Mourinho said we'd stop and watch...and at least I did

At approximately 2:45PM Eastern time on Tuesday, March 5, Real Madrid and Manchester United squared off in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie.  If you didn't understand half of that first sentence, I don't blame you. What follows is my diary of how the match unfolded.

First Half

0:00 - So it turns out Gus Johnson is the play-by-play announcer for this game. How better to drum up American interest in football than by having the most excitable announcer alive do the broadcast? (I know it's soccer and not football...just know that because it is a European game I feel compelled to call it football.)
