The Wedding Party That Never Ended
Six degrees of separation is remarkably prevalent to many things in our lives. No, it’s not a perfect scientific theory, but the more you talk with people and discover things about them, it’s usually mind-blowing how connected we all really are. The best part is you never expect it. You could be on a blind date and, halfway through, you realize a commonality that seemed entirely improbable.

However, Juventus are the hosts and they surely will have a surprise dish or two prepared for their guests tonight.
Beyond Manuel Neuer and his four guards preventing entry from the enemy by raising their drawbridge to protect their defensive castle, the optimum number on Bayern Munich’s mind is one.
The crack that would break “The Old Lady’s” back would almost undoubtedly be a solitary, and heavily valued, away goal from the high-powered offensive attack of “The Bavarians.” Their arsenal includes Arjen Robben, Franck Ribéry, Thomas Müller, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mario Mandžukić. And don’t forget about Philipp Lahm streaking down the right flank from his defensive post every once in a while…
After securing the Bundesliga Title last weekend (earliest for any team in league history), the new motto for FC Hollywood likely contains three powerfully definitive words.
