That would be like watching little league after the world series. Fox Soccer Channel shows matches from the English and Italian leagues (and others), as well as some international matches. ESPN shows the Champions League (European championship for clubs rather than countries.)

Ok, I need some info

They have this in the Olympics right or no?


Also when is the world cup and all that?

Now I can actually watch the US and know whats goin on and really root for them.

2010.

These things are every 4 years.

Next European Championship 2012...then 2016...

World Cups 2010....2014 and so on.

Yes, but the teams consist of players under 23 years old plus up to three wild card overage players. So you won't see the strongest international teams, and most major nations don't take it as seriously as the World Cup or their continental championship.

Not really, though you did get to start with a very entertaining tournament - you may never see one that good again.

But...

1. International Football: Qualifying for the 2010 world cup has already started, the US played a couple of weeks ago I think. WC qualifying for European countries will start in a couple of months, and South American qualifying has started too I think, or will do soon. You can catch a lot of that on TV if you look around.

2. Club Football. The richest teams in England, Spain and Italy can afford to put together teams that would defeat pretty much any international/country team - whether that's fair or leads to higher entertainment is not clear, but it does mean you can see the world's greatest players in the national leagues as well as the champions league, all of which you can find on TV also.

Here's one site where you can find what's going to be on TV

Yeah, it's great. A triumph for football. But do you know what really pisses me off? The sheer amount of smug people that I've come across who "backed Spain from the begining"...

... Well, a lot of people have! Every two years for as long as I can remember! A stopped clock and all that. Bloody 'ell.

[Jim]

Oh, and by back, I mean as in backed them to win. You know... Fancied them for it and all that.

Not at all!, FA Cup & Champions League finals barely ever live up the hype. Euro or World Cup championships that do are even rarer! Pick a team, watch some Seria A, La Liga or Premiership matches. What you have to remember is that international teams spend a couple of months together a year. The domestic season lasts for nine! When domestic teams play, they really play.

Ah yes, I am pretty smug.

I used to only watch the World Cup as well, but the last 2 years or so, I've really gotten into the sport as well.

It's so lame when people say there is no scoring, or all they do is "kick the ball around."

I wish they could see the light too.

International football is great when it's on, but most people mainly watch some league or the other (English, Spanish, Italian etc) since it runs for most of the year. Think of internationals as an added bonus rather than the main event.

  Me too.

It was the first time I've ever backed Spain though, it was also the first time my tips ever ended up winning

This loss has been hard for me. I've invested so much in this team for the last 10 years. Every championship I tell everybody that I'm certain Deutschland will win, and every time they lose, usually in the semi's or finals.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

If you stop with the bold predictions, maybe Deutschland might win!
