The All-England Final



Only one game remains in this year's edition of the Champions League -- the May 21 Final between Chelsea and Manchester United. After victories over Liverpool and FC Barcelona, respectively, the teams have drawn the right to do battle in Europe's most prestigious championship.

The game, slated for Moscow this year, has universal interest, even in the states. The past few years, both Chelsea and Manchester United have ventured to the US to play exhibition games in the run up to their English Premier League season. Even before their visit, the two teams are two of the most recognizable names in sports worldwide.

Unfortunately, with the return leg of the semifinals played this week, there will be a long 3 week wait until the final kicks off. This is one game not to be missed!
