Well, time for Leverkusen to capture at least one title. They´re obviously pretty much of an underdog, but I´d go with a 2-1 victory. What are your predictions?
It's starting now, on espn2. I've got it paused on my TiVo right now so I can fast-forward over the Proclaimers in the pregame. Even if you're not normally a soccer fan, you should watch this if you can. My prediction: Real Madrid 2, Bayer Leverkusen 0.
Okay, maybe I was a bit overly sensitive because I still have very vivid memories of this: The Heysel Stadium Tragedy, 1985 Taken at their most simple level, the events of Wednesday, 29 May, 1985, are as stark as they are horrifying: at the European Cup Final, the most prestigious occasion in the European football calendar, Liverpool supporters charged Juventus supporters, causing 39 deaths. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A713909
Damn, Leverkusen would have deserved to win. They were clearly better. I hate the arrogance of some of the Real players (Solari, Raul, Roberto Carlos), they would be nothing without Zidane and Figo.
