Europa Final: Fulham v Atletico Madrid

A working from home Dad with two kids, ages 6 and 1, that will be me.

 

I'm offline at least till a few hours after the match.. Got a 'work situation' I have to deal with.

 

So ready for this!!! Come on clock!

 

Up at 3:30 AM flipping channels...check
Stomach churning with each bite of cereal...check
Actually remembering to drop off the kid at school (can't take credit, she's in Driver's Ed first period, and makes sure she's early)...check
Hyperventilating while waiting to leave for the pub...check

I will say this kind of nervous beats the HELL out of the feeling waiting for the Pompey game a couple of years ago.

Have a great time everybody, and let's see the lads hold that trophy!!

 

May all the good karma and mojo flow over everthing Fulham today. I'm standing up the whole match. Who's with me ????

 

Lucky Blue 04/05 Strip, that probably singly beat Hamburg - Check!

 

okay....http://www.livesoccertv.com/schedules/ has the listing of stations showing the match....so WHY CAN'T I FIND IT ON THOSE STATIONS!!

 

3 and a half hours left!! I am ready to see the boys put on a show!! COYW!!!!!!

 

Does anyone know of a good place to watch the final in Chicago?

Either way, 1-0 Whites on a first half 25-yard scorcher from Duff would be a best birthday present I'd ever receive in my life COYW!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Off to the stadium now, will revert post match. COYWs!

 

my STOMACH!

about to jump in the shower and decide how i'm getting over to the bulldog- with the "snow" this morning I might just ride the bus instead of my bicycle........nerves nerves nerves

 

I just discovered you can pay $10 to watch live on UEFA's site- I think I'm going to do that, between food and travel costs, I might actually be saving money or spending the same amount as if I'd gone out to the Globe. COYW! I can't believe it's in an hour...

The Globe is the place to watch soccer in Chicago. It's on Irving Park , less than a block East of Damen (only about two blocks from the Irving Park Brown line via public transit and not far from the interstate if you're driving). Great beer selection, obscure scarf collection on the walls (two Tooting & Mitcham United scarves, huh?) and a bar staff that will have the game on with sound before you even have to ask. I'd be there myself if I wasn't concerned with not being able to get to work on time (I work at 5, and my job is a good hour 15 mins drive West of the Globe). If you can't make this match, definitely check out a World Cup game or two over the summer or Champs League Final next week.

Heading out to the pub now to meet up with my sis and her coworkers. WOOO! I can't believe I get to watch this one.

COYWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

 

In Baltimore and heading to Slainte. Hope to see some Baltimore Cottagers there!

COYW!!

 

I arranged for an offsite meeting that is sort of close to my house. It finished early so I'm now home ready to watch and nervous as hell. The Europa channel musac is playing in the background - no video yet. Makes me more nervous. Should I drink a Boddingtons or a Harp that is the question? I'll be in the chatroom for some company.

COYW Lets make some more history!!!!!!!

 

As I posted in the Boston thread, on the subway heading to the Phoenix Landing. I'll be in my 08-09 away kit, no name / number.
