Atlético Madrid v Fulham FC in the Europa Final @ The Sweetwater
Please join readers of Inside Minnesota Soccer.com at the Sweetwater Bar and Grille to view the
EUROPA League Final
between
Atlético Madrid and Fulham FC.
The broadcast will start live Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 with the game beginning at 1:45.
This game is big for Atlético Madrid but even bigger for that little club from West London, Fulham Football Club. It is truly Fulham’s brightest hour in its 131-year history. Fulham started out the campaign having to qualify for Europa after getting entrance through the UEFA’s Fair Play award which was given to the club for… well, basically being nice guys in the premiership in the 2009 season.
This game will be a match of the better talent and big time experience of Atlético to the superior coaching of Roy Hodgson. Hodgson has reinvented his managing career at Fulham. The British coach had great success away from England but he’s finally proven himself at home as well. He may well be a better international manager that a domestic one which has certainly been proven out this season. While Atlético Madrid have to be the favorites on paper, don’t count Hodgson and his boys out. The Fulham players have undying praise and loyalty for the manager and will do just about anything to bring this prize home to Hodgson, Fulham Football Club and its supporters. They have been down and counted out several times this season only to rise to the occasion. Can they do it one more time or will the superior talent of Atlético finally do the Whites in?
Come On You Whites!

Should be an excellent game tomorrow. I have already organized a mini-watch party with a couple friends at another establishment unfortunately.
Prediction: 2-1 Fulham goals by Gera and Duff.
