Haha, not completely. I had a tough choice between the quality of Univision vs. the breadth of coverage of FSC. There are also plenty of non-Spanish speaker who hate the ESPN commentators so much they would rather watch the same game on Univision.
I definitely like FSC due to their ambitious commitment to futbol from a variety of cultures. It is the only access I have for EPL and I like their coverage of Argentina, MLS, USL and special features like the Youth Tournament where our hometown Javanon boys took 1st place in the U-19s. They help remind me of many of the layers of soccer in this country. I wish there was a model for a Concacaf game of the week or something like that to keep the region in perspective.
I like FSC, but I liked it more when they had games from more leagues. What happened to games from Germany and France? They also showed Dutch games for a while. They also used to have highlight shows from Asia, Australia, etc. They're starting to become the EPL channel. I also am not a big fan of the Fox Fone-In on Tuesday nights. Nick and Steve may not football, but it's not interesting if the fan's questions are stupid. (I'm not stating anything new here; it's all been said before).
I never understood that. Unless they get better camera work on univision, why not just mute it on espn if you hate it so much? I guess you can still appreciate they yelling and carrying on, that you would miss though.
I don't have the channel right now but I voted for GolTV. I think AmericanSoccer is the best soccer show that focuses on soccer in the US. Also I love listening to Ray Hudson during the matches they show.
Clearly GolTV, they have die BL, La Liga and Serie A...more variety (South American leagues)...just basically stuff I like
They show EPL, Serie A and the Argentine league. They have added the Mexican league and MLS. They have college soccer and the Asian highlight show still comes on. I picked FSC but also like GolTV. I just wish GolTV had a higher production value. Their picture is not nearly the quality of FSC. GolTV also gets points for not having Max Bretos. Wow, that guy is annoying. Ray Hudson is a pretty fun guy to hear do commentary on a match.
fox sports, but here in phoenix we cant get gol tv . but fox sports i mainly like because they show alot of internation club competitions and friendlys. like copa libertadores, sudamericana , toyota world club comp, u-17-20 etc. I switch over to the mexican channels for mexican leauge which is no prob because i can watch all games being played that day in the leauge. record them to my tivo and it aint no prob.
Setanta. EPL, Dutch League, French League, English division 1, Champions League and a good variety of rugby and also Aussie Rules.
Since the only ones I'm able to view is FSC, ESPN, GolTV, & Univision. I would have to say FSC for the premiership action but GolTV would be a close second. ESPN is the worse but their getting better.
Yea theyre getting better, i saw a replay of a champions league game on espn classic. Its great theyre using that channel for more than crappy game/talk shows. Is this new?, because I dont remember the channel showing games in previous seasons.
A month ago, I would have said FSC. But I recently subscribed to Setanta and now it is tops. Setanta now shows more EPL games than FSC (and often seems to get first choice). Also, they show the Champions League games. So for the most part, I am TiVo'ing weekend games on both FSC & Setanta and on Champions League dates, I can TiVo games on EPSN and Setanta. I can usually see between 8 and 10 EPL games per weekend and 4 to 6 Champions League games on each Matchday.
One comment, 2 of the regular announcers on FSC are like clones of Max. These 3 are silly, geeky, nitwits who are very annoying.
FSC, but I liked them better when they showed French and German games/highlights. They are showing more college games now. I'll soon be getting Direct TV just so I can get Sentata.
I second Sky Sports. If you ever have a chance to catch a torrent of a match, watch. FSC, though, is my only real option.
Can we make this a little less yankocentric d'you think? Sky, BBC, ITV and Channel 5 should be up there as well (+ other options). Considering we brits represent a quarter of your membership.
I'm shea whitie and voted FSC. I think GolTV has better games on average, but Argentine league on FSC is my favorite.
