ESPN Classic Becomes Euro Soccer Heaven

How excited does ESPN want you to get over EURO 2008? Try this: this week and next, ESPN Classic is airing European Football Championship matches from the past four decades. The match replays will air every weeknight at 7:00 PM Eastern, and the full schedule is here.

So if you never got to see current UEFA president Michel Platini score the free kick that won France its first major trophy in 1984, here's your chance. I can already sense just how thrilled most FanHouse readers must be at that.

Interestingly enough, today's England v. USA friendly is also airing on ESPN Classic. Several EURO 2008 matches will be shown on ESPN Classic, too, as well as a EURO 2008 preview show hosted by James Richardson of The Guardian's Football Weekly podcast. Perhaps this gives just a bit more credence to those rumors that the Worldwide Leader wants to convert ESPN Classic into something else. Will we see an ESPN Soccer Channel soon after this?
