Weekend TV listings

Record posting day, what is this #6 or 7?
Go to bed!!

Dempsey's back.

It's just too bad most of them were related to labor negotiations instead of DCU preseason coverage. Or magical stadium news. Or U8 weekend previews.

Unrelated note:

Real Madrid GK, Casillas, apologizes to fans for losing against Lyon and failing to advance.

Remember when Janicki blew it against Maraton by being directly responsible for allowing 3 goals in a Champions league match?

I remember posting on this site that Janicki should issue an apology to the media and the fans. Why won't MLS players own up to their mistakes, publicly, like in other leagues??

"Dempsey's back."

I'll do the Yanks in England FSC doubleheaer -- Donovan's (probable) last hurrah and then Altidore on FSC. Good thing I don't have FSP, or I'd be stuck watching a possible clean sheet for Friedel and Aston Villa next, and the ManU-Fulham tilt on Sunday. At least, Holden's not playing, with the Bolton game on FSC, or I might have been swallowed up by the couch....Dare I mention El Gringo Torres on Telefutura?

Who needs MLS?

I'm kidding, by the way. Almost every one of those boys got their start in MLS....

The USA needs MLS. Call your Congressman. Write the White House. Nationalize the league.

@redskinsux -- Janicki didn't need the media. He could have personally apologized to all 260 DCU fans watching that match.

Last joke of the night -- because the one before wasn't good:

I don't even know why Casillas thought he had to apologize. He couldn't have stopped that shot. Who does he think he is? Hope Solo?

"Last joke of the night -- because the one before wasn't good:

I think it was an apology from the team, and he did the admiral thing by also taking responsibility for himself. I agree, he had little chance to stop that goal. But with expectations of what they are, an apology is appropriate.

Ahhh, he did the "admiral" thing as any good Navy man would.
You guys crack me up...I thought we were done with the jokes.

Those EPL/YA matches, but also add Barca v the Bats on espn2 (HD, I'm hoping).

Is Casillas a Navy man? After Massa's interview on Fox, that has a whole new meaning?

I'll probably catch bits and pieces of Birmingham-Everton, Hull-Arsenal, and Napoli-Fiorentina; but will definitely watch Livorna-ROMA

1. Watching Bethesda player Alex Doll tonight at 8 with the U-17s.

2. FSC gets Livorno/Roma at same time FSP gets Man U/Fulham. So if I want to watch the A game I guess I'll have to upgrade and pay the man.

3. "Apologizing" to fans for a poor result or performance is a false thing. Neither Casillas nor Janicki owe anything to supporters other than to provide their best effort. If they were cheating, or doping, or playing under compromised conditions because of drinking or drugging . . . then an apology would be called for. But because of a poor result? Or because they were overmatched? No.

Doing the Admiral Thing, Scandinavian style.

Did anyone else end up getting fishing last week instead of their ESPN2 EPL game? Fishing?! Really?! I was so disappointed! Hope it doesn't happen again this week!

"What are you going to watch?"

How about a LOT of rain while running a site at this weekend's ASIST tournament...anyone got a towel?

FSC always shows a Serie A match on Sunday mornings.

Remember daylight savings Sunday morning.

we can get enormous coverage of foreign games, but i can't even watch half of DC United's games this season???? it really seems to me as though MLS is completely uninterested in promoting the league and its' product (soccer games). how can they hope to expand the viewing fan base and popularize soccer in America when they make games inaccessible???

That's not MLS's fault Alex. Talk to DCU about working out a proper local TV deal. There are clubs out there who have all their games broadcast. Unfortunately United has a deal with Comcast who is famous for keeping their contractual obligation to the Skins, Caps, and Wizards while canceling coverage they've promised to United. Just wait and see what happens when the Caps make another Cup run..
