Panama has a player by the name of Tejeda playing in Mexico. The guy is :smokin
He's scored 8 goals in the 9 that he's played and scored on his debut playing in the last 20 minutes for Toluca, if panama gets things straight they can do some damage. The same goes for Bryan Ruiz and Costa Rica

He's ok, he's just taken advantage of the opportunities. He's taken everybody by storm, but I remember him playing in colombia, scoring against Mexico in the 2005 WCQ, playing for Juan Aurich in Peru, etc...
 
Kagawa out for 3-4 weeks with a knee injury... similar to what sidelined Ashley Young!

Yeah, he won't. Apparently convicts over 70 can't serve time in Italy- a law pushed through by Silvio himself. Convenient. :lol:

Speaking of Milan, Allegri is on the clock. They've been absolutely shocking.

NBC Universal Is Front-Runner In Bid For U.S. TV Rights For EPL

By John Ourand, Staff Writer

Published October 26, 2012
NBC Universal has emerged as the clear front-runner in the race to pick up U.S. rights to the EPL as part of a three-year deal starting with the '13-14 season, according to multiple informed sources. NBC Universal would not return repeated phones calls seeking comment. EPL is expected to make a formal announcement early next week, but sources paint a picture that has NBC in the final stages of a bidding process that started just last week and involved the biggest network groups in the U.S.

Sources say NBC's bid would pay the EPL around $83M per year, an amount that would more than triple the $23M per year that Fox currently pays. Sources say Fox and ESPN have been told that their joint bid was not accepted. It is not clear if the Al Jazeera network, BeIN Sport, still is in the running. The emergence of NBC Universal as the clear front-runner in this bidding process comes as a surprise. In the weeks leading up to the bidding process, NBC sources downplayed the company's interest.

NBC's bid faced a lot of strong competition. The EPL last sold its rights three years ago to Fox Soccer, which wound up sub-licensing about 80 games per season to ESPN. The two submitted a similar bid this week. Terms of the deal are not known, but a source described Fox/ESPN's losing bid as aggressive. Friday morning was the deadline for submitting the new bids to the EPL. The loss of the EPL could sting Fox Soccer, which relies heavily on EPL matches and analysis shows for programming.

NBC would be better for any league. The picture quality and HD are better on NBC. Fox has always had a darker tone. Plus NBC would probably televise more games on their anchor NBC station (Channel 4 here). Anglos who the EPL caters to (since they are anglos-no racism) would probably stubble upon an EPL game more likely on NBC than Fox Soccer.
