    No surprise. The show was at a foolish time slot and Wynalda does not belong on TV, he is horrible. I think ESPNFC is significantly better and with the limited amount of TV I watch outside of live sports, I am going to pick ESPNFC everyday. The big factor is that FSD often conflicts with live soccer, making it irrelevant. Hopefully they just put it on late-night going forward.

    Needless to mention that FOX should eliminate the blue scrollbar during live matches.

    I've seldom watched FS Daily, but the times I did I wasn't impressed.

    If something is needless to mention, do you know what most people do, they don't mention it. But sending Fox Soccer daily back to the drawing board is like having surgery on an ingrown toenail while you are dying of massive blood loss from a wolverine attack. Fox commentators do not work on the sports they allegedly "care" about. They cannot seem to find a balance between Gus Johnson and Ben Stein from the Ferris Bueller movie. I watched a basketball doubleheader on there a couple weeks ago and the first pbp announcer screamed at us and the second had to be prodded into speaking. They need new talent all over soccer isn't getting screwed by fox talent wise they are just terrible. I am dreading who they will roll out for the North London Derby in the cup this weekend.

    No surprise. This show is absolutely horrible and can't hold a candle to ESPNFC. I gave it a few tries but it just doesn't provide the viewer with good debate, analysis, or even entertainment. ESPNFC has about 15 people it can call on while Fox Soccer Daily has Wynalda, Barton, and Grant Wahl besides a couple others. Julie Stewart Binks is an ok host but here knowledge of the game is amateurish compared to Dan Thomas/Max Bretos. This is just another example in a long line of mistakes by Fox when it comes to soccer. I'll admit I'm biased and really with Fox would lose all its soccer content to other networks. They have zero respect for the game which is unfortunate since they have so much actual content(WC, CL, EL, Gold Cup, FA Cup, Bundesliga) and potentially MLS. Their whole operation looks shoddy when compared to ESPN/NBC.

    ESPNFC and BEIN's The Locker Room are so much better.

    I find this very surprising, I mean having 'FOX' on your CV is the ultimate! I'm sure its the first thing BBC, Al-Jazeera, ESPN, etc look for when they're hiring. How can FOX not get great talent to work for them? :sneaky:
