Liverpudlians Unite! Forza Milan!

First, you must read this article. If you don't have the patience to click the link (I always wonder who actually does that), this is the subhead: "Captain expected to play off lone striker Kuyt. Rallying cry calls for repeat of Istanbul." If that sounds like email spam to you, it's probably because you're not a soccer fan. But if you are a soccer fan (or is it football?), you might be hoisting a brew in a pub in Athens, Milan, or Liverpool, today, because a pretty hefty rematch is taking place in the Champions League, the world's greatest club competition. In 2005, Liverpool muscled its way past Milan (it was in Turkey, which explains the cryptic "repeat of Istanbul") and they're back again this year, in Athens. Of course soccer hoodlums fans will be drinking watching with baited breath today, so we're going to talk to a few... let us know who you're rooting for!
