In January, I was in Dublin, Ireland staying in a hostel. I had just completed an exhausting week, with lots of sight-seeing and a lot more drinking. But, in my final day in the city (I would return two months later but that’s another story) I was ready to take a night off and go to bed early. Luckily, thanks to the world economy being on the brink of collapse, the hostel I was staying at was nearly empty and I was the only one in my six-bed room. But then the Belgians showed up…..
At 9:30 p.m. suddenly my room was infested with 20-year-old Belgians on a mission to get completely fucked up. It goes without saying my night off turned into another binger. But what does a 24-year-old Californian talk about with Belgian college kids?
Admittedly, starting a blog when the European club season just concluded probably isn’t ideal. Then again, I do get to start with a clean slate and go from there. But before I start ramblings about the Confederations Cup, transfer rumors, coaching controversies, the Gold Cup, friendlies and MLS, let’s begin with the top five things to remember about the 2008/2009 European Champions League.
