God versus the Devil

It could be the final. Well if Inter aren't as they usually are, shit in Europe, it might still be. All of the build up will be overshadowed by Zlatan v Eto'o. But the mouth watering aspect of this tie for me, has to be Mourinho v Guardiola.




Mourinho epitomizes all that is evil in football. Perhaps on Earth. Maybe the Universe, who knows? His arrogance and utter contempt for established football figures is bad enough, but add to that his shocking style of football that he carries from team to team, like a poisoned chalice, makes him about as popular as a fresh turd on a honeymooners pillow. His ego puts Kanye West's in the shadow! Just overall Mourinho is, well, a not very likeable person. Yes, his record speaks for itself, and that is what ultimately counts, but doing it with class and dignity will always be beyond him.

Speaking of class and dignity Guardiola is Skywalker to Mourinho's Vader. He is the saviour of football. His swashbuckling Barca squad swept all before them last year, playing the game the 'proper way', beautiful, aesthetically pleasing, rampaging attacking football. Maybe stopping off mid counter attack to rescue some drowning orphans. You get the picture.

There is more than three points to fight for, there is a whole footballing philosophy at stake. The dark side has been on the rise for years, 1-o's, dire football, grinding results. Can Barca defeat them? Wouldn't it be great if Inter came out and played the 'beautiful way' and out Barca'd Barca? Can Pep out think the man who has a love hate relationship with his (Pep's) job? I could go on all night...lets just say I am excited...and if it's 0-0 then all is lost.
