Meh, wake me up in a couple weeks when it's the first leg of Ireland/France.

Meh, waiting for Arsenal/AZ tomorrow. =)

Stuck in Dortmund, but you can bet your arse that I'm finding somewhere to watch.

Doomed: Meh, waiting for Arsenal/AZ tomorrow. =)

This.

Fiorentina!!!!!

Soccer on ESPN gamecast just isn't the same. Stupid time differences.

/Porto!

Any of these matches televised on espn?

I don't get FSC or setante.

Milan-Real is going to be great. Rumor is that Pellegrini needs to win to save his job.

I'll just leave this here.

//They're cool dudes I guess, good at soccer, that sort of thing

Curse you ESPN for losing TV broadcast rights to Champions League!

yelmrog: Any of these matches televised on espn?

Unexpectedly, Fox Sports in Spanish has popped up on my Dish subscription (ch. 855; YMMV). They have several of the games back-to-back-to-back. So I'll be "working" from home today.

In a strange way the commentary is actually better in a language I don't understand much of. You get the player names and basics like "pass", "center" and so on, without the rest of the banality of the typical second-tier commentator.

/I'm going to try the Spanish audio for Monday Night Football and see if that makes the broadcast more tolerable than the braying schoolboys in the ESPN booth.

Some local stations carry the games as well. I saw Manchester United play on Comcast so you may try there if you don't get FSC/Setanta/GOLTV.

Alternatively there are games streaming on the internet...

Go banana!

Dear Manchester United strikers, please could one of you score tonight? That would be cool.

Dear Manchester United defenders, please could you keep a clean sheet tonight? That would also be cool.

Dear Gabriel Obertan, if you are playing, could you please offer us some hope that you are better than Nani. That would be really farking awesome.

/When CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutski (insert own joke here) was 19, he fell out of a tree while rescuing a cat. He injured his knee and his playing career was ended. The cat was fine.

Watching Ireland will send you back to sleep pretty quickly.

I thought those were all luchadores from the 90's.

This is the gayest photo I've ever seen.



\Link is hot like C. Ronaldo for Guti.

Where was United's defending? Dud was just so wide open it was insane. God that was pathetic.

u means zis

CSKA 3-1

CSKA are making me giggle right now.

Diving? he stuck his leg out and kicked him.

WTF? Bad defending again and then a yellow for diving when it should have been a penalty?

Someone needs to check a Mr. V. Putin's recent bank transactions.

paj: Someone needs to check a Mr. V. Putin's R. Abramovich's recent bank transactions.

Is United looking flat, did CSKA come to play, or both? I'm stuck with Fark & ESPN Gamecast updates while I'm at work (other than the first half of Chelsea/Atletico on my lunch). Stupid work...

Well, I found one receipt

Apparently he gave all of the leftover booze to the other restaurant patrons. Must be nice.

Ooh that sneaky little Kun. 1-0 Atletico.
