I know a couple of proper united fans (they do exist); although I hate all big 4 plastics with a passion, they are a good team and deserve their success.
Pissing of Platini is a big plus that I didn't think about!
I do like Barca, though. And yes, Cataluna IS a separate country.
I support one English team only and England. I have no more affinity to any other English teams than I do Barca. An English team winning this and gaining the financial rewards can only widen the gap in this Country, harming my teams chances even more.
And I don't understand the patriotic argument because:
A club owned by Yanks, managed by a jock (and a c**t of one as well), supported by a healty contingent of Irish, with a well known anti-england sentiment within their support, who ditched the ENGLISH FA Cup for the world club cup. Rooney, who stuck two fingers up at ENGLANDS travelling support in Croatia, Neville who tried to get his ENGLAND team mates to boycott playing for England. Teves an argentinian!!!!
That said if they were playing celtic or a turkish team I would probably favour them.
[cite]Posted By: c4fcdenmark[/cite]Monaco is a principality as is Wales.
Try telling Welsh people that they're 'English'
[cite]Posted By: c4fcdenmark[/cite]Catalonia, I think, would like to be a sepearte country though on a mpa of Europe are clearly not.
Catalunya (not Catalonia) has been a separate nation at various points in its history. The Spanish civil war put paid to any autonomy for Catalunya - though the vast majority of Catalans still consider themselves a separate nation and most would like to be independent from Spain. Thousands of people died in the civil war for (amongst other things) autonomy for Catalunya.
I won £125 in the 99 final, £5 bet, Bayern half time, Man Utd full time, 25-1, when they equalised didnt think they had enough time for the winner, boy was I pleased.
[cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]Do they have their own international football team or is it a fake country like Monaco?
Yes - but FIFA and UEFA won't let them compete in international matches (like Gibraltar, Monaco etc) because they aren't recognised as independent countries. This hasn't stopped Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland from doing so but that doesn't seem important to FIFA or UEFA
See every man and his dog in the media is banging on about this being the best game in history.So expect nearly two hours of tripe with a single winning goal going in off of somebodys backside.

Tell u what anyone would have looked shite against Iniesta and Xavi last night they were out of this world especially Iniesta who was just simply wonderful what a genius of a player. He was untouchable I don't think a midfielder in world football could ahve lived with him last night.
Yeah Iniesta, now thats a player, who is thrice the player bryan 'i am welsh' Giggs will ever be.
Giggs, last night was pony, old, overrated and fergie fecked up playing him instead of some who aint an old washed up ugly eyes too close together crap left winger!! Oh and Carrick, shocking player.

I would like football to be the winner tonight.
A nice 4-4 draw after extra time followed by sudden death victory on penalties to either side.
Its got the potential to be a great game so hopefully it will live up to it.
Does that mean the Vatican can join the Euros & World Cup then?
Then again, their keeper is no longer with us.
25 quid on each (one was a free bet)
United should do them imho.
Anyway I'm too busy enjoying Gary Alexander's miss on Sky+.
Why is he a c**t? I thought he used to play for Rangers.
1st scorer Vidic.
Has this ever happened ?(might have done with Andy Peakes "rocket" shots).
