"Soccer Made in Germany" -- wasn't that broadcast by ETV/PBS? I remember it very well. Once a week during the mid-to-late 1970s. Super show.
Hurst66, I looked all over my cable channels Tuesday night wanting to DVR the Arsenal/Real Madrid match alas to no avail. Wish I would have known that ESPN2 was going to show the match (I was too lazy to consult --
http://soccertv.com/ -- but should have in hindsight).
I like baseball as much as anyone, but the World Baseball Championships are a farce and definitely a "made for ESPN production". Means absolutely nothing in the sports world. Fabrication 101!
P.S. -- Fox Soccer Channel (149 on TimeWarner in Columbia) is outstanding!
