I believe that Gol TV has coverage of the UEFA Cup. It is not widely available on standard cable systems, but it is starting to get picked up more and more by digital cable systems, so I would check for availability. I think the Final will be on Fox Sports World as well.

From the Fox Sports World to Fox Soccer Channel press release:

"Fox Soccer Channel will draw more than 80% of its first-run programming hours from world-class soccer competitions, including the Barclays English Premier League, the English FA Cup, the UEFA Cup,...... "

So fingers crossed, rumor has it it may be both semi-finals and the final.

I would love to see the Boro in the UEFA knockout round, especially considering they are out of England's two cups, and injuries are seriously crimping their early good run toward the top end of the table in the Premiership.

They will win the premiership 05/06. On FM05 at least.

So it sounds like ESPN2 won't be showing any matches? Too bad, I seem to remember them showing at least a few early knockout round matches.

I think you are thinking of the Champion's League. ESPN2 does show one match per round of the CL, but they have no UEFA Cup coverage.

That's what I meant. I always get the terminology mixed up.
