ESPN has been showing soccer recently (within the last couple of years - or at least that's when I found it). But not just soccer, football. Real football. They've been showing the UEFA Champions League playoffs and championship. And, Fox Sports has been showing English Premiere League football.
The games are usually shown on Tuesday afternoons, so it's nice to sit down for a while and watch a good match. Today, they were broadcasting the Manchester United v. Roma UEFA match. I was hoping that they would be showing that game.
I am a ManU fan, as much as I can be from the States, where I rarely see them play, and am still trying to figure out the complex league system. I don't know anything about any of the teams, but I like ManU, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal. I kind of suspect that liking ManU is like someone from outside the US having an interest in baseball and deciding to be a Yankees fan. The Yankees are probably the biggest marketed team and therefore have the biggest headlines, and have had (I will grudgingly admit) good teams over the years, and have won the World Series enough so that "everyone" knows their name.
It's probably the same situation with ManU. Still, I'll stick with them until I know better.
Ellen says she will continue to root for the Aberdeen Dons.
Oh, yeah, Manchester United won the match 2-0.
