who is ready for a soccer update? shouldnt there be an exclamatory question mark elision?
theres a confusing jumble of tournaments remaining in the various leagues in europe. as it stands manchester united and barcelona have comfortable leads in their respective leagues the winners of each determined by aggregate points awarded for wins and ties. concurrently each of these leagues have a knockout tournament aka cups which have no bearing on the yearlong points gathering but which still are valued though not as much as winning the league. and there are also the european-wide club team tournaments, most notably the champions league which is perhaps most prized though some may argue that winning the respective home league is a more grueling affair.
so the champions league has reached the semi-finals with barcelona facing rivals real madrid and manchester united up against schalke from the german bundesliga. schalke are currently in 10th place this season in germany so that theyve made it this far is a surprise to many observers. they even fired their coach about a month ago. manchester will be heavily favored whereas barcelona have a much more formidable opponent in real madrid.
today barcelona face madrid in their final matchup in league play. barca have a considerable points lead going in but madrid could make up the difference should barcelona stumble in going down the stretch. but todays match might be about building confidence going into the champions league and the copa del rey which will also pit barcelona and real madrid in the finals. so these two teams will face each other four times in the next three weeks for three different tournaments.
"Saturday's Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid is the precursor for a total of four meetings between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the space of 18 days. Something which has never before happened in Spanish history."
meanwhile in england, there is an fa cup semi-final match today between manchester united and manchester city just about to kick off. manchester city are the upstarts and would be pleased to win the cup while united might be looking past them towards a league title and victory in the champions league.
"But this is a new Manchester City, and the gap between the two clubs is as close as it has been since the early 1980s. Hard cash and heavy investment of it has seen to that. Despite a slump in form that ended hopes of a challenge for the Premier League title, and may yet endanger their minimum target of Champions League football for 2011-12, the Blues must not travel to Wembley with doom in their hearts. Recent derbies may have swung in United's fashion in the last couple of seasons but each success has been a hard-won result for the aristocrats from Old Trafford."

Jane Curtin: Well, the 1970's are in their final month, and with some thoughts on this decade and the one we're about to enter, here's Weekend Update's Social Sciences Editor Al Franken.
Al Franken: Thank you, Jane. Well, the "me" decade is almost over, and good riddance, and far as I'm concerned. The 70's were simply 10 years of people thinking of nothing but themselves. No wonder we were unable to get together and solve any of the many serious problems facing our nation. Oh sure, some people did do some positive things in the 70's - like jogging - but always for the wrong reasons, for their own selfish, personal benefit. Well, I believe the 80's are gonna have to be different. I think that people are going to stop thinking about themselves, and start thinking about me, Al Franken. That's right. I believe we're entering what I like to call the Al Franken Decade. Oh, for me, Al Franken, the 80's will be pretty much the same as the 70's. I'll still be thinking of me, Al Franken. But for you, you'll be thinking more about how things affect me, Al Franken. When you see a news report, you'll be thinking, "I wonder what Al Franken thinks about this thing?", "I wonder how this inflation thing is hurting Al Franken?" And you women will be thinking, "What can I wear that will please Al Franken?", or "What can I not wear?" You know, I know a lot of you out there are thinking, "Why Al Franken?" Well, because I thought of it, and I'm on TV, so I've already gotten the jump on you. So, I say let's leave behind the fragmented, selfish 70's, and go into the 80's with a unity and purpose. That's what I think. I'm Al Franken. Jane?
Jane Curtin: Thank you, Al. That's the news. Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.
while watching big love (which ends next week) you can forget how creepy polygamy can be. thankfully we have reality tv to remind us. though who isnt creepy on reality tv?
