Thank you, ESPN

As much as ESPN can outright suck at times, I'd like to thank them for their upcoming coverage of the Euro 2008 Championships. Yes, I know the commenting will be ignorant and annoying, but every game of the tournament will be on ESPN Classic, ESPN2, ESPN, and the finals will be on ABC. That's simply awesome if you're a soccer fan.

DEUTSCHLAND!!!

I can't tell you how excited those ads make me, how perfectly they encapsulate everything I love about soccer...Personally, I can't wait to dance with the Portuguese.

I know.....and they got Andy Gray.


Too bad the commentators will be calling the game off of a TV monitor in Bristol......which is really stupid but it's better than nothing.


TSN, ESPN's sister station, will have their own coverage and 1 international commentator for each game like Steve Banyard there.


Can't wait for the tournament....

I'm not going to complain about a poorly prepared meal when I've been starving for soccer coverage for years.

Thanks to the BBC for letting John Motson retire after this tournament because calling John Terry, Rio Ferdinand is a sign you're getting old.


Derek Rae and Tommy Smyth are one of the commentators


Adrian Healey and Robbie Mustoe/Andy Gray will be the 2nd pair.


Rece Davis, Rob Stone, and Julie Foudy (!) will be the presenters.


Pedro Gomez (crap) will stop riding the Barry Bonds train and do some soccer.

I'm really looking forward to this summer's competition. The wonderful thing about the Euro's is that they are a complete crapshoot in the group stage and any 8 teams can emerge. I'll be rooting for great soccer since my fave. Euro team, England will be going though training motions. In this competition I'll be choosing rooting interest from game to game - like a USA fan who buys World Cup tickets past the group stages.

The Euro's are like the NCAA Tourney if every team in it had a real shot at winning. See Greece 2004. Greece?!?! FTW?!?!?!

This is the proof of how far soccer has come. We can watch, on ESPN, a soccer tournament that does not feature the US.

Great move by ESPN coming off the epic UEFA title match. And double that with the move to put the final on ABC.

The ad campaign is pretty good too. The Italian's gamesmanship, the Portugese dancing, and there have got to be at least 2 or 3 more of these that I have yet to see.

I learned to love the sport due to my Portuguese neighbors so I have to pull for them, and I like the Russian's as my underdog.

I shall be cheering on Spain, mainly because Cesc Fabregas plays for them.
