Another full weekend of action on television this weekend and so we may as well get right to the action.
There are two matches this weekend between WCR Top 25 clubs. One will be televised in the U.S., the other won’t. From Germanay, Bundesliga leaders Hamburger will host Bayern Munich in a Sunday morning match on GolTV. Later in the day, Porto will host Sporting CP in a Liga Sagres match as both clubs are fighting to stay in the rankings after falling behind early in league play to Sporting Braga.
The quality of the matches drops significantly after that, but this weekend, we’ll just concentrate on quantity, how about that? A full 17 of the 25 ranked clubs will be broadcast somewhere in the U.S., so no matter who you love, you probably will be able to find them this weekend.
One additional note is that my ESPN schedule is my best guess from several sources. ESPN’s official schedule, particularly ESPN Deportes, often doesn’t seem to be set until about four hours after the shows have already aired, so it’s getting more and more difficult to put its schedule on the website in a timely fashion. If its wrong, I apologize, but blame ESPN.
