I'm in an open exam at the minute for my finals, and I'm watching the match, without beer, as a compromise. Sort your priorities out!"

"United have played like a boxer willing to take a barrage of body-blows. They haven't been very adventurous but limited the damage Barca could have dealt."

where do Man U fans watch games in Champaign? It would be nice to find some atmosphere tomorrow afternoon.
Anonymous - I watch the matches at home on SopCast or TVU player. I would love to meet up with Man Utd fans and watch the matches together. But I don't think there's any pub or restaurant that exclusively broadcasts these matches. Let me know if you find such a place. We could create the atmosphere that you were talking about.
a friend of mine and I will be at Guido's downtown to catch at least the second half. Since the games are on ESPN2, is shouldn't be a problem getting at least 1 TV tuned in.
Hope Rooney is healthy enough to play.
I could definitely join in for the second half. But getting to Guido's will take some time for me. And I will end up missing a lot of the match in the process. This would be a lot easier if you weren't anonymous.
:P
Rooney will play through the pain barrier if he has to, but I don't think he will sit this one out.
well, Guido's was not "hoppin", but we did get to watch the 1-0 Man U win. they wouldn't even turn the volume on for us, despite the fact that there were only about 6 people in the whole place. The wings are good though.
We'll be trying another place for the next "must see" afternoon game - likely during Euro 08.
Ummm.... I think the Champions' League final in May will be the next "must see" after noon game.
I'll try scouting for venues too.
