HD Sportsman – June 28-July 5 Independance Edition

Sadly, the US went out in the first round of the knockout stage at the World Cup. That leaves a pretty big hole in the July 4 week viewing. Not that the World Cup stops there, my adopted team – The Dutch – are still in it. This week we’ll get to the quarterfinals of the event. Elsewhere, Wimbledon comes to a close Sunday morning on NBC after a week of action on ESPN and NBC. The 2010 Tour de France almost takes over Versus starting Saturday. Happy 4th!

SPOTLIGHT

Saturday and Sunday mornings starting at 9 a.m. on NBC (1080i) you get the women’s and men’s Wimbledon finals.

Here’s the rest of the week, big games in BOLD.
