My turn to miss the games tomorrow due to work. Oh well, I will get to watch them next Tuesday.

Someone remind me...are the Finals played as 2 leg's or just one match?

Pedro gets it back. PSG needs to score or they're going home.

Headed to PKs in Switzerland.

Tottenham 2(4) - 2(4) Basel

Dempsey with both SPurs goals, including the game tying goal with 8 minutes to play. Tottenhamd played the last 5 minutes and 31 min of ET a man down after a red card.

Jozy has a hat trick in the 1st half for AZ. In a 9...NINE...minute span. Though 2 are PKs, that is still awesome.

Really hope he is still playing well when our summer qualifiers get going.

BC announces their plans for the upcoming EPL season. A lot of good stuff in there. I like it.

Love it. I do wonder just how many games will be on normal TV and how many will be on Premier League Extra Time. Hope it's at least one game on NBC and two on NBC Sports each weekend.

Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

Thats awesome. Looks like if you have the NBCSN channel, you will automatically get the Premiere league extra time channel for free.

That's a good deal! I assume they have Chelsea games on that channel?

Thank God ESPN can no longer ruin soccer with their half-hearted attempt to show it.

I mean, they helped grow the sport a lot by first purchasing the EPL and UCL/WC/Euros etc...But they did NOTHING once they purchased it.

NBC looks to have real plans here, similar to what FOX has with the UCL. This is great news.

I'd reckon. Chelsea games are never an issue for me to watch, however. Their matches are shown on FSC it seems 99% of the time.

I hope that more broadcasters are able to make a deal with NBC Sports Extra. There's only four or so providers on the list, and it'd be pretty cool for most people to have access to all the games online for free through their provider. Better than the Fox Soccer 2go thing.

Comcast, Cablevision and Verizon are pretty big providers, I imagine it'll expand soon.

Crew looked terrible tonight. Haven't won in Chicago since 2006. Terrible.

1 corner and 0 shots on goal. Maybe only 5 attempts at goal too, compared to Fire's 22ish.
