    Is there a chance that ESPN will EVER (not this year) show more than one MLS game a week?

    Not until viewers increase. I don't know the numbers but I believe that would be the case. Does anybody know how many viewers there are for the MLS games?

    I certainly hope so. I would also like to see ESPN or ESPN2 pick up some EPL games. Fox Sports World doesn't cut it sometimes. Going to the bar is not something I ALWAYS like to do...oh wait....yeah it is.

    ESPN2 ratings averaged .19 last year, which is pretty low by that channel's standards.

    MLS is buying the time on ESPN. In theory, if they were willing to pay enough, they could show another game every week. I highly doubt the investment would pay off, though.

    Get a cable/dish provider with Fox Sports World and the Shootout package if you want more.

    MLS Shootout package: the best $49 I ever spent.

    When there are more than ten times and the ratings improve greatly.
