EPL Talk 04 November @ 01:46 PM EST
In my NyQuil haze, I screwed up the math. Through some combination of the time change (which
happens earlier in England than in the States) and me sleeping through my usual routine of checking
multiple sites to figure out the kickoff, I was an hour off. As I slumped into the pub, sucking on
a cough drop, I still thought I was early enough to grab a seat and some pre-match breakfast, but I
found a room full of sullen Liverpool supporters and a match well underway.

Quick look at the most meaningful World Cup qualifiers Saturday. Home teams first, all times
Eastern, all predictions wrong.
ASIA/OCEANIABahrain-New Zealand (11:30 a.m., FSC). First leg of a playoff to send a team to the World Cup that
will excite no one.
EUROPE (second-to-last group games unless noted -- group winners advance, eight
runners-up advance to playoff)
Group 1: Portugal-Hungary (3:40 p.

This is it. The entire world wraps up the group rounds of world cup qualifying. After Wednesday,
there will only be 5 slots (4 in UEFA and the CONCACAF-CONMEBOL play off) left to fill. Who will
handle the pressure? Who won't? Who will be the shock entrants, and who will shockingly miss out?

I hate that I do!
Right, it's been a while since my last rant so here goes!
After the recent success of the 3 Lions qualifiers with 2 games to spare, I'm still going to
have a grumble. Believe it not children, England are playing the Ukraine on Saturday. It is a WC
qualifier and gives Fabio a chance to work with the squad without the pressure of putting points on
the board.

The Future of Live Football
If you want to watch England in this Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Ukraine you
have three choices — travel to Dnipropetrovsk or watch it live on the internet or at a
cinema.
Setanta would have been showing the match on TV if the company had not ceased trading in June
2009.

Punters shouldn't have to pick up Setanta's tab... again As the fallout from the Setanta shambles
continues, news agencies are this morning reporting that England's World Cup qualifier in Ukraine
next Saturday will not be available live on any television channel. In a surprising turn of events,
it will be available only online on a pay-per-view [.

Next weekend sees a big test in the ongoing debate over whether people will pay for premium
content on the internet, when the World Cup qualifier between Ukraine and England in Dnipropetrovsk

collapse of Setanta during the summer.

2:45pm, live in the US on espn360.com. Supposedly, ESPN360 is the only US outlet. My internet
provider doesn't get it. Most people I know don't get it. Super.
Setanta has US rights for Carling Cup too, but they're not showing a Tuesday game. Hopefully
they'll be a stream somewhere.
Last 3 matches:Liverpool: 3-2 West Ham (a); 1-0 Debrecen (h); 4-0 Burnley (h)
Leeds: 4-1 Gillingham (h); 0-0 Southend (a); 2-0 Stockport (h)

According to press reports this evening, the Blue Square Premier has been unable to reach
agreement with the new boy in the British pay television market, ESPN. This comes as no great
surprise. For one thing, lower division football doesn't exactly fit in with the profile that the
nascent channel has built up over the last couple of months, a profile based upon top European
football, Premier League football and American sports.

Dude, don't get a Dell. Saturday morning was primed to be a bellwether test of trying to

morphed into an exercise in erring when my laptop wouldn't turn on. So goodbye Manchester
