As of press time, no TV provider is broadcasting Fox Soccer Plus in HD. Fox Soccer Plus is on
DirecTV, DISH Network and Verizon FiOS, but each of the three channels are only showing the channel
in SD.
But what would Fox Soccer Plus look like in HD if you could see it?

January 1, 2010 was supposed to mark day one of Fox Soccer Channel not being available on Time
Warner Cable due to a squabble over how much Time Warner would pay News Corp., which owns Fox
Soccer Channel (as well as other Fox networks), for the right to carry its cable and broadcast
channels.

Consider this an open thread for the "midweek" round of fixtures. Â Right now Spurs have almost
seen off West Ham. Â No Bassong today, which is a disappointment. Â Also I'm looking at Diamanti
for the Barn Door. Team news is coming out for the other matches. Â Reid is MIA for Sunderland
while Saha is missing for the Toffees.

There will be a couple of notable returns to old stomping grounds in the Champions League round
of 16. With Jose Mourinho going back to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea and David Beckham facing
off against Manchester United, some old passions will be renewed and a couple of old grudges
brought to the surface.

Lost in the flurry of news coming out of FIFA's Executive Committee meeting in South Africa this
week was an announcement that the FIFA Women's World Cup will expand from 16 to 24 teams from 2015
onwards (there will be no change for the 2011 World Cup in Germany).
As I mentioned on Twitter, receiving a varied and interesting reaction, I'm unsure if this
change is positive for the profile of the women's game.

I can't stop watching this goal (starting at 2:05). Not only is it a quality cross from Wallace,
but Jaime's dummy is almost diabolical in its simplicity! It is absolute magic from 99 to let that
ball go through and how that isn't an assist requires a rewriting of the rules. The main thing that
I can't get over is how slowly the ball is moving when Jaime lets it go through.
