The Big Game
Tonight is the Euroleague championship basketball game, and once again, the mighty Maccabi Tel Aviv will be trying to make Euroleague basketball history by winning its 6th title and thus becoming the second among the most-crowned teams ever in Europe.
Its opponent, CSKA Moscow, (who defeated Maccabi in the corresponding game of 2006 as I liveblogged here) is also aiming for its 6th title and is favorite to win after dominating the season. But Maccabi showed great character to come back from an 18-point, first-half deficit to defeat Montepaschi Siena 92-85 in the last game.
My heart tells me Maccabi, but my head says CSKA.
Updates:

11:00PM: We have a thriller, folks. At half-time, it’s Maccabi 41, CSKA 42.
11:50PM: It’s all over folks. CSKA 91, Maccabi 77.

If you’re in Israel, try channel ten [Arutz 10] of the national TV (it’s free access and is also on HOT/YES). They’ll broadcast the game live.
Enjoy.
Sport 5 is supposed to be streaming the Arutz 10 feed, I can’t confirm but am about to check for myself.

Thats a shame I fancied Maccabi Tel aviv but only because it wasn’t too long ago that Maccabi Haifa were kicking them out of the Uefa cup in football when they were the previous years champions.
Just thought history might like to repeat itself a bit, oh well.
Another issue is that video games are normally serious naturally with the most important focus on understanding rather than entertainment. Although, it comes with an entertainment part to keep your children engaged, just about every game is usually designed to work with a specific skill set or curriculum, such as mathmatical or scientific discipline.
