Live on Setanta, will reair on ESPN Deportes
Live Uefa Champions League - Chelsea v FC Porto Live coverage direct from Stamford Bridge where Chelsea prepare to play host to FC Porto in the Champions League. The teams cancelled each other out with a 1-1 draw in the first leg of this knockout match, but a winner has to come from this game so expect both teams to put in a full-blooded performance. K.O. 02:45.

I *think* that all Champions League matches are also offered in pay-per-view online. No idea about the quality or anything.

They say that a sign of a champion is that they can play badly and still win. Based on yesterday's Liverpool v Man Utd game, Man Utd will be champions. They were hardly in the game but still managed to pull it out. Not much of a game, but a great ending.
The Champions League games are offered for pay-per-view online through the www.soccernet.com site. It's $9.95 per game, not sure of the quality. |

That was a very much needed win if they have any hopes of qualifying for Europe again through the league.. simply an unbelievable game.

Tivoed this and just finished watching it, incredible Game, you really have to feel bad for West Ham. I think this loss pretty much secured relegation for them as they have a murderous stretch coming up with Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal. The only thing to dream about now for Hammer fans is Millwall making an incredible run, then winning the League 1 promotion Playoff so they can renew their rivalry next Year. Tottenham has to be the most exciting club in the Premiership this Season (Aaron Lennon's runs are a thing of beauty, he can flat out fly). They are like the Soccer version of the 80's Chargers, just score more than the other Team. If they played Defense they would be downright scary. |

Huddlestone was a beast pre-injury. What's amazing is the beautiful touch he has for a guy of his huge size. He is immediately the best free kick taker on the team, puts the ball in amazing positions on long passes, and has a wicked strong/accurate shot from outside the box. Today though, against West Ham... he looked very rusty coming back from the hamstring injury, and he looked tired even though he came on at half time. I'm hoping he can be fit in a month or so and hopefully be a big part of the finish to the season (hopefully they're still alive in UEFA by then).
And Jol isn't going anywhere after this recent turnaround. I mean, even if the finish like 13th in the league, they will have had 3 pretty solid cup runs as well and it's obviously they are headed in the overall right direction.

It's a shame these old grounds have to go the way of the dinosaur. I miss Highbury and something tells me it's going to be difficult to duplicate the same environment we're seeing at Anfield tonight when the Reds move to their new stadium.

What a mess at Valencia-Inter. Makes the Carling Cup final look like a tea party (not that it was ever all that impressive as massive brawls go).

I saw some post-game interviews from Liverpool... the funniest thing for me personally was how I found Dirk Kuyt's English far easier to understand than Jamie Carragher's. That is a serious scouse accent on that guy.

Fox Soccer Channel will be the home of Serie A games through 2009-10, this is a blow to GolTV (which is being acquired)

really good. The company that is acquiring 80% of GolTV (The Checketts Group) for $200 Million), also has rights to South American Qualifiers live, so they might add value, despite losing Serie A, they would still have La Liga, Bundesliga, and multiple Latin/Central/South American Leagues)

I'd guess it won't make much difference for GolTV, Italian soccer isn't one of their big draws. Apparently their top draw is Spanish soccer, followed by their saturday night Colombian game. If they can replace Italian soccer with something like Argentinian or Mexican, I'm sure they'd be happy. Mexican seems unlikely though. Make or break for me is if FSC take the UK commentary or hand it to their in-house guys. I can't stand the in-house FSC commentators. |

My (non-domestic) soccer viewing right now is this:
1) Any and all EPL 2) Any related European competition 3) Big games in La Liga (so this is one match every few weeks) So personally from an FSC perspective, i'll be bummed if this results in less EPL coverage, and I cannot see how it won't. |

FSC Will probably lose one saturday game more to Setanta, or show it delated instead of live, but I don't think it'll be TOO bad.

From an AP article
Fox plans to broadcast up three live games each weekend plus midweek matches, when they are scheduled. It estimates it will broadcast 140 games per season and also will televise a Monday highlights show. ... Fox's schedule might feature Premier League games at 10 a.m. and noon Eastern on Saturday, with a Serie A match at 2:30 p.m, Sternberg said. Sunday's schedule could have Serie A games at 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., surrounding a Premier League match.

