If there’s one thing I’m sure of when it comes to America, it’s the fact we love ourselves some playoffs. We demand postseason tournaments to determine our sports champions and can’t even fathom ending a season without only rewarding the team that’s playing the best at the end of the campaign. But despite our affinity for such tournaments, it may still be hard to understand how MLS playoffs work.
Major League Soccer’s Decision Day (the final match week of the regular season) came and went this past Sunday and served as the perfect precursor to the main event: we have absolutely no idea how this’ll all pan out. You’ll find our how to watch MLS Playoffs 2018 and a knockout round preview below.
As the Barcelona vs. Real Madrid rivalry draws near, people across the country will be Googling "How To Watch El Clasico In US" on Sunday morning.
El Clásico kicks off at 11:15 a.m. Eastern on Sunday and while this will be the first edition without Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi in more than 10 years, it’s still the biggest rivalry in sports, and we think it’s gonna be lit.
I’ll admit, when I first saw Bleacher Report put out a Champions League cartoon, I ignored it because I assumed they wouldn’t produce anything funny. Then I accidentally watched some during TNT’s pregame show.
Created by Andy Haynes and directed by Adam and Craig Malamut, who did Game of Zones for Bleacher Report, The Champions is a goofy look at the stars of the Champions League in animated shorts. And, surprisingly, it’s kinda funny.
After a dramatic 18-day search and rescue mission resulted in 12 members of the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach being saved from the Tham Luang cave complex back in July, the group has now made their first studio since the incident, appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in Los Angeles.
Unless Lionel Messi returns to the national team and wins the 2022 World Cup, the Maradona vs Messi debate is unlikely to ever be resolved.
But Diego Maradona has his own opinions, and they aren’t very nice to the man who might be the greatest player of his generation.
The 2018 Concacaf Women's Championship schedule kicks off Thursday in Cary, North Carolina, with the USWNT facing off against Mexico. The tournament doubles as qualifying for the 2019 World Cup. It’s kind of a big deal, with two of the world’s top five teams involved, fighting for three and a half World Cup berths.
Here’s everything you need to know, from the Concacaf Women's Championship schedule and preview to why it matters and how to watch it.
Turner Sports is having a first go at broadcasting the Champions League in the U.S. Its first week came with mixed reviews (mostly negative), but a bizarre TNT Champions League outage in the first half of the Manchester United-Valencia match on Tuesday was by far the worst transgression as a broadcaster of the Champions League.
The weekend is finally here and we’ve got league football all around the globe. It may not be as exciting as everything we saw in the Champions League (or even the Europa League) this week, but it’s still enough to keep you awake.
Or maybe not — at least for this German announcer.
So, were you able to find the Champions League on TNT? Or were you left scratching your head as to how to watch the world’s best club competition?
The U.S. Champions League TV rights are no longer owned by Fox (hallelujah!), so you may have had some trouble finding the tournament this week (if you didn’t read this).
