 Champions League Recap

Well, Man U won in PK's, so the pick was correct. If you count the very first penalty taken in the shootout, Carlos Tevez's conversion, Hillcrest Road correctly picked the score and three goal scorers. As it is, I'll take the winning team and two of three scorers.

Many members of the front office (including Greg Cotton, David Ficklin, Dustin Johnson and yours truly) were happy to see Man U prevail. Others (notably Chris Wyche) were saddened by the result. Still others (Chad Reynolds) were wishing Liverpool were still alive. Sorry Chad.

Hopefully everyone at the watch parties had a good time. We've heard back here at the ranch that the events went well. Hopefully those of you who were already Wizards fans enjoyed the mid-day, mid-week soccer viewing and those of you who enjoyed the soccer but weren't previously fans are considering coming out to a match. You should. It's a good time.

One thing we learned during the game: Nemanja Vidic and Carlos Marinelli could be twins. Check out the pics below and tell us what you think. How did you like the result? Let us know in the comments section.

Kansas City playmaker?

Man U center back?

  5. Fantastic afternoon. Great football game, good food, delightful company. All the way around a good time. Manchester United fan.
    Both teams were so very evenly matched.
    It was fantastic to see some of our players and hear them talk about the game.

    I would like to see watch oparties like this for the Olympics and/or World Cup qualifyers. If necessary tape the games and show them that night. We had a good time at Hanna's in 2002 doing that.