Seriously. I think the best line I heard is what Phil Ball (over at Soccernet - probably my favorite soccer writer out there) noted when Ronaldinho was asked if he was the best in world, he said he wasn't even the best on his team! Messi is just pure genius - absolutely frigging magnificent. Barca's a far better environment for him than Italy or the UK.

We're really in the wheel house of good soccer right now. MLS Teams about to get going, great derby games in Spain/italy/Germany (it's really too bad that Inter are dominating Serie A right now).. Just want my MLS tickets to show up

And the Chelsea-Tottenham game was just bonkers as well. As a Spurs fan it felt like a loss by the end of the game, but all in all a 3-3 draw and a replay at the Lane is pretty solid. I just dont know how they're going to deal with all these games...they just played Thursday + Sunday and now play Wed, Sat, Monday.

Valdes saved Barca at the end (Well, after Messi did). Full credit to Real for not boring the game up. I think it was Messi's second that was just exceptional, a calm finish to keep the ball under the bar when most guys would have ballooned it over. Phil Ball's description of Guti was the most accurate I've ever read. Did anyone catch Sevilla's game this weekend? How the fcck did they drop points again? |

I saw the game as 99% of Spanish citizens
Pretty fun game, too bad R.Madrid Coach (Fabio Capello) is a really defensive coach (to not to say a coward) and he didn't go for the game when Barcelona was with 10 men in the field.

When I saw the Anderton Sex Tape url I thought it was going to be Darren Anderton. If it was in the style of his career, he'd get injured early and have to be pulled off at half time.

Actually, quite a bit more then that, looks like a seven month Global Ban Valencia's David Navarro has been suspended for seven months for his part in the brawl at the end of the UEFA Champions League match against Internazionale last week, while Carlos Marchena, Nicolas Burdisso, Maicon, Ivan Cordoba and Julio Cruz have also been given bans. The Spanish side advanced to the quarter-finals after a 0-0 draw at the Mestalla took them past Inter on the away goals rule. However, pandemonium broke out after the final whistle as Navarro punched Burdisso and left the Inter defender with a broken nose. Several other players from both sides got involved as the trouble spilled over into the tunnel, and Uefa has been quick to take action. Both clubs were charged with improper conduct and have now been fined 250,000 Swiss francs (£106,000) by Uefa's control and disciplinary committee. A number of individuals have also been punished following the examination of official reports and video evidence. Navarro has been hit hardest for sparking the brawl, and he will not be allowed to return to action in Europe until October. Uefa is to ask world football's governing body Fifa to extend the suspension imposed on Navarro to international level, meaning the ban would then apply to all competitions - including domestic leagues and national team fixtures - on top of Uefa club competition matches. Navarro's Valencia team-mate Carlos Marchena has been suspended for four European games. Inter duo Burdisso and Maicon must serve six-game bans, while Cordoba has been suspended for three matches and Cruz for two. Uefa has opted not to impose a stadium ban on Valencia, who meet Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Tottenham wade it way more interesting than they needed to yesterday, but won 3-2 (again) to move through 6-4 on aggregate. I have all the faith in the world in their offensive prowess (i.e. Berbatov is God), but the defense is in complete shambles.

West Ham looks like they want to make it interesting, 5 points from safety now.........I would like to see them stay up and if they continue their form of the last three games they just might make it....They face a fading Arsenal Team next that has just plain looked uninterested their last couple of EPL matches, then the big away match against Sheffield Utd.
For tomorrow I am really looking forward to the Tottenham V Reading match......I am expecting a very exciting 90 minutes from these two teams. |

Should be a good match - but I'd expect Reading to attempt to stifle Tottenham as much as possible, Coppell is a very good tactical manager and will know that 'on paper' if they both throw themselves forward the odds are Spurs will win ... I'd expect a combative Reading side (as usual ) and who wins the midfield battle will be critical in the outcome - if Sidwell gets enough time and space to play I can see Reading getting something out of this*. *and I'm not just saying that because he used to play for Brighton - imho he's a quality player and if he played in any other role than as a midfielder he'd be knocking on the door for an England spot by now. |
