    Was everyones audio out of synch during the ManUtd v Arsenal match?
    Usually clears up at half, but this was the whole match.
    I was on DirecTv btw.

    Really annoys me when that happens. Especially in one of the biggest matches of the season.

    I was watching on DirecTV as well but the audio was fine for me.

    Or, for that matter, Fox Soccer USA? Or the show "hosted" by Beckham?

    Meanwhile, "American Soccer" keeps going on GolTV.

    yesterday on Fox Soccer Report Mitch Peacock called Totti "The Italian International". Doesn't he do research?

    Without context, I'm not sure what the issue is. Isn't Totti an Italian international (as in having played for the Azzuri)?

    I believe Totti has retired from the Italian national team. I wonder what was up with Bobby's Monday absence from FSR.

    he retired from the national team. So he's not an Italian international anymore.

    That's like calling Paul Scholes an England International or Brad Friedel a US international.

    So he forgot to say 'former' before 'international', lets hunt him down and teach him a lesson! c'mon man, talk about nitpicking

    I don't think it's nearly as bad as you seem to. To me once you're an international you are always an international, granted he should have said former but it's not like he called him a French international or something like that or called some stiff of a player an international. He'll probably unretire just in time to suit up for the Euro just like he became healthy just in time for the world cup.

    For a show like FSR this is a very minor error cut them some slack.

    Nothing was up - he stated in his blog on foxsoccer.com that he wasn't going to be there and he had only seen 2 matches over the weekend. Other commitments I suppose.

    Are they one of the clubs that is sponsored by a gambling website? I know a lot of those usually get left off the shirts in videogames so maybe it's something like that.

    Speaking of those shirts on display.

    Maybe it's just me, but when i'm watching those studio highlights, I never see the jerseys of the teams actually playing that game.

    They'll stick us with Wigan and Newcastle, yet we get Man U and Arsenal shirts.

    I have nothing against those teams, but keeping the displayed jerseys to the teams actually playing that match would just add to the feel.

    Didn't realise FSC was getting BarcaTv.

    Not a Barca supporter, but hopefully it's interesting.

    Hell, I am! :D
    FSE also has the half hour "Barça News" listed, which FSC does not have on their schedule.

    The Goals Of The Season show FSC is airing is absolutely top notch. Despite the seemingly odd commercial breaks, this show is the tits.

    Anyone else who watches on COMCAST having trouble recently. The show will come on for a couple hours and then it goes dark...?

    yeah, for me it is all pixellated. several other channels are doing the same thing. seems like a problem at the transmission end but the phone/online support people are clueless. All they can do is send the signal to reset the box and schedule a service appointment.

    Reading that hockey vs. soccer ratings thread, and something raised in there leads me to a question?

    What is FSC's usual rating/viewership for a typical Saturday game?

    To break it down a bit, how many viewers for a match involving the Big Four, how many for matches without the Big Four?
