Games You Should Watch While Not Watching Usain Bolt

(IAAF World Championships start tomorrow. Check that out. I'll probably write something after Bolt runs an 8.4 in the 100 Sunday, or whatever).

An 8:30 (my time) Bundesliga match
Seriously, why did they put three awesome matches at the same time? Bayern-Werder, Hamburg-Dortmund, and Leverkusen-Hoffenheim all ought to be pretty good. So, do a complicated series of coinflips to decide on what match to watch, and then switch while one of the others is 4-4 after 30 minutes. Assuming that doesn't just happen to me.

Everton-Arsenal
Pretty nice, for an opening match. Arsenal may or not get relegated, apparently, and Everton are pretty good when not telling Man City to fuck off. Anyway, it should be interesting.

LA-Seattle
...because you've always wanted to see how someone with swine flu would play?

PSV-Ajax
Does anyone have any idea if either of these teams are any good? Me neither. This will be interesting, in a weird sort of way. Both of these teams are expected to challenge for the title, but last season sort of changed shit in the Eredivisie. I now have no clue what's going to happen.

Tottenham-Liverpool
(may or not actually be a good match. I..don't know)
