Would you rather FSW...
Focused on showing more and more from one nation, England, (this year) or
worked to bring you soccer from a wider variety of leagues (years past).
I'll let y'all respond a few times before chiming in, so that this thread won't be about my preference.

More from different leagues. The premier league is all well and good, but I really prefer seeing several other leagues. The games from Spain they get are normally not the prime games of the week. Germany, Argentina and Brazil are all fun to watch. I enjoyed France and Italy when they had those.

When FSW announced they'd show La Liga, I was pretty excited, thinking I'd be able to watch Barca. However, I haven't seen any of their games on FSW, even though they advertise the big names like Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Raul, and so forth.
But can't complain about them carrying EPL since it gives me a chance to watch Arsenal.

personally...
get rid of the spanish game every week. it is always the 4th choice and usually a bad game, i would rather see the dutch league like last year when every weekend you saw PSV or ajax, two very good teams...plus seeing johnny o was always nice.
other than that, keep it pretty much the same as it is now. i enjoy getting the few EPL games, the two different SPL games...and then the mix of south american leagues. variety is nice.

dont get me wrong - i love EPL, think its the best overal league in the world - but BRING BACK EREDIVISIE
dutch soccer is very entertaining attack football and certainly dont mind seeing AJAX every other week
the french game is also fun to watch, so i kinda miss that too
basically, the bigger the spread at a buffet the better right? more to try, more to like i say

Bring back the Dutch teams. I watched Ajax earlier this season in the UCL and they were exciting to watch. Fancy moves with great ball skills. What a great bunch of youngsters along with a couple of oldies.

I would like to see some of the English lower divisions. I have really enjoyed watching the FA Cup matches so far.
I think it is b/c Sky Sports focus on the English leagues that I find it easier to follow those teams and I am more familiar w/ how the teams are doing this season. Plus, so many of the websites I visit also focus on the English game that I just tend to follow those leagues.
Speaking English probably has the most to do w/ it.

FSW the La Liga experiment has been a disaster. You only show 1 game a week never show it live and you don't show the 2 big teams. Drop Spanish,Argentine and Brazilian leagues bring back French and Dutch leagues and add English division 1.

I'm a bit biased b/c I'm such a Premiership fan. The german games are often quite good (team-wise), but the spanish games have often been the third or fourth choice game of that week.
The dutch games I watched last year were very entertaining. I would have liked to have seen them return.

Agree with most of the sentiment here. I love watching EPL because so many of the players are familiar. I like watching the German games also. However, I would prefer Dutch and French back in place of Spain. I think that Barca and Real have such big TV deals themselves that FSW cannot get those games.
