Champions League Final: Arsenal v. Barcelona, 2:30PM EST on ESPN2

If anything this could prove to be the start of a good summer for Ronaldinho, who will have his first chance to show the American public exactly what he's made of before the World Cup begins in two weeks. All in all, this should be a great match, of course.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

2-2, Barca wins on PKs. Ronaldinho pots the 2 for Barca, and Pires and Henry for Arsenal.

P.S., I liked the BARCA in the crowd.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nice save on Henry there...might tell us how this match will go for FCB's defense.

Henry wants to score, apparently.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nervous sounds about right there, El Ray. Timid is another good one.

Double Post:
The refs are calling this loosely so far.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Henry almost gave me my first correct goal to Pires.

Double Post:
Woo! An early red card to Jens Lehmann!

I was speaking idiomatically.

AND THEY'RE TAKING OUT PIRES???

There goes that prediction.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And now it's going to get chippy. Yellow to Eboue.

Most amazing jew boots

Almunia is doing well with what little he's seen so far.

(Can't you get a card for diving?)

Double Post:
Nice little nutmeg by Eboue but follows it up with a dive.

How ya doing, buddy?

Sol Campbell pots the header from the free kick off Henry. ASN 1-0 FCB

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This is the best chance Barcelona has had since the red card on Lehmann. Arsenal's defense has been very good in this first half.

Looks like Almunia got a hand to that shot by Eto'o. Almost made it worse...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My comment about diving was well timed, since that "foul" happened just after I said it. I felt Eboue was diving again when he was whining about his knee, but these refs obviously aren't going to call a tight game, so.

Double Post:
Edmilson might've been hurt in the first half, but Iniesta will take his place either way.

Double Post:
Iniesta looks a little like Landon Donovan...

Double Post:
Henry gets a yellow for a fair tackle.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The rain is going to hurt play as well.

Ronaldinho: if you're going to score, do it now.

Not a good shot by Ronaldinho. But he'll get more chances with the one-man imbalance.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Larsson in, van Bommel out.

QFT. Barca will need to start pushing and get into traffic and see if the refs won't call some things.

FELIPE NO

Eto'o gets the equalizer!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Belletti!

And Almunia is going to be bummed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

EDIT: WTF only 3 minutes??

Less time for the Gunners fans to organize a riot.

Was that an explosion or a thunderclap?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Arsenal was robbed thanks to the refs though. Lehmann should not have been sent off, and once Barcelona drew blood they were sure to win.

Actually it would be UEFA disciplinary action.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, if he calls the advantage, would there still be a card?
