Today at 9:00 AM Pacific time, the UEFA Champions League Draw was held in Monaco. I watched it live on
Uefa.com (you can do the same for the UEFA cup draw tommorow at 4am). The UEFA Club Footballer of the year award was given out. Chelsea (FC) won the awards for best goalie, defender, and midfiielder (Cech, Terry, and Lampard respectivley), but Manchester United's forward, Cristiano Ronaldo won the overall award. I was proud, because I had the luck to be the first person to write that down on the Wikipedia article! It was a great feeling!
Anyway, in addition to doing the draw and the award, they gave 100 million Swiss Francs to some charity that Zidane is an ambassador for. Coolness...
I was hoping Fiorentina would have a tougher spot...
