the real superbowl, the one that actually draws the crazy demographics in all those countries, is on TV today. you won't watch it, since it starts at 1130 PDT.it's the champions league final.
Imagine if other countries played american football, and they were crazy for it, and the top four teams from the NFL competed in a tournament from the top four teams from those other countries. the super-tournament could be called the "champions league", since it would be comprised of only really good teams (supposedly - some of the teams from the smaller countries would not be very good, but whatever).
the final for that theoretical tournament is today (that's Thierry Henry in the photo, who will hopefully help win tonights game), and unlike our bullsh*t "super bowl", which is irrelevant outside of the US, people from all over the world will actually pay attention. but not you.
if you were interested in seeing something superb, and you have time to catch some of it at lunch, or if you just like watching some of the world's best footballers do amazing things under crazy intense pressure, then check it out. it's on espn.

as a counter point and for those of us w/out tvs, i would have forgot had you had not reminded me. great game, I feel bad for Almunia who was stellar given the situation and it's easy for anouncers to sit and be critical, contrary to popular belief getting nutted for a goal is not uncommon.
