The World Cup comes every 4 years and it's a worldwide event. European Champions League is highest ranking championship in the world. Because of the teams, their history, the prize, the pride, the ranking of the players involved (the best soccer players in the world are playing in Europe),the European Champions League is considered as the most important sporting event in the year (beside, of course, the European Continental Cup and the World Cup, which run evry 4 years, two years one from the other).

In the UK football is the biggest sport. For a team to win the Premiership, the FA Cup and the Champions League is the greatest of victories.
Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal are the 3 main teams in the premiership, so when they come to play each other it is a massive game.
As for the game on Wednesday, it was watched by millions. I hate Man U and in my opinion they did not deserve to win, Chelsea were the better team, but as always Man U are so LUCKY!!
When Ronaldo missed his penalty I was the happiest person alive and I honestly thought Chelsea were then going to win. To see Terry miss was so sad as it cancelled out Ronaldo's miss, which gutted me.
I am not a fan of Chelsea as their owner is a crook, but I so wanted them to win just to see Ronaldo Cry like a baby.
Football is not what it used to be, too much money involved and the corporate businesses have ruined it for the genuine fans.

Although I was born very near to Chelsea Football Ground. I support England come World Cup. As a kid I went to football matches. I had a frightening experience in a crowd during one aged about 15. My brother and nephew are football nuts.

I'm not a fan of Manchester United or Chelsea. I think the final is a close one. Either sids have chances to win the final. It is just the luck. So unlucky Terry is!
