Summary: Anto is joined by ESPN Commentator and ESPN Press Pass co-host Janusz Michallik for a supershow on a variety of major stories that center on the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and the semi-final talking points in the Champions League. We start on the matter of goal line decisions and simulation in football today and take a serious economic approach to how huge decisions now are well beyond just issues of sporting justice - clubs, leagues and players are being hit with multi-million euro impacts that have a clear bearing on the bottom line. Then we take a look at how the players themselves with an increasing frequency are undermining the game with all kinds of tactics that put referees unfairly in the spotlight and some of this may come down to managers themselves who encourage how players shape contact into fouls. Next we move to some of the key issues in the Premier League affecting the race for fourth to gauge whether Tottenham, Chelsea or Newcastle grab fourth and a ticket to the millions in TV money. We also talk Chelsea at a crossroads and whether Roman Abramovich might regret not making the manager change even sooner and left himself too little wiggle room. Then we move to the battles in Serie A between Juventus and Milan for first and the key pieces missing for the defending champion Rossoneri and the race for third and the millions in Champions League football awaiting either Roma, Lazio or Udinese and who might win the lottery ticket. We also talk a bit about Borussia Dortmund and how it might just shape what host nation Poland could do this summer in the European Championship and whether the host nations are serious dark horse candidates in Poland and Ukraine given the group stage opponents they have. In the end we move to the Champions League with focus on these semi-final match-ups as two legged ties to determine just how close Jose Mourinho might be to becoming the first manager to win the Champions League with three different teams. We preview the issues ahead for Real Madrid who might just be the favorite given that the final is a one-off on a neutral pitch and Chelsea might just prove to be a very dangerous threat to Barcelona given the squad available to the Blues. This is a massive supershow with one of the classiest commentators out there today.
