This weekend will determine the Scudetto holder.  Inter is two points clear of Roma.  If the Gods shall favor Roma then we will have a new champion.  I feel like Inter is strugling to keep the ball out of it's own goal and droping attainable points.  Roma seems to be picking up speed.  If the champions can get all 3 points then it's their's for the 3rd year in a row.  Personally I have enjoyed the late surgence and attacking play of Roma, and on top of it they are minus there tallismanic figure in Totti.  Vuchinic has stepped up and shown his class to replace Capitano Totti.

I believe Inter will get the necessary result and will retain the title.  However if Inter had to play Roma in a head to head competition, I feel like Roma would have the AzzuroNeri scrambling and picking the ball out of their own net.  

Oh,...wait a minute.......Copa Italia? They will be pitted against each other.  Surely Roma will grab some silverware there.

I would love to see Manchester win it, being a fan.  They, by my standards have the worlds greatest player and a legend in the making in Ronaldo.  Also, United have shown the most consistent form by any team in Europe.  My loyalties are to United and go back 17 years and it was my pick in early September to win the EPL and Champions League after viewing the chemistry and the depth of the squad.  But, as you know the most in form team wins.  I feel like Chelsea is peaking at the right moment and actually playing attractive soccer.  Huh....go figure?  The last few Chelsea games have been quite pleasant to watch.  I can't believe I'm saying this but Grant seems to have his team sheet sorted out and the players are playing for each other.  Also, you might want to throw in the emotions of the team to support Lampard and his loss, no respect for the coach or the team, the continuous injuries, and lastly.....and most importantly, they've never won it!   Chelsea seems to be a team that has a lot to prove in bringing home the trophy with the big funny ears. 

 I say go United! But this will be a cracker!!!

As you know we all have the perfect technical abilities such as Ronaldo, the tactics of Lippi, the charisma of  "The Special One", and the class of Beckenbauer.  Psst.....ya right! Easily said from from our comfy armchairs.  In the coming posts I will shine my light, and hopefully yours, on areas in the game, such as, transfers (Messi's $126 million possible transfer to Chelsea FC), player actions (Dovan taunting the Chivas bench), coaching decisions (Rikard leaving Henry out), owner monarchies (War at the Anfield with Hicks and Gillete), offical's calls (Mardona's no call on the "Hand of God" goal, and the people's (fan's) desires for their beloved team (The USA Men winning their first world cup).   Hind sight is 20/20 and we all are guilty of being experts on controversies that have happened.  I would love to open dicussion on the past, but only realize that it can be used as precedent for the future.  I would like to hear from the people their predictions and ideas for a better soccer world.  One that understands one language, one passion, , one love, and one game, that can make time stand still all around this great "Mother Earth." Eyes focused on a green rectangle roughly 90 X 120 meters and one goal post on either end.  It is this space between the white lines that define this rectangle, or pitch that  our discussions begin and will probably never end.

Comfy in my chair,
