In early August of 2006, it was announced that ESPN had paid for the rights to broadcast MLS. At the announcement, officials from both sides agreed that ESPN would brand MLS with all the glory that its broadcasting style conveys to U.S. sports fans.

Atop Group A Roma have definitely turned the right corner with a renewed march toward this year's Champions League final again possible. After a terrible start to their domestic season and the shocking opening loss to CFR Cluj in the Group stage, all is forgiven by Romanista fans with Roma's reversal of the group opener beating Romanian side Cluj […]
