That's what they get for not showing Serie A. Cunts.

Not sure if awesome or gross.Weather130 wrote:dena wrote:There is nothing FSC can do to survive, the CL will be the only thing that keeps them going but once they lose that the channel will phase out (they can try to get the Bundesliga but ratings will be low). There's really only room for two cable soccer channels in this country, and they are BIS and NBCSN now.
The scary thing is that maybe only one year ago you could say the two main soccer channels here were FSC and Goltv but now they are barely above water. It might be a good idea to phase out FSC Plus before more money is lost. Perhaps FSC in a desperation move could try to get either English or Spanish rights for the Mexican league since that is popular over this way. Their is not a conventional move they can make to save themself.
Not sure I want to experience Alexis Lalas try to pronounce a name like Tahuilan.

Oh God, I just now realized that it will mean more American announcers.

I'm conflicted on US commentators. On one hand I'm in favor of them as I think it's important for the US to develop it's own soccer culture without borrowing too much from England.
On the other hand some of the terminology they use seems almost like they are trying their best to not use English terminology. Which makes it sound forced. Like "outside back"

They butcher so many names...The same applies to the English guys that do Serie A for ESPN UK. I had no idea that Lichtenstein played for Juve until last weekend.

Their style never fits, imo. They don't know how to read the game, and so they don't know how to comment in between goals or something larger like that.

American commentators suffer from the NFL's Let's-talk-all-the-time-itis.
