Yep A head's up for people that travel/party for Memorial Weekend, the CL Final is on that Saturday this year.
Yep, I always go to the river in Arizona that weekend and am hoping to find some place along the water showing the game.
If Chelsea doesn't start Torres then.... He needs to score to get him going and he won't have an easier opportunity for quite a while.
Chelsea team for Copenhagen: Cech; Bosingwa Ivanovic Terry Cole; Ramires Mikel Lampard Zhirkov;Anelka Drogba.
Final. 3-0 Madrid 0-0 Chelsea. Both through. Really nice gesture at the end of the Madrid game when both the teams put "Animo Abidal" (Be strong Abidal) shirts.
