I will be the first to admit that I have been a little lax recently in my posts. What can I say? This is a club soccer site and there’s not much going on in the club world at the moment, although the Copa Libertadores finals start next week and should give us something to talk about.
That doesn’t mean there’s nothing on television, though. There’s actually some good stuff this weekend, even though there’s not much of it. Of course, the highlight is the Euro 2008 quarterfinals – and the highlight of those will be on Sunday when Spain faces Italy on Sunday. I have to admit that I was rooting for the Netherlands (after Germany, because I always root for Germany), but now I hope the Dutch get beat by Italy in the semifinals. Why? Because it’ll bring my predictions closer to being correct? No. Because the Netherlands should have lost to Romania and eliminated the Italians. Since they did the “right thing” and played to win against Romania, I think losing to Italy in the semis would be poetic justice.
There are also some potentially good MLS matchups this week as the LA Galaxy host the Columbus Crew and Real Salt Lake hosts the New England Revolution. Throw in the Uruguayan championship, where Penarol faces Defensor Sporting and the weekend should have some quality games, even if the quantity is lacking. Below is the American soccer television schedule. Enjoy the weekend!!!
