Saturday games are the best, not the sunday games.
And then they give you such exciting things like the world series.
See Manchester vs. Munich, what a ********.

They can keep the cut to one match per week if they bring back the Dutch league! :mad:
They won't so we have to think about next year anyway..

I emailed the guy at soccertv.com. I looked at next weeks games on FSW and noticed no Saturday game. He said they are showing a game this Saturday and then next Sunday on only Sunday games. I have no idea why they are doing this. I know German soccer just signed a new TV deal. I wonder if that has anything to to with this. I hope with enough emails etc we can get the Saturday games back.

I would settle for same day delay just so we get to see the Saturday game of the week

Fox Sports World changed their site. They don't even have a feedback icon.They used to have an icon devoted to the Bundesliga but thats gone.

Perhaps the people at soccertv.com can help with an adress to get in touch with FSW

Agree 100% If they don't change this. I don't know about Dortmund but I know Bayern plays about one Sunday game a year.

Yes, the EPL is a soap League, but the Clubs do everytime to soap it.
Good leagues are, Italian, Spain and German leagues.
The EPL is a great box without faith.
ManU in the BuLi is the fight vs relegation (You see it how strong they played the "world series").

German, French, Dutch, Brazilian, MLS are all filler the only league that makes FSW any money is the EPL.

OK can anybody know for sure that starting next week there won't be Saturday game. If that is the true where can we write to get the Saturday game back even if it's not live.

Click on the feedback icon on the FSW icon. but good luck I got nowhere with the phone number. I emailed them. I guess that's our only way to get their attention. Like I stated earlier I got ahold of the guy at soccertv.com and he's the one who told me about the Saturday games getting the ax. I agree with you even tape delay wouldbe fine. We won't be seeing Bayern much if this dosen't change I think they have 1 Sunday game in the first half of the season and I know Uli is against playing on Sunday

Hallo
This really is a big disapointement what Fox is pulling. I actually called them to find out what was going on before I found this post.
I left germany 5 years ago and played soccer there for almost 7 years in many 2nd and Regional Liga Teams.
Well anyways I enjoyed seeing the 2 games each weekend and now this comming weekend they dont even show 1 game , last weekend the only showed Sunday's match.
The person on the phone could not explain why they dont show, i might had to do with some license or higher charges from the european tv stations or simply with revenue for Fox who feels the EPL is just a better revenue than germany.
However any update on other channels or someone who knows if we can get SAT1 or RTL or ARD or something showing live games over Satelite would be a great help.
Thanx, sorry for the bad english
P.s Just found out that german TV got a Sportschau broadcast and some of the games even National Team games, unfortuanlly due to the Olympics thay cant show those sportshows ( to expensive) till the 39th.
I looked for Goal TV but thats only for Dish Network it seems, since I got digital Cable its not on there offer list
Glueck auf

While I am also unhappy at the cutback in Bundesliga coverage this season, the reason that FSW is not showing any games this weekend is because the Bundesliga is off. Round 3 does not take place until August 28-29.

Germantv has had that for a while, but it's an expensive channel, more expensive thasn goltv, a channel whihc only shows german teams in the uefa cup pretty much. ANd now with the champions league p[ropbably not on espn 2 any more, if u want to watch german teams in the ucl u need to get espn deportes. So next season looks pretty bad for german soccer on american tv. Hopefully it will change over time. And there's always that wonderful review show.
