Good news, Euro 2008 coming to Stateside TV!

As long as it's not up against the NBA draft or NASCAR pre-race commentary, or ice-dancing, ABC will put it on the air!

NYON, Switzerland - ESPN and ABC will televise soccer's 2008 European Championship under an agreement announced Friday by the Union of European Football Associations.

All 31 games will be televised in the United States: two by ABC and the rest by ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPN Classic. The tournament will be played in Austria and Switzerland from June 7-29.

"We continue to see the appeal of soccer in America growing, and particularly when comes in a time of the day that's unique and not up against U.S. sports prime time," ESPN International executive vice president Russell Wolff said.
