      German reserves play no higher than 3rd Liga, and I think Spanish clubs simply have to stay a level below their senior team. Not too sure about others.

        I notice the various stations of the NBC networks are trying to make a splash out of "Championship Sunday" in the EPL, running all ten games live at the same time. Too bad for them that most of the results are already locked in place. No mystery about relegation, and all Man City needs is a tie to guarantee 1st place.

          Looks like Blatter is going for a fifth term. Looks like the screwing of the USA and England continues.

              Klinsmann releases preliminary 30-man World Cup roster

              Random thoughts:

              17 of the 30 players have last names beginning with the letters A through E. Weird.

              DeAndre Yedlin has crazy hair.

              Very disappointing that Stuart Holden has had such bad luck with injuries. If healthy he'd be preferable to any number of these guys.

              No Eddie Johnson, no Tim Ream, no Brek Shea, no Jose Torres, no Sacha Kljestan.

                  Agreed that it's a shame that Holden has had such terrible luck with injuries. He deserves a spot, if he were healthy.

                  Snubs? You could make an argument for Ream or Shea, but otherwise I'm not seeing anything all that egregious.

                    Shea is mediocre and has had a terrible year. He deserves to be left out.

                      Interesting to see Donovan listed as a "forward." I've generally seen him listed as a "mid-fielder."

                        Glad Eddie Johnson is not going. He is a Locker Room Cancer. Killed the Sounders last year with his *ing about his contract.

                          MLS Announces new TV contracts with Univision, ESPN, and Fox.

                          Worth about $90 million ($75 million from ESPN and Fox and $15 million from Univision) a year. Each network gets one exclusive game a week in a specific time slot, Univision gets Friday night on UniMàs, ESPN gets Sunday night at 5 pm Eastern on ESPN2, Fox gets Sunday night at 7 pm Eastern on Fox Sports 1. Rest of the games are on local TV on Saturdays with ESPN getting digital rights for ESPN3.

                          So, MLS goes back to Fox and leaves NBC. The good news is that they have guaranteed time slots, no wondering when the games will be on.

                            Good for FS1, bad for NBCSN. Probably good for ESPN, but I honestly don't give a **** what's good for ESPN.

                            I wonder what properties NBCSN needs to start looking at in the near future to help shore up what's starting to look too much like the old Vs. lineup.

                              Well, I mean, the Premier League is a pretty big differentiator from what they had on Vs., no?

                                Fair point. You could also add college hockey (not that that's much of an addition, other than for our needs), but that's pretty much it. It's otherwise still the same mix of small-scale eastern college football, cycling, F1, piddly college basketball and nature shows.
