    I notice this whole 'let's congratulate the winner prematurely' has infected the soccer forum from the NBA forum

    Football can change in seconds, basketball can't. I still wouldn't reckon on the draw

    It's sometimes used to jinx a side. I love those threads on some occasions.

    Wil - you are far too smart to think about jinxing, it's a sign of desperation on a losing bet

    So many people on that NBA forum outbet their means and get so desperate

    I didn't play either side in this one. I only tailed LB on the UNDER.

    I'm thinking hard about Fulham -1.5 (+220). That game has the setting of a game that'll be won by more than a 1-goal margin. I know the new man in charge knows a thing or two about English football but that won't be enough. Fulham got what they needed in the 1st leg.

    I'm glad you raised this because apart from a 2-0, that bet would have to go over, i am loving the over 2.5. It was 11/10 and i just see goals.
    If either team scores before half time, the whole mood of the game changes and will become more open, especially if Hamburg score first.

    Thoughts?

    2 great managers, but Mourinho has got the better result so far beating Chelsea and Barcelona the top 2 favorites. If Inter show up and have a good performance then they should take this one. Bayern will probably need another game saver from Robben or Olic.

    This final is destined to go to extra time or penalties IMO.

    Is there a line up for the final yet?

    Barca-Inter today had everything I don't like about soccer. Cynical display of trying to fake the ref, especially by Inter. (I wasn't on the game, but that second Barca goal looked pretty clean to me).

    This game killed me, cannot believe barca had such a poor showing against 10 men for 60 minutes. Congrats to everyone on Inter though

    Bayern have a qualification history that makes them favorites, but Eto'o has a history of scoring crucial goals in such games. We'll see how it goes. My head says Bayern, my heart says Inter.

    I say that Bayern would win if this were based on talent alone, but something about Inter just murders other teams and hits them in ways that they never expected. I'm feeling Inter will take this one.

    I like football, so I cannot possibly root for inter. They play with heart though. It just hurts my eyes too damn much.

    Mourinho will definitely prevail against the Bavarians who really have no team. Seeing the way they bottled Messi, Roben is a child play. But then, considering the fact that Bercelona played a 12-man side against 10-man Inter, the ref may be the decider in this crucial final.
