(that’s right, I’m a fan of that nickname!)

United v. Chelsea for the glory of the best team in Europe. I think this will be a fantastic game of pace and skill. Of course, it may end up being a slow and methodical game in the end, but I hope not.

If both teams are running and gunning, I think that United will come out on top. A defensive struggle could go either way but I don’t think Sir Alex is going to allow that to happen.

I’m predicting a 2-1 win for the good guys.

If I had to put money on it, I’d also predict a 2-1 win for Toronto FC tonight against D.C., but what I actually want is a 5-0 thrashing. I was never embarrassed to be a TFC fan last year, but the loss to D.C. in the second game of the season was definitely something to be ashamed of. Make no mistake, however, both teams have shown themselves to be different from the second week squads. Toronto FC is much more strong team defensively and in the midfield. We should be able to contain DC tonight, and hopefully surprise them on the counter. Look for Cunnigham to start today giving TFC that quick attack that will be needed.

That’s it - I can’t wait for these games to start!
