Yes. They need a win and a Deportivo loss to have any chance of squeezing through.

They went to a one game a week format because the ratings were crap.

Unless you have Spanish ESPN you won't be seeing any games at all soon....

You can still catch CL matches if you have a Canadian Dish or Dual Dish Network system with the international package.
 
that sucks...i can't believe the ratings were any worse than some other lousy programing that ESPN has...
i guess i'll always have the mexican league on telemundo...

That's because they never listened to all of us who wrote/emailed etc and asked for more United games!

Idiots!

Is anyone going to show the Cl games?

ESPN Deportes. as of 2003/4 CL fixtures. Then I think in 2005 UEFA will be accepting bids. Lets hope FSW or some other network carries it

I don't blame ESPN. Its their job to provide programming that garners the highest viewer ratings, which in turn brings in the most money. The sad truth is that more people in the US are interested in fishing and hunting shows, than football matches. This isn't ESPN's fault. If more viewers tuned in, then more matches would be on. Its as simple as that.

yeah, i know...it's so much easier just to blame a network than an audience who don't like the same sport i do...

49 mins: A bit of a lull. There's two Irishmen standing on either side of a river. One shouts to the other: "How do you get to the other side?" To which the other replies: "Sure, you're on the other side." I'm allowed tell jokes like that because I'm Irish and there's not much going on in the match. Nobody else is, mind! <hr></blockquote>

Nielsen Ratings. They give selected homes across the country hardware that detects a sampling of national viewing habits. All TV shows, live and die by this system.
