    How do you not have a Saturday day or night presence on a major network for the best soccer league in America?

    Wasn't Univision mainly on Fridays?

    I agree that it's odd there's no Saturday game. I know they're trying to turn Sunday night into "soccer night" to improve ratings, but it'd be nice if they could do both. It'd be nice if there were more nationally broadcast games in general.

    Univision/UniMas has these games this year. They aren't every single Saturday but they hit most of them. I like having the national games scheduled away from Saturday night. That way I can watch the national games on Saturday afternoon or Sunday and my local team either on TV or in person on Saturday nights.
