The Soccer Thread (IV)

Just checked the listings and the only EPL I could find on ESPN is Newcastle vs. Reading on ESPN360 tomorrow at 12:20 EST. What happened to showing Chelsea and Hull on TV? I had heard that rumor somewhere.

 

According to this, ESPN and FSC are still ironing out the contract.

And we're up to 11 in the Fantasy League. I think that may be a new high.

Oh, one last thing. That Newcastle-Reading tilt on ESPN360? Not an EPL game anymore, is it? ;D

 

Yeah I guess I should look at the table before jumping into the new season. ;D

 

Total Foosball is now in. We're up to a quasi-respectable 12 teams.

 

Which means I will now finish at least 10 places away from the trophy.

 

Breaking News: ESPN2 will have EPL in the morning.

Altidore twittered a bit ago that he's still in the US and won't be playing vs. Chelsea because of work permit issues.

 

I know a nice little corner of Bali where we won't be disturbed.

Afraid I'll have to pass this year. It's the day the EPL season starts and no one here has TV rights yet ... even after ESPN came down from $20 million for exclusive rights to $6 million for non-exclusive, no one is yet willing (or able) to pay. This after my cable system dropped ESPN and Star Sports altogether....

 

The HD is awesome.

 

Showing ESPN News during halftime...

 

Drogba wins it.

Tevez not in City's starting XI.

Man City: Given, Richards, Dunne, Toure, Bridge, Wright-Phillips, Ireland, Barry, Robinho, Adebayor, Bellamy. Subs: Taylor, Onuoha, Zabaleta, Petrov, Tevez, De Jong, Weiss.
