Due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the US this week, we will not be able to post a Matchday 5 preview show. However, look for our next episode to come out next week with a recap and review of the Matchday 5 encounters, who has qualified for the knockout stage and who still has work to do in Matchday 6. We may even throw in some Euro 2008 qualifying discussion.

So be on the lookout for MD5 commentary at the end of next week!

The Oguchi Onyewu transfer saga continues.  England's Daily Star Sunday and News of the World are reporting that Chelsea will make a deal to sign Onyewu from Belgium's Standard Liege for approximately 3 million GBP.

The Sunday Mirror notes that Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler will follow David Beckham to MLS.  DC United is rumored to be Fowler's destination.

Would these be good moves for the players and teams involved?  Send us your thoughts at scpodcast@gmail.com.

ESPN2 is starting a UEFA Champions League Highlights Show, premiering today (right now, actually!) from 2-3 pm eastern time. Not sure the schedule in the future, but my understanding is that it will be broadcast every Friday of a week with Champions League matches. Glad to see ESPN increasing their Euro soccer coverage. Now let's just hope they stay with it...

Here's the web site for the movie itself (which I could not find through Google for some reason):

And it will be broadcast NEXT WEEK on ESPN2: Wed. Sept. 20 at 9:00 pm eastern.

Thanks to listener ScottyJ for the detail!

...referenced in Episode 1 is:

Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos.

It might still be playing in some theaters, and is supposedly going to be shown on ESPN in October.
