UEFA Champions League Draw

12:00: Guily (why did Barça send Guily...same reason as JoMo sent Forssell and Rui I suspect...just a year late) is handing over the trophy to Platini to a,"Good luck with the rest of La Liga!" Heh!
12:07: The Mayor of Athens is saying shit in Greek. Probably how happy he is to have the opportunity to do this bullox on an early Friday afternoon. I'm sure he'd rather be doing this than dealing with the smelly airport.
12:10: A lovely highlight reel of our Champions League action so far. Nice one from Crouch! Ronaldo's little pray at the sideline made the reel of course too.
12:13: The blue tie man (host) is talking rubbish about how Athens is the evolution of sport with the Olympics and all. My oh my...how the once mighty have fallen.
12:16: "Both finalists from last year are now knocked out of this years competition...yada, yada, yada..."
12:19: Zagorakis (the capitain of the Greece squad who won the Euopean Championship in 2004) is picking the lovely little silver balls.
#1: AC Milan vs Bayern Munich
#2: PSV Eindhoven vs Liverpool
#3: Roma vs Manchester United
#4: Chelsea vs Valencia
Semi-Finals are as follows
Winner of #4 plays Winner of #2 (semi final #1)
Winner of #3 plays Winner of #1 (semi final #2)
Then
Final - Winner Semi-Final #2(Home) vs. Winner Semi-Final #1 (Away)

These are going to be four fantastic finals. At least all the competitions are between different countries. May the best team win! With this draw...anyone can win! I love it!
