The legend continues

Helped along by much self-inflicted drama (will the manager quit, will the stars leave?), Manchester United are busy acclaiming their clinching of the English Premiership as their best championship yet. This in a season where they yet again had a premature exit from the European Champions Cup. For those of you happy not to trust the Washington Post to determine where quality football is being played, we strongly recommend that our American readers get themselves in front of a TV with ESPN2 on Tuesday afternoon, as Real Madrid meet Juventus in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final. The same Real Madrid with 7 more champions cup titles than Man Utd, the same Real Madrid that put 6 goals past Man Utd in the quarter-final stages, and to make it nice for the fans, let Man Utd score a few of their own. We strongly doubt that the Spanish and Italian fans of these two fine clubs give a hoot about another domestic title for England's winningest team.
