Barcelona dominates Man U in Champions League final, and more
By Nick Barbaro, Fri., June 3, 2011
Wow! What a great show Barcelona put on in the European Champions League final, completely dominating a very good Manchester United team, and winning 3-1. Best team ever? They certainly didn't hurt their case Saturday.
With the Euro season now over, there's a spate of international games this week, before attention turns to off-season hirings and firings (and to the Women's World Cup, starting June 26 in Germany). TV games this weekend include the U.S. men taking on world champion Spain (Saturday, 3:30pm, ESPN), the U.S. women facing Mexico in one of their final WWC tune-ups (Sunday, 1pm, ESPN2), and some key qualifiers for next summer's Euro championship: Austria vs. Germany (Friday, 1:25pm, ESPN2) and England vs. Switzerland (Saturday, 10:30am, FSC).
And, oh yeah, FIFA is still corrupt.
