Like 'em or not, Coldplay have always stuck to their guns - and their principles, one of them being not selling their music to anyone who isn't worth it. Seems football(what we in north America call 'soccer') is a cause near and dear enough to their hearts that the band have struck a deal with ESPN to incorporate their material into coverage of the Euro2008 soccer tournament next month. Much of the music heard will be from the band's new album Viva La Vida, out June 12th. [Sports Illustrated]
