Any news about beINSport? I know they're supposed to launch tomorrow, but I cannot find a single thing about who they are launching with or any deals that have been made. With some of the big leagues rearing to start, I wish we knew a little more about the situation here.

Big blow to Arsenal, he'll most likely be out the first 3 months though.

Liverpool and Arsenal are really going to drop off this year unless they make some moves.

My early EPL predictions for the top 4 are:
1) Man U
2) Chelsea
3) Man City
4) New Castle

I think Man U and Man City are a step above everyone else. Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham are the next level.

I don't think Newcastle is in that group.

I would agree that it's Man City/Man United for the title and Chelsea/Arsenal/Tottenham for the other two CL spots. I see the next tier as Liverpool/Everton/Newcastle.

Well, the Crew were able to get a point in Houston in a 2-2 draw.

The equalizing goal for Houston came off a big gaffe from Gruenebaum. I have never been a fan of him, but I have supported him this season -- unfortunately, gaffes like this is probably the reason why he won't win MLS Goalkeeper of the Year. Bummer, because he's been having a nice season. Could be interesting to see what happens with him and Hesmer in the future.

Bummer not getting 3 points though. Now still 7 back of the final playoff spot.

ManU traveling to Goodison Park to take on Everton. About to kick-off on ESPN2.

ManU lost the title because of the late comeback in last seasons thrilling 4-4 draw, and will be looking for revenge. They will have to hope Timmy Howard isnt still in the Mexico-USA game form. Also, RVP not starting, but I believe is available.
