen on TV.

Sounders vs. Barcelona Recap

Here is ESPN's recap with John Harkes and JP Dellacamera.

Barcelona vs Sounders Tonight!

The day has finally arrived! The Sounders will face off against Barcelona tonight at 7:30 PM at Qwest Field. If you don't have tickets to the game you can catch it on ESPN2/ESPN360. Here is some video of Lionel Messi's trip to the Space Needle yesterday.

This says it all.

Barcelona showed exactly why they have dominated every aspect of their Spanish Primera campaign. Goals from Samuel Eto'o (10) and Lionel Messi (70) broke Manchester United hearts as they stripped away any hopes of a back to back Champions League title. What do you think of the game? Was it absolute brilliance of Barcelona or was it a United side that failed to show up to the game? Was the absence of Fletcher felt? Was this Sir Alex's best 11? Questions I will be asking for a long time, as the performance by the Red Devils was the poorest I have seen in a long time. Any team that show's up for a final against Barcelona and play's the way Man U did will always get this result. Bravo, Barcelona... Back to the drawing board Manchester.
