The 2008 Emirates Cup is the second annual pre-season tournament held at Emirates Stadium in London. Hosted by current reigning cup champions, Arsenal, the two-day tournament is played “group style,” meaning each team plays two matches and is awarded three points for a win, one point for a draw and one point for every goal scored. The team with the highest point total at the end of the tournament is crowned the 2008 Emirates Cup Champion.

Anybody know if GolTV is available on Comcast?
Yea, it’s on Comcast. If you subscribe to FSC, GolTV should be part of the same package. Excellent, excellent news here!
Oh cool, you wouldn’t happen to have comcast in Chicago would you? And know what channel GolTV is?
Comcast Chicago has GolTv on 268, right next to FSC.
Excellent, nice to see a major pre-season tournament on US television. Another sign of the big interest in our favorite sport.
Oh wow I can’t believe I didn’t see it. Thanks a lot, I might go watch right now.
Anyone know if goltv is available on TimeWarner in NYC?
GolTV in NYC? No, it is not on Time Warner Cable in NYC.
Per Time Warner’s New York website, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Mt. Vernon will get GOL TV on 8/6 as an addition to the sports tier (which is an extra $2.95/month).
