EURO 2008 - AUSTRIA & SWITZERLAND STARTS TOMORROW!

For all you soccer freaks out there the Euro 2008 starts tomorrow. Set your Tivos or DVR’s because there are tons of games. Unless you are unemployed or totally determined you will need to record some to see them all. This will be the first year the European Championships are broadcast live in the United States. They are putting most games on ESPN. This a big move for the U.S. who is trying to further expand the coverage the beautiful game.Most of the games will be on ESPN2, with a few more thrown at ESPN and ESPN Classic (and of course on ESPNDeportes as well). ABC is getting the final, along with a random quarterfinal game. A really wierd setup if you ask me.
