[NQR] "FOX Soccer Channel to debut Feb. 7" (Tuesday, 1/11/05)

it's abouth f**** Time, theres a Soccer Channel, couse i was tired of the g-a-y ass golf channel

Goooooooooooooo Quakes

 

What does this realy mean? No more rugby? More MLS?

 

same amount of MLS. Less rugby and aussie rules.

 

There's a rumor that they might be going for American World Cup TV rights after next year.

 

This is great news. I see a slow evolution (I hope). I'm sure that Aussie Rules and Rugby Football will be given ample time.

 

Does this replace FSW or is it in addition to?

 

Read the article. It's a rebranding of Fox Sports World. It is not an additional channel.

 

My bad, after a cup of coffee it's obvious. This works for me, I added the sports package just to get FSW and soccer is all I watch there.

 

Now I got a reason to watch the Super Bowl pre-game.

IIRC, they're trotting out the Freddy and Mia show for that preview. Make sure the treble on your sound systems is way down low. The kids may break glass on this one.

 

It looks to be about 90% what already exists on FSW. But still, it is more of a good thing, a base from which to grow and a commitment to the American soccer scene. I'm looking forward to the show on the amatuer scene.

 

I'm hearing rugby will be gone after this summer. And that sucks. How many more Ligue 1 reruns do we need?

 

I personally think rugby is booooooring, but, if you read to the end of the article it says "Coverage of soccer-related sports such as futsal (indoor soccer) and rugby will also receive time on the channel."

Good for you.

Anybody looking for a preview of the channel can watch the crystal palace v bolton game on now, 11:00pm 2/6/05. I don't like the starting XI graphics but can't complain other than that....

 

The graphics are very spiffy, though I do agree that there's something that detracts from the starting lineups. Aside from the, very nice.
