PaulDoes someone want to explain this?

A deal in Harrison is expected to finally be finalized before the end of the summer.Wasn't the recent press conference this finalizing? I notice that Ridge's article was written before that. Or, are we back to the 60-90 day thing?

Everything is finalized. All that's left are formalities that are expected to be rubber-stamped.

Maybe they'll finally find the refs who red carded him when they start digging in Harrison.

ABC and ESPN to broadcast fourth straight World Cup (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8987833/)

Nothing really new here, until you read all games are to be in HD (at least 20 cameras per game)....

Same article at ESPN...but it also mentions Champions League coverage goes up to 2 games per week when the tournament is on.

Why is MLS playing a match tonight?

I would say because these two teams in the fall will be sharing their stadiums with NFL teams. Also, though not the least amount of games played (21), they aren't at 23 or 24.

Awesome. Soccer in HD brings it to a whole other level. I guess I'll be spending alot of time at my parents house next June.

I think this was a re-schedule from this weekend because there is a Broncos game in Denver on Saturday night.
