A sure sign of the ridiculousness of the so-called "Champions" League is this...
In the USA, Fox Sports has won this year's contract to air the Champions League matches. However, tomorrow the US ESPN -- a direct competitor to Fox Sports -- is showing Atletico Madrid-Juventus. Why? Because the games Fox Sports will air are loaded with money and they want to show Arsenal-Gala instead, so ESPN said, "Well, if you're not going to air Atletico-Juve..."
The irony is that the only two matches in the Champions League this week that are between actual league champions are Atletico-Juve and Malmo-Olympiakos. I really do wish they would get rid of these ridiculous 3rd and 4th place teams, but instead UEFA is going to introduce 5th and 6th place wankers from the EPL. :sergoi:
