Being English and a big football fan, I do have a special interest! Should be a good final - Spain seem technically superior, but the English team seem to find a way to win their games. I don't think there is an obvious favourite for this game.
Nice to see that two of my passions - Big East basketball and English football have combined here! For what it is worth, I'm a Big East fan as I lived in New Jersey for a year 20 years ago and started following Seton Hall. And being Catholic, it wasn't hard to root for a league with lots of Catholic colleges in it. Anyway, I cheer for whoever is in the league - I used to want Cincinatti to beat Xavier when UC were in the Big East; now it is Xavier all the way!
