Chelski need to win to go back next year, makes the game way more interesting... Still supporting Bayern for it.
I'll be rooting for Bayern for sure. I'd like to see Tottenham in the Champions League next year.
EPL = English Premier League
Chelski = Slang for Chelsea F.C. [A Soccer Team from London]
Super Mario = Mario Gomez [A Star Player for Bayern]
The excitement for Saturday is for the UEFA Champions Final 05/19 Bayern München vs Chelsea [Think of this as the US' NFL Superbowl]
UEFA = Union of European Football Association
Though I do appreciate Bayern for beating Los Blancos, Bayern are probably the better team overall. If I do decide to watch, it will be to see Torres choke (if he plays), and hope the annouce say Butt on TV.
This Sunday, the EPL teams were all battling for various opportunities during the last day of regular play (within EPL). The top four teams at the end of their regular season (by record, then by points) get to play in UEFA next year.
If Chelsea (who is ranked 6 in EPL) wins the UEFA cup this year, they can remove the 4 ranked team which is currently those poor hot spurs who really deserve a knock at UEFA.

UEFA is the ultimate league for privately held clubs (not national teams, that's another level of complication).
Other European Leagues also fight for spots in the UEFA league while playing games with in their respective primary leagues.
BM is part of the German Bundesliga.
So CONCACAF has the US national team in its tournaments, but it does not have MLS teams.
lame
If you take away only one thing from this thread: the champion's league final is the most watched sporting event worldwide, annually. Something like 170 million people will be tuning in to watch this thing go down, with large implications for the following year's tourney centered around the English Premiership.
Tomorrow night I'm also heading over to see The Wall live @ the Coliseum. Tomorrow will be a good day.
