I can't wait to hear what the announcement is. Any expectations of the package? Game of the week? highlight show sounds like a given.
What I heard was a sat game of the week and a weekly hour long hilights show. but that was only rumor.
I'd be very happy with either or both of those shows. thanks again for your great reports from Chilé.
then you should be estatic as this is two, both live: 1. espn2 2. fsw plus whatever burn games might be aired locally or you having the shoot-out... oh yeah, HDNet will be airing mls matches as well, so there's yet another option for viewing some matches
If the MLS stillhad midweek games and FSW did those, then it would be a good deal. Howevert both ESPN2 and FSW aren't known for picking the games of the week. Here is an example for both: espn2:Man U's 2nd Team Vs Devepotro(sp). FSW: Derby Vs Everton.
One thing in favor of MLS is every game is a good game for us to watch. We should all make every effort to watch every game.
I try to have that in mind when I am watching KC and DC just kick the ball back and forth, doing nothing.
Actually DC might be okay to watch. KC - just kick it long to Wolff and bore me to death - but I'll grab a pizza and a Dr Pepper to keep me awake.
well ESPN 2 had to probably pick which games to show ahead of time so they thought that the Man. U-Deportivo game would be a group decider when in reality we had already taken 1st place and the Derby game well its probably the only EPL game on midweek so they just showed it for the hell of it.
Everton may play boring football at times, but at least most of their key players aren't French mercenaries.
Depends on what Sky is showing, so I can't blame FSW. I'm just looking forward to games on TV and me watching them.
