Is the US/Japan soccer game on ESPN today?

EDIT - yes, the game is on friggin' ESPN. It's a good thing that my local ABC channel shows nothing but infomercials on Sundays.
Hopefully one of the many Spanish language stations that I get in HD over the air will have the game. Their soccer announcers are much better anyway.

Footballing giant crashes out on penalties. (No, not that one.)

He exchanged high-fives with playing partners Trent Dilfer and Greg Maddox

Can NO ONE spell Greg Maddux's name correctly?! If he finds out you spelled it wrong, he TORTURES the hooker for an EXTRA HALF HOUR before killing her.

And that pain will be on the writer's conscious...

Watch Delmon Young's reaction at 0:50 of the clip from Thome's 490ft home run.

Yeah, Thome hit it hard.

Better than Ian Darke? I must be missing a heck of a broadcast.

I don't know who that is. I don't watch a whole lot of soccer, but when I do watch, I hear some vanilla WASPy type of guy barely getting through a game without falling asleep. I guess I'm missing out now.
