• Sat 4/5 6:30am ET EPL – Man U. v Liverpool
• Sat 4/5 8:30am ET GER - Bayern v Hannover

This is how BigSoccer is listing the upcoming games on FSW ,

There is a mistake in this, can you see it ?

Why can't we get used to list this the right way, I see this happen a lot, even within our soccer community.

Don't the German matches start at 9:30 EST?

Daylight savings time kicks in this weekend.

I don't see what the problem is otherwise.

I beleive that DST already kicked in over in Europe so that is why everything is off. I know the England game was set for 8PM Tuesday and it came on at 2 PM EST. 5 hour time difference will be back Sunday after we switch.

It certainly has nothing to do with who the "home" teams are as "v" is short for "versus". It merely indicates two teams playing each other.

It should be "BUN" for the second game because the first is identified as the "EPL" or "English Premier League". Thus, the second one should be "Bundesliga".

Now the Eurosnobs will NEVER respect us. :rolleyes:

He might be talking about the date. In Europe 4/5 would be 5/4 as they put the day first.

If this is the case (and not "bun"), then he can go to hell for being so petty.
