...or knuckle under and get GolTV or RAI Int'l. (Whom both should be covering this match, btw.)
ESPN en Espanol has a lot of great games but isn't necessarily easy for gringos to get their hands on. They actually bother to show the many CL games when ESPN2 is otherwise showing competitive sheep shearing.

Well, after an incredibly short summer, seemingly, another stagione is upon us. Expectations are high once again with the squad and staff we are privledged enough to have, and the best way to start off a new campaign is with a convincing win.
After reading most of Tim Park's book "A Season With Verona," he has transformed me into a "Flying Donkey" hater....he describes a club that was born without much of a fanbase, as 99% of Veronese supposedly support the Gialloblu of Hellas. Chievo was supposedly established because money and player power can make any project work, and as Parks alludes, Chievo is just evidence that a healthy fanbase is no longer needed to form a successful and profitable club, or more commonly, just an average club.
Chievo is perhaps one of the most loathsome clubs I have ever read about. And even though the fanbase we have in the stands of the Delle Alpi is not always the most packed and numerous, we have thousands of other supporters throughout the world who protest every call, celebrate every goal, loathe every player who does us wrong, suffer through every loss, and yell before every match FORZA JUVE just as I will do in a few days time. No matter what anybody says, we are indeed true supporters of Juventus.
And with this support, let us thrash Chievo and make them look like the puppet club they are.

I don't know much about the background and history of the Flying Donkeys myself....interesting. Tim Parks' book is one of the top ones on my list of "wanted to read for the past 3 years, but haven't gotten around to it yet". I'll definitely have to soon.
...Well, after I finish How Soccer Explains the World.
