Basically.

I was in Dallas Easter weekend and had a great time. I was born there and so I went back to my roots. Good times.

You're kidding right? I mean first you embarrass yourself on the soccer board and now here?

ESPN 2 is the home of MLS Soccer Saturday. ESPN 2 also carries Champions League coverage which features teams like Real Madrid and Manchester United. USA vs. Mexico will be shown next week as well.

In fact, I met an ESPN camera man who was at the Dallas Cup when I was there because he was getting footage of Freddy Adu.

When you make comments like that, please have some knowledge to back them up.

soccer highlights on the Top 10 once a month don't count. I am talking about every game with highlights and all. Sure Beckham makes it on everyonce in a while. it don't mean they are covering it.

The movie Bend It Like Beckham is already out and is close to becoming the largest grossing independent or foreign film of all time.

Of course they don't show English soccer games or European soccer games on SportsCenter but they are showing more MLS highlights and once the NBA and NHL finish there will be even more time in the show for highlights.

yeah, exactly, it is big in another country, not the US (which is the discussion)

And they can play it during the summer on SC anyways because that is when i don't really watch SC because baseball is the only thing going.
