Kaka is the next big name in Brazilian soccer
AC Milan will beat Liverpool in UEFA Champions League Final
When it comes to international soccer, often there's just one word you need to remember in order to know all you need to know about it.
That's because the world's best player for the majority of the past 40 years has been a Brazilian player … and they only go by one name. Years ago, it was Pele who ruled the soccer universe. Now, single-named Brazilians have won FIFA's World Player of the Year Award seven times in the last 14 years, including Ronaldo three times, Ronaldinho twice, and Rivaldo and Romario each once.
This year, he didn't win the award, but he's the best player on the planet as we speak. His name is Kaka, and he's the star of AC Milan, who just beat the living crap of Manchester United 3-0 to make it to the finals. Kaka's scored five goals in the team's last five UEFA Champions League games.
For Liverpool, they're a more balanced offense, with eight players scoring throughout the Champions League tournament, led by Peter Crouch's seven goals.
I'm not even that into it, but I played the game all the way through high school and respect it tremendously. So, I have to give a prediction on it. Makes too much sense. Unfortunately, the game doesn't take place until May 25, so we have all the time in the world to talk about it … just like the NFL Draft.
Oh goodie.
Prediction No. 1: AC Milan beats Liverpool 2-1
Prediction No. 2: Kaka scores once and is named the game's Man of the Match
