When it comes to being a sports fan, Sunday is definitely the best day of the week.When you're also a fan of American sports and live in Israel with a 7 hour time difference, Sunday is pretty much the only day of the week when you can follow all your favourite sports at once, at a decent time.Throw in a batch of quality European soccer - and you get what I call Super Sports Sunday.
Today's Super Sports Sunday starts at 15:15 (my local time) with the biggest match the English Premier League has to offer - the Manchester Derby, as league leaders Manchester United travel to Etihad Stadium to play current champions, Manchester City, who are currently ranked second, three points behind United.
Still in Europe, 45 minutes after the kick-off in Manchester - 5 matches in the Italian Serie A are kicking off.The most interesting one will be played in Sicily as struggling Palermo will host league leaders Juventus.Palermo are having an unusually bad season as they're only 2 points above relegation zone, while Juventus are still leading the league (2 points clear of Napoli).The real match of the day in Italy will be played at 21:45 - but I'll get to that a bit later.
Moving to 20:00 o'clock and across the ocean - its week 14 in the NFL, with no less than 10 matches kicking off (3 more will kick off between 23:15-23:15, and the Sunday Night Football match at late night).The Chicago Bears are travelling to Minnesota for a classis NFC North rivalry match.The Vikings are quite mediocre this season (which is an improvement compared to last year), but have lost at home only once this season, and would like nothing more than to ruin the Bears' playoff aspirations.The Dallas Cowboys will try to gain ground in the messed up NFC East, but they will have to get it in Cincinatti, where the Bengals are trying to keep their heads above the water in the AFC wildcard race.Another team with an outside chance at wildcard contention are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that will host the circus that's going on with the Philadelphia Eagles.Atlanta will play in Carolina, and are unlikely to stumble against a team that has won only once at home this season.Pittsburgh (hosting San Diego) and Indianapolis (hosting Tennessee) are unlikely to stumble either.
Moving to 21:45, and back to Italy - as #3 Inter are hosting #2 Napoli.Inter are currently 4 points from the top, Napoli are 2.I won't even try to predict that one.
Back in the NFL - in the three matches that start between 23:15-23:25 the Giants (host New Orleans), 49ers (host Miami) and Seattle (host Arizona, and still undefeated at home) will likely get the Ws
No really interesting basketball games tonight, and thats too bad.But nonetheless its still going to be a great day of American Football and European Soccer.
So pour yourselves a glass of beer, seat back and enjoy the show!
