Since none of us know enough about soccer to write anything for today's Champions League final between Chelsea and Manchester United that would offer you, the reader, actual insight (I know that Chelsea's keeper, Petr Cech, is from Czech, and that he suffered a "depressed fracture of the skull" after taking a knee to head from Reading's Stephen Hunt in 2006 (you can see an x-ray here); I also just played "Which Team Has The Most Players Who's Names I recognize," and Chelsea won, with an impressive six names, so there's that.)), we instead scoured the intertubes and compiled some of the best previews out there. Enjoy.
