Been watching if I turn it on and they are on or just about on. UEFA Champions League week is another show.
 
I'm sure there was one other, can't remember though.
 
Cheers for the Greatest of All Time one. Where are they up to now? I saw that on the guide and thought it was another baseball or basketball show.

Greatest of All Time is on at the moment. It doesn't appear to have a set time, though sometime after 9pm seems to be the norm. Peter Schmichael (spelling?) today. Had Rudd Gullit the other day.

Was Gabriel Batistuta on tonights ep, tomorrow night at 9:30pm it is Michel Platini.

They didn't announce numbers so must be just their 50 greatest players in no particular order.

That is a great show with plenty of archive footage. Seen Eusebio, di Stefano, Batistuta, Charlton, Rivelino, van basten and Zidane so far. Seems to be on at 9.30pm each night after Soccernet Press Pass.

Another show (part of ESPN documentary series) on Sunday night 4th July @ 10pm called "I scored a Goal" guessing it's about previous world cup goal scorers. Repeated at 1am or 2am Monday.

"I scored a goal in the FIFA World Cup Final"

Just saw this a couple of hours ago. Fantastic programme - interviews with some of the players who scored goals in previous finals (including Pele, Hurst, Carlos Alberto, Muller, Kempes, Rossi, Burruchaga, Brehme, Ronaldo, Materazzi and more) interspersed with the footage of the actual games and goals. Great viewing, amazing to see all those men reminisce about a single moment in their life when they were the king of the world, and then see the very moment yourself. Brilliant.

No, conspicuously absent actually. But Petit was there from the 1998 final, and Materazzi and Grosso (scored the winning penalty in the shootout) from the 2006 final.

Agree, it was quality, fell asleep and missed the Two Escobars though, was looking forward to that.
