Blog Of The Moment: Soccer Is The Theme

Ever wonder how UEFA/FIFA select referees for matches?

Check out Dutch Referee (with link to Refereeing World).

Glad to see Italy keeping up with its tradition of producing strong, world class referees. England too.

Nicola Rizzoli (ITA) expertly and wisely officiated today's all-German Champions League final contested between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Bayern Munich capped one of the most dominating performances of any team in history this season prevailed 2-1.

The best team in Europe won. Hands down.

Five-time winner Bayern joins Liverpool 3rd all-time behind Real Madrid (9) and AC Milan (7).

Redemption for Arjen Robben who scored the winner one year after suffering a devastating lost to Chelsea.

It's been a pleasure watching both Bayern and Dortmund this year.

For Serie A fans, we can look forward to Napoli, Juventus and AC Milan in Champions League.
