My daughter and I are settling in to watch the Champions League Final pitting Manchester United and FC Barcelona. It's a match that has divided my household as Lionel Messi, Barcelona's star striker, is my daughter's favourite player (since he and she are both quite small). While Manchester United is not my favourite team per se, their two Champions League victories are among my two favourite soccer memories. The Final in Moscow affected me so strongly that I wrote it into Games of Chance.
More importantly though, today's game is a warm-up to our watching the Women's World Cup of Soccer this summer, an important milestone in helping share my love of soccer with my daughter.
