Brazil looks boned-- besides Neymar it looks like Willian got injured (then again he might play tomorrow--Neymar also wants to play if they make the final). Looks like they are terrible on the attack. BUT with the ref in their pocket and threat of riots and FIFA's blessing they can achieve *anything* (ughhh). [EDIT: it's Chiquidrácula from Italy-Uruguay! They'll stuff his pockets.]

I'm worried about Di Maria missing--while on paper he didn't always do a lot, on the pitch he was always opening up spaces. On the upside, the 4-4-2 seemed to have worked better for Argentina's defense, but we'll have to wait for Sabella's lineup because he surprises.

TOTALLY UNRELATED TV QUESTION (EUROPA LEAGUE)

I'm looking at my TV budget for this year and it looks like a cable contract would be a pain in the ass (I don't watch TV in the traditional sense and I don't need to buy 300 useless channels for 2 years so I can get the 4 sports channels I want).

Getting a streaming deal with Fox looks good though---no national leagues unfortunately, but I'd catch CL games *plus* Europa League matches. Looks to me like if I get into Europa League I'd get to see most European top teams in greater variety and it would be a huge bang for the buck. Plus CL+EL = 300+ games for the season. There are other bonuses to this stream but only marginal to the deal for me. The real meat is the two transeuropean leagues.

SO-- anyone here following the Europa League? You like? You'd recommend?

Thanks!
