Okay – I don’t even like watching soccer, but yesterday’s champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea seemed like something a sports fan should watch.  So, like any typical hockey fan, I recorded it on the PVR and fastforwarded all the boring running around and just watched the goals.  Anyhoo…I have adjusted my opinion of the whole penalty kick thing.
