EPL predictions
The English Premier League is back underway this weekend. I didn't do so well with my last year predictions (but I did predict Man U to win). Here are my picks for the top 7 this year (in order):
Manchester United
Liverpool
Manchester City
Chelsea
Tottenham
Arsenal
Everton
Manchester United should be as good as last year, assuming their new goalie works out. With Fabregas finally off to Barcelona, Arsenal will drop out of the Champions League, and I predict Liverpool will edge a dangerous Manchester City (Sergio Aguero) due to the fact that they will not have any European tournament distractions/extra games (go reds!). Fernando Torres will be back in form with Chelsea and will win the golden boot (with Luis Suarez right on his tail). On the relegation front, I will be rooting hard from Swansea to stay up.

Barcelona vs. Manchester United - prediction
The big game is tomorrow. I thought I would just go on record with a prediction: Barca 2, Man U 1, with Goals by Messi, Iniesta, and J.Hernandez. I am rooting for Barcelona, but I would also like to see Chicharito score. Manchester United looks better this year than 2 years ago, but it is just too hard to stop Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and company for 90 minutes, plus Barcelona's defense is actual quite good (a slight edge to Barcelona in all areas except maybe coaching).

Rooney's goal vs. Manchester City
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSAlvp4GPCY
I'm not a huge Wayne Rooney fan, but this was one of the best goals I have ever seen (and it ended up winning the match 2-1 against Man United's arch-rivals). I could do without his celebration afterwards, though. Too bad Rooney hasn't performed like this while wearing an England jersey!

ESPN gets right to Euro Championships!
Every match of Euro 2012 and 2016 will be broadcast on ESPN! This is excellent news for soccer-deprived Americans like me. I will definitely round up another betting pool for Euro 2012!

On another note, as a Liverpool fan, I must say that I am sorry to see Fernando Torres leave, especially to my least favorite team (Chelsea). However, Liverpool got top-dollar for him, despite the fact that he really hasn't been the same player since his injury last spring. Liverpool essentially got 2 for 1: Suarez and Carroll (very talented young strikers) for Torres. I hated Suarez last summer for his dirty, classless handball against Ghana (which ended up winning the game for Uruguay), and not to mention the fact that he is coming off of a suspension for biting an oponent, but I'll give him a chance. Also, I am very much rooting for Michael Bradley to kick-ass with Aston Villa.
