    Is it on basic DirecTV? I don't know if I have it, but if I can do you can bet I will be taping all of them. Are they showing full matches?

    They are not full games. It is just a 1 hour documentary on the different club rivalries of the sport. All times are 8pm-9pm EST:

    That is as far as their schedule goes. I assume they will probably do profiles of all the other World Cup champions during the week of July 19.

    Why no English rivalries?

    The fact the old firm game is missing is a bit surprising as well.

    I guess they are going for more of a latin flavor; profiling latin countries as well as latin derbies.

    Why no German, French, English, Russiam, hell why not some history of Soccer in the USA?

    according to directv.com, the History International Channel is part of the Total Choice Plus package, but is not included in the base Total Choice package.

    Inter vs Milan is probably the tamest derby ever. But I'm sure it makes nice TV. You have to make a choice...

    True. If you ask both supporters which club they hate the most they would both say Juve. It's not like Barca/Real, Celtic/Rangers, River/Boca, etc. But the atmosphere and the superstars make the game appealing to many. Roma/Lazio is the biggest derby in Italy. Both clubs hate each other with a passion.
