Late night open thread

What an utter clinic turned in by FC Barcelona this evening in London's Wembley Arena in the UEFA European Championship match. Barca utterly dominated Man U. You can probably now count on one hand the amount of times the legendary Man U side has been pulled around the pitch by their ears and yet that's exactly what happened today.

Barcelona is truly now one of the greatest club teams ever. They could beat most national teams. Much like in 2002 when the Detroit Red Wings had 11 future Hall-of-Famers on their roster that won the Stanley Cup and played with panache and style and wowed the fans so too does Barcelona. Lionel Messi played brilliantly and showed for all the talk of his passing and dribbling and ball possession skills his shot is like a rifle and he doesn't need much room to pull the trigger. Johnny's favorite Barcelona player, striker David Villa clinched it late for the Catalans.

Johnny thinks if Barcelona was on the soccer game of the week every week more Americans would watch the beautiful game.
