The Art of the Deal: - Even though tix were going for face value and lower throughout the week, this guy was able to get a Super Bowl ticket for $100. But that's not even the most amazing part - scroll down to 2:38 p.m. CT. That being said, what's been the best deal you've ever scored before a sporting event?

When trying to pull up comments for the archived posts, it brings up a mefi subdirectory (which leads to a 404) instead of comments.cfm. Not that there's a ton of stuff that's there which isn't on the FP anyway...

Ah - I didn't know the search function was case-sensitive. That does wonders. ;)

I'm searching for the SpoFi group, but my results show nothing. Is the site still not working?

Oops - I forgot to add that all the games will be shown on Fox Sports World in the US, just like last year.

Those "??" games are... July 29: Chelsea vs Roma (Heinz Field, Pittsburgh) Aug 2: Chelsea vs Milan (Lincoln Financial Field, Philly) Aug 3: AS Roma vs Liverpool (Giants Stadium, E. Rutherford) Full press release here. (Hopefully I'll be able to work some of these.)

Since I'm stuck in my own office and I usually listen to music in the afternoon, I decided to plunk down the $4.95 monthly for the UEFA Action Pass. I don't mean to sound like a pitchman, but getting live audio and being able to watch any match from this season's campaign is pretty damn good when all you catch on TV is one match per match week. Every so often you can get a snapshot of play from the Stamford Bridge webcam, which is where I'll be in just over 2 weeks! Woohoo!

I've missed seeing "Uni Watch" at the back of the Village Voice every couple of weeks (they've dropped their usual sports coverage entirely) and I've wondered if it appeared elsewhere. Thanks for finding it!

Um, they haven't even said who Adu is going to play for have they? Yes, they have. At the very least, that money is going to get people into the stadiums, so it might be a nice ROI for the MLS.

Right when the EPL season began, I moved from NJ to VA and didn't have constant internet access (or a job) for a bit. Hopefully I'll be a little more stable next year!

[C]an somebody tell me how many teams can get in overall, and then, how many can qualify from each continental zone? Africa = 5 teams qualify Asia = 4 teams qualify, 1 team in playoff against CONCACAF 4th place team Europe = 13 teams qualify plus Germany (host) CONCACAF (N. America, Carribbean, Central America) = 3 teams qualify, 1 team in playoff against Asia 5th place team Oceania = 1 team in playoff against CONEMBOL 5th place team CONEMBOL (S. America) = 4 teams qualify, 1 team in playoff against Oceania winner Total - 5 + 4 + 14 + 3 + 4 + 2 (playoffs) = 32 More info here. [PDF file]

Great - seems like the fancy-shmancy FIFA page has frozen up and the Asia draw is finished. The Beeb is on Oceania now. Oh wait. FIFA's working again. Carry on...

Sorry - I should've said that it all starts at 17:00 CET [aka 16:00 GMT, 11:00 EST, NOW!]. It's been a while. ;)

I believe this is the story you were intending to link to? The goal he had against Juventus last night was amazing. He had a lot of supporters from both sides applauding in appreciation (including myself), at least from where I was sitting.
