Wow, that is great news for all the soccer fans here in India I guess and I think there are a lot of them here. A couple work mates of mine are totally berserk about all of the footbal leagues n matches. I am afraid I am a bit ignorant on this but it means that they are going to be showing all of the leagues in Europe like the Spanish league, English premier league, UEFA Euro chapionships etc right? or is this only for the UEFA Euro Championships?

@Raj: Maybe you could give them a link to our website to keep up with all the football events!
As for the announcement, it relates only to the UEFA Euro 2008. The Champions League and such are not exclusive to ESPN, and may or may not be broadcasted in India.
@Goobi: Goobi!!! Dr has to go out on a trip to whereever he had to go. Will be back soon.
