Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Monaco. The Champions League semifinalists. I'm going through all the combinations of my head to figure out what final has the best ring to it.
Juventus-Monaco. They've both been so impressive this year and will make a pleasant change.
Monaco-Real Madrid. The 11 time champions against the kids. Tasty.
Real Madrid-Juventus. The two grand old teams. A classic. But boring? Who else thinks Real are not that much fun to watch?
Monaco-Atletico Madrid. Sounds odd. Atletico would probably go all out to destroy any hint of flash from Monaco.
Juventus-Atletico Madrid. Feisty. I like the thought of this one. I see a good old fashioned physical, cynical battle.
Atletico-Real. Please, no. Been there, seen that. Not again.
In completely different news, but in keeping with my marking of significant events over these 1000 days, physicists at Washington State University announced that they have created a "negative mass" liquid that defies Newton's Second Law of Motion. When the liquid is pushed it moves towards the pusher, rather than in the direction of the push. The physicists "cooled rubidium atoms to just above the temperature of absolute zero (close to -273C), creating what's known as a Bose-Einstein condensate." (BBC News)
And in other news physicists at Washington State University tried to figure out why Carlo Ancelotti was so upset about two of Real Madrid's goals yesterday. They are looking for volunteer students to from a group that can explain the offside rule. The students will have a year long mandate.
