******** ESPN. I called them. They decided at the last moment to change the match because they felt it was more compelling. The poor woman on the other end of the phone. I am ********ing ****************. Its on ESPN Deportes at 4:45, but unless you live in ********ing Miami or somewhere 95% latin you're screwed there too.... #$&@^$&*@^%$&*^@#$
Call 860-766-2236 and voice your anger. The schedule has been out for months and they switch it the day before?? Unreal.
Brilliant. A number where you can call and complain directly to a human at ESPN. That's going on my rapid dial. GPK is all right.
As for the game. I think Lampard could use a rest. Are Duff, Cudicini and Crespo fit? Any other injury worries? Desailly? I wonder if Huth will get a German start?
My local is apparently showing all 4 live tomorrow afternoon. Will this still be the case if what you all say is true about ESPN2? They must be getting them PPV if its all at the same time right?
More compelling? Honestly, are there 5 Deportivo fans in the US? I could see us getting dumped for ManU due to ratings, but Juve/Depor? Give me a break. Is this compelling because of the 2 teams bitter, decades long rivalry? Ha.
ESPN Deportes is showing at 4:45. Call them all day tomorrow. Seriously, I wouldn't mind, but I know many people who took the day off because of the match because they've been telling us the match was going to be on. Otherwise, good luck finding ESPN Deportes. BTW...hopefully I was all right before showing a phone number
Said on sky sports that Mutu hasnt travelled due to a leg injury .I also heard that ranieri will have duff on the bench.
from the chels website: Claudio Ranieri has taken 21 players to Germany for the knockout UEFA Champions League game at Stuttgart. Adrian Mutu is missing with a thigh strain. Carlo Cudicini, Damien Duff and Hernán Crespo who all missed the weekend defeat by Arsenal are in the squad and optimistic of being involved. The 21 are: Carlo Cudicini, Neil Sullivan, Marco Ambrosio; Mario Melchiot, Glen Johnson, William Gallas, John Terry, Marcel Desailly, Robert Huth, Wayne Bridge, Celestine Babayaro; Scott Parker, Jesper Grønkjær, Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard, Gérémi, Damien Duff, Joe Cole; Eidur Gudjohnsen, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Hernán Crespo.
So it definately is Depor v. Juve?? This is crazy, ESPN in America is crap. So how would I be able to watch this match? What is ESPN Depor? Do I have to order it? EDIT: Adelphia does not have a contract with ESPN Depor so this is not available for me.
Well, have fun watching a German team to win then ;-) Stuttgart did beat ManU last year, so why let Chelsea win? ;-) it will be a thrilling game and I am very sad about it not being broadcastet live on german public TV (only Pay TV). They had to show the such important Bayern (grr!) cu Squig
Stuck at work, PBP appreciated - i'll have soccernet matchtracker up. Probable Lineup: Cudicini Johnson Terry Gallas Bridge Gronkajer Lampard Makalele Geremi Gudjohnson Crespo
