La Liga,Soccer Central,Update

140px-LFP.svg ESPN left behind the disappointment of not being able to get the rights for the UEFA Championship league games by purchasing the rights from GolTV to televise a good number of matches of Spain’s La Liga. La Liga is a huge hit on the Spanish language television. GolTV broadcasts 24-hours of soccer from across the world and has been telecasting games from the Spanish League from several years.

Real Madrid’s new acquisitions, Ronaldo and Kaka have only added to the charm of La Liga. The telecast of the matches would be shared on the ESPN family network. 360.com would show around 114 games while ESPN Deportes gets 95 and ESPN2 will show around 20 matches. The deal is set to increase the distribution chances of Deportes and also help GolTV to get a good return on its investment.

  • A source from inside the AC Milan front office has stated that Milan has a 90% chance of acquiring Ronaldinho.  This is a huge update and we will see how this occurs.  You can only imagine a team that already has Kaka, Pirlo, Pato, Maldini, and now ‘dinho.
  • Barca’s 15 million euro bid for the services of Andrei Arshavin have been denied.  Zenit St. Petersburg may see keeping him as a better choice than taking the 15 million euro or 11.91 million pounds.  One possible reason for keeping the very talented play-maker is Russia’s popularity may raise.  Since going as far as the semis in the Euro 2008, something that no one expected, more people may flock to Russia’s professional ranks.  We shall see how this one plays out.
  • Liverpool has just sold English striker Peter Crouch to Portsmouth.  He will surely see more playing time without the likes of Fernando Torres and Kuyt on the same team.  However, there is one even that will unfortunately not occur next season for Crouch and that is the UEFA Champion’s League.  He will be playing for the Cup instead.
  • Brazil’s  Olympic National Team has two new additions, Ronaldinho and Robinho have been selected to represent their country.  As I have stated before, there can be two “over-age” players on the Olympic team roster.

It’s Showtime Tomorrow!

Tomorrow’s UEFA Champion’s League Final Match is tomorrow. I am very excited as many people in all of Europe and the rest of the world are. What a great match, Manchester United versus Chelsea, I can’t wait.

Manchester United: Look for Ronaldo to star as he is being considered as the top-player in the world right now. The Reds’ side looks hungry for a win tomorrow.

Chelsea: Supporters and hooligans of Chelsea were holding their breath after the collision between keeper Petr Cech and captain John Terry. It looks as if the injury will not affect Terry’s return to the starting lineup. He resumed training last week and should be fit for tomorrow.


Wow I’m excited. Cheers.

hey jason, nice article, and definitely something to think about. It is true that there is a huge gulf between say club soccer, high school soccer, and college level soccer. You know that I want to play at the NCAA level, but I do understand that, realistically, I'm just not
