If you live in the United States and you have ESPN Classic on your satellite or cable package, you’re in for a treat over the next two weeks. Earlier today (Monday, May 26), ESPN Classic broadcasted the 1972 European Championship final
between West Germany and USSR. If you’re like me, you missed it (ESPN Classic has no plans to show the matches again in the near future, so set your DVRs).
Thankfully, ESPN Classic has more European Championship Finals in store. Each weekday night at 7pm ET between now and the beginning of Euro 2008, the TV network will air all of the Euro finals from 1972 to 2004.
Here’s the schedule:
Monday, May 26, 7pm ET:
West Germany v USSR, 1972 Final
Tuesday, May 27, 7pm ET:
Czechoslovakia v West Germany, 1976 Final
Wednesday, May 28, 7pm ET:
West Germany v Belgium, 1980 Final
Thursday, May 29, 7pm ET:
Spain v France, 1984 Final, 1984 Final
Friday, May 30, 7pm ET:
Netherlands v Russia, 1988 Final
Monday, June 2, 7pm ET:
Denmark v Germany, 1992 Final
Tuesday, June 3, 7pm ET:
Germany v Czech Republic, 1996 Final
Wednesday, June 4, 7pm ET:
France v Italy, 2000 Final
Thursday, June 5, 7pm ET:
Portugal v Greece, 2004 Final
Can’t wait for that Italy/France 2000 game. I’ll be back in the US in time for it!
Do you know if there will be repeats? I missed the 88 final, which I really wanted to see.
No reruns unfortunately.
Cheers,
