Barcelona's win over Chelsea was pretty good today. But it's Man U's year, so much talent...
I watched this game today and was wondering why Barcelona won considering it was a tie game. Also the aggregate or whatever was also 1-1 could you explain this as I just started watching and don't know all of the details surrounding the game.

The first tie-breaker is the away goals rule. The team that scored more goals away, gets the win. Since the first match was nil/nil, Chelsea scored 0 goals away and Barce scored 1 away.

Gotcha thanks for explaining. I never noticed very many games being played on espn with the exception of the semifinals and final, do the earlier games in the season get televised too?

Yea only the semis/finals are shown on ESPN. They ocassionally show MLS, but come on....
Not sure if you get digi cable/sat. but there's Fox Soccer Channel (104 here) that shows most of the games. They also show the premier leagues, england, Spain, etc.

Bump! The championship game is on now! ESPN has it. 15mins into the first half. ManU is already down 0-1, Oto scored for Barce @ 10min mark.

Yea, the match was pretty good, I went ManU for my fantasy pick 'em, but o well, Barce dominated the game. My ex-roommate is a big ManU fan, so razzed him for a bit
