ESPN has been patient throughout this entire 2009-2010 Premier League season in regards to which matches they've been able to televise live on ESPN2.

I've never been a big fan of the away goals rule because it seems like an odd rule that exists only as a cruel and unusual punishment to knock a losing team out of a cup tournament. But the match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich was a perfect example of how well it can […]

Manchester United were eliminated from the most coveted Cup competition in the world on Wednesday night in heartbreaking fashion.

During the last round of Champions League action, Fox Soccer Channel's Bobby McMahon joined me to break down Chelsea's pivotal match at Stamford Bridge against Internazionale. Today, the analyst was kind enough to join us again to engage in the same detailed discussion of Manchester United's second leg of their quarterfinal match-up with Bayern Munich.

Manchester United host Bayern Munich knowing a 1-0 home victory would suffice to advance to the semi-finals. Manchester are well aware of Bayern's ability to score given the plethora of talent on the German side.

Last week in the build-up to the English Premier League's most anticipated match of the season, there were many in the press and blogosphere that openly questioned Dimitar Berbatov's ability to replace Wayne Rooney as an effective lone striker.
