Champion's League match on TV???

[Soccerholic]

As far as I can tell, the CL match 8/27 against Zalaegerszeg is not on TV. Does anyone know any differently? If it is indeed not on TV, it's a little strange, considering this is a pretty big match for ManU, as I have read that they will lose about $30 million if they don't qualify for the CL.

Also, why didn't the EPL reschedule the game against Middlesborough the following day? I can't imagine any of the regular ManU players will be playing in that game. Not terribly fair, if you ask me...

Webcast anyone?

Nope, no TV. Why not? ESPN usually doesn't show these until the group stages, and even then, only one game a week. I'm not sure anybody holds the qualifying stage TV rights in the US anyways.

That's because our next game is Saturday against Sunderland, the Boro game is next week.

I'm glad to hear the game got moved. Soccernet still has the game listed as 8/28 on their website.
