How the ************ does a team that didn't make the playoffs lead the league in scheduled appearances the following season - especially in a league where 8 of 10 teams make the playoffs. Absolute ************************.
That's why he's here! Until the league has grown a lot more, decisions on TV time will not always seem fair and likely often even after the league has good tv contracts that sponsors actually pay for.
That news is a little disappointing to me because: A) That means we only get one game on TV, instead of seeing the Metros and the ESPN national game and B) I think MSG's coverage is much better than ESPN's anyway.
I completly agree. ESPN has the worst soccer coverage ever. I would rather watch a spanish language channel (and I don't speak a word of it) than hear some over paid announcers ignore important play on the field, to interview [insert US Nat player's name] on the sidelines. I'd much rather see Shep Messing rip into his own home team than hear Jack Edwards and the "Jack Edwards clones" mess up players names.
