Worthington Cup Final: Liverpool v Manchester United (Sun 2pmGMT/9amEST).: The Worthington Cup (formerly known as the League Cup) final will be played this Sunday between traditional arch-rivals, Liverpool and Man Utd. Winners of England's second-best tourney (the FA Cup is the premier knockout championship) automatically qualify for next year's second-best Euro championship, the UEFA Cup (the Champions league is the "best"). Liverpool is hot off a UEFA Cup win over Auxerre yesterday, while Man Utd hopes to build on a thumping 3-0 Champions League win over Juventus in Turin just three days ago. Who will take it?

More here. I liked Man Utd's look on Tuesday, with Keane playing center back with Ferdinand. With Silvestre and possibly Brown back that probably won't happen. Although they played a little lackadaisical (having needed a tie against a sick team to ensure advancement), I hope they can carry over some of the success they had.

Seems to only be on DirecTV and Dish Network. I'm going to have to catch it on BBC Five Live. Click Listen Live at the very top some time between 8-11am EST Sunday.

Congrats to worldcup and StarFucker on the win. Can we call it the consolation cup? In all seriousness, it is always good to see Man U go down in flames.

Man U will finish out of the silverware this season. At this rate, they'll be lucky to finish fourth or fifth in the EPL, will be knocked out of the Champions League and FA Cup (have they already?) and Ferguson will take early retirement.

Well, that was an unexpected result, though to be honest I wanted both teams to lose. Here's to another trophy-free season for Man U.
