Después de cuatro fechas de dominar a los rivales y no poderlo demostrar, uno espera a los
grandes, en este caso al vigente campeón para medir sus verdaderas fuerzas, y lamentablemente el
América reprobó esta prueba.
Sólo una cosa ¿qué demonios con la violencia afuera del Azteca ¿ya somos rivales de mucho
tiempo o cómo?
CNN's Piers Morgan (left) does a weird thing with his mouth after he
speaks. His lips pinch tight. As if the torpedo tube is being sealed until the next salvo. It can
be quite intimidating. It fits the style of a man who was previously employed as a tabloid editor
in the warfare of English newspapers.
The Champions League Final is the year's biggest sporting occasion. In 2009 the soccer showpiece
overtook the Superbowl in viewing figures. Now, with the game being played on a Saturday and
between arguably the two best club teams on the planet, the numbers are expected to be higher than
ever.

A lot of press around the Jay DeMerit story and rightfully so. It's a beautiful tale as a
Wisconsin soccer god and good guy grabs his knapsack and heads to Europe in search of a "football"
career on the very island that birthed the game.
Perhaps it was all meant to be like this. Perhaps soccer was indeed created to carry out an
educational message. Forget all the deserved hype about the newly crowned Superbowl heroes the
Green Bay Packers and how a team from a tiny town in North-east Wisconsin can survive and prosper
in a league where the likes of New York and Chicago are represented.

I don't hate football anymore. That's a big step for me; I used to actively loathe the game, and
would be vocal about that whenever possible. In my mind, a man could have only been a fan of one
football, and I was an adamant supporter of what was clearly the farer game. Now, of course, things
are slightly different, as while it would take a strong effort to care any less about football, my
feelings have shifted more towards a content indifference.
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers beat Ben Roethlisberger and his Pittsburgh
Steelers to win the Super Bowl XLV. The Packers held a 21-10 half-time lead, and finished
the game with a 6-point victory, 31-25.

... about the Pats any more (as DaddyCornblog would say). Sadly, the Pats and Eagles are gone
... so now we're hoping for a Steelers-Packers Superbowl. (That's what the consensus is in these
parts ... and HollyCornblog agrees, so you know it's gonna happen.)
Quite the shocker in Foxboro yesterday, eh?
