Does he ever? Sounds like its always Max Bretos and Christian Bozzo. Have to admit they are not terrible - at least they can tell me a little bit about the players and whats going on in the league. Which is valuable since I dont habla espanol.

Just got it. Have to agree. I've been missing soccer since the World Cup, and this is the ticket.

Is not on FSW this weekend as I thought there was German Cup games and then the FSW web schedule does not have any games listed for the following weekend.
Has it been dropped for the season?

Be careful. After enjoying 1 1/2 years of glorious FSW it was yanked from my chest cavity by COMCAST Baltimore (as mentioned in that SoccerTV blurb). It happened to be smack dab in the middle of the Gold Cup which really pissed me off.
I can't tell you how bad the withdrawal has been.
I've dropped digital cable and gave a nice scorching explanation to the customer service rep when I did. She didn't appreciate it.
In the near future, I'm going to get the Dish or some such thing.

But of course the Comcast takeover of ATT Broadband is in progress. Boy will you be pissed (like all Comcast screwees.) If Comcast succeeds in expanding their FSW-free empire, will it be the end of FSW? Can FSW survive as a dish-only enterprise? Oh, how I hate Comcrap!

Has Comcast dropped FSW on all of their systems or just in the Philadelphia/Baltimore area?

I dont think they've ever had it - except in the District where they are actually forced to compete with someone that does (Starpower)

I watched it on COMCAST Digital (Baltimore) for 1 1/2 years before they dropped it in January.

Comcast has dropped Fox Sports World from ALL of it's systems. Apparently it competes for some sports with it's own affiliated Outdoor Life Network (OLN). If Comcast buys our Adelphia affiliate, I'm calling DirecTV right away.

Did they drop it in DC? Thank God I have Starpower.

Remember last year when they showed dutch at 5:30mdt, German at 7:30mdt and then english at 10mdt. and then French at 12:30mdt. Now those were the happy days!!!!!!
For some reason FSW is cutting back their programming and it upsets me too. They could at least show the Chilean, Honduran, Columbian and, El Salvadoran they own the rights to.

Those days were so nice. I wasn't a big fan of the french league, but non-stop footy was a beautiful thing.

Don't worry, the Bundesliga was off this past weekend for DFB Pokal (German Cup) matches and next weekend for, I believe, Euro qualifiers. They start up again on Tuesday the 10th (Munich Derby at 5pm ET...tape) and the 11th (Stuttgart:Schalke). They've been updating the FSW site pretty well lately http://www.foxsportsworld.com/world/

All I know is ...
Does anyone else get pumped up when hearing the theme music to their soccer programming that comes on right before the game... OR the music for the Premier League intro before the game?... Kinda techno, kinda celtic hymn... :P

I like Minuto Cero on FSWE.
The lead music and the montage of gameday activity makes me jump outta my seat.
That's when I lived at the folk's place in Manhattan. In Williamsburg, I don't have digital cable, yet TimeWarner promises that it will be here sometime before the New Year.

Has anyone else noticed the gorgeous reporter on Fox Sports World Espanol who reports on internet sports stories? She is on the sports center type show based out of Argentina.

Yup, I know what you mean. My favorite is Futbol Mundial. What a great show. I wish it was an hour long.
