From the Olympic Stadium in Athens, it's the UEFA Champions league final between AC Milan, six-time winner of this competition and most recently in 2003, against Liverpool, a five-time winner and most recently in 2005.
People in the know call AC Milan, Rossoneri, which just means "the red and blacks."

Landon Donovan and Eddie Johnson are probably the only players who could make a serious impact that aren't already playing overseas. But I would like to see more US players honing their skills in the better European leagues. Freddy Adu's development is going to stagnate (or already has) if he doesn't begin to face better competition.
23 He got tired of Jim Rome ripping soccer, got liquored up at some function, and said that Jim Rome could fellate him. But not those words. Other words. Bad words.
I was expecting Liverpool to be on the back foot all night hoping to sneak in a couple good plays and lucky breaks resulting in a lead to hold on for the win. Replace Liverpool with Milan and that was the game. Liverpool was the continual aggressor and dominated the game but for the scattered few Milan chances. I'm glad they got one at the end as a 2-0 score line would have been a slap in the face on top of the loss. I had resigned myself to a Milan victory before the match started, but the way the game played out this one still stings a little.
Ah well, congrats to all involved and hooray for months of speculative rumors. Maybe Liverpool can use some of that American dosh to get a world class striker.

Enjoy!
It makes for better CL match-ups to have a little distribution of talent
Of course, I didn't get to see Zidane that much, either.
How could they afford both?
Jersey sponsorship?

Then again, I hate Landon Donovan.
He told Jim Rome to perform a fellatious act
Makes zero sense.
Where's the karma?
42 Seriously.
Three minutes!
I will uphold my 22 year long protest as well
Score one for divers and cheaters. This is a victory for estrogen and villainy.
Can't think of a lot off the top of my head. Barbara Stanwyck is one.
