A Soccer Double Header?

Wow.

It was days like yesterday that led me to write Oxymoron ...

It is also why I have added the subtitle From Pele to Beckham aka From Novelty to Profitability ...

Yes ... ABC showed two soccer matches back to back on a Sunday ... and neither of them were World Cup matches ...

DC United 4 - Los Angeles Galaxy 1 and Spain 1 - Germany 0

ABC did not dumb down their broadcasts. They assumed it was a soccer watching group and allowed their British announcers to announce and had retired US Men's and Women's National Team players doing various forms of commentary.

The days of searching for soccer on TV and hoping to hear something feel like a long, long time ago.
