Press Pass the show we all hear about but cant see is now on soccernet .com. Its just a segment with Derek Rae , Eddie Mighten and Tommy Smyth.
These guys go at it pretty good the segment is on Ronaldo and Beckham. Maybe soon ESPN2 will put it on in the US. They also have Harry Kewell talking about the game with Bolton. Plus Martin o Neill from Celtic, and Tommy Smyth on MLS players. Great content if you want to keep up with the World Game. The Brits know what is good in Football.

I just check some of it out and I'm glad we can now see something more from ESPN Gol than just our one-match-per-round Champions League matches. Let's hope they add even more clips.

There is NO chance of seeing this show on ESPN2.
The show is available to a few US cable systems via ESPN Broadband.
Also note that this show is targeted for ESPN Australia and ESPN New Zealand.
ESPN has two similar shows targeted for the Americas in Fuera de Juego (from Bristol) and Futbol Picante (from Mexico DF), both of which air on ESPN Deportes, the outlet for ESPN's international futbol products in the US market.

===============================
I guess you know more than the people at ESPN who say the show is for the following places.
====================================
Kick off each and every weekend as Gol ESPN Press Pass puts the games hottest talking points under the microscope. And viewers in Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Israel and the Middle East can be part of the debate
-------------------------------------------------
To me it looks like its a soccer show that could be on anywhere in the world.

FYI:
Press Pass is aired LIVE (or on short turnaround), during evening prime time, only on ESPN Australia and ESPN New Zealand each Friday.
The content of Press Pass has always been and will always be skewed toward the audience in Australia and New Zealand.
Press Pass is shown as filler material on ESPN Israel and Orbit ESPN in the Middle East and Northern Africa several hours later. Those markets are NOT the primary targets.
Again, there is no chance of ever seeing Press Pass on ESPN2 in the US. The show is available on ESPN Broadband to a handful of systems (not the major MSOs, however) as filler material.
Fuera de Juego is the show intended for the US and Latin America markets and is aired in the US on ESPN Deportes.
In the Americas, Fuera de Juego is shown during evening prime time on Fridays and Mondays.

Do Tommy and Eddie always argue a lot?
The clips on Soccernet right now look a bit like Pardon The Interruption.

I have it on good authority that Tommy and Eddie do NOT like each other.
The arguments DRIVE the viewership for Press Pass in the targeted markets: Australia and New Zealand.
Similarly, the analysts argue all the time on Fuera de Juego, a similar show targeted for "fanaticos" the Americas, including the US (available on ESPN Deportes).

Anyone seen this show on the regular? What do you think about it? They were plugging the heck out of it during the CL match this week.
