    ESPN sucked a$$ in the World Cup. I wanted to murder the baseball-turned-sawker guy, resurrect him, then kill him again.

    FSC is solid enough, though I know there is better out there. I just don't get it.

    I miss the XM radio coverage of soccer I fell in love with during the World Cup. I wish they covered more soccer in Ingles.

    I watch the Galaxy home games in person, but watch Galaxy away games on whatever channel has them. I'm usually in a bar and can't hear anyway so I could care less what language or how crappy I KNOW the announcers are.

    I would have to go for GolTV because, like someone said in a previous post, it shows the Bundesliga, and it even has the program Hallo! Bundesliga which is nice to watch.

    I would rank Setanta Sports second because they do seem to show games of teams that more than likely I would never get to see on the other networks.

    FSC is third for me. I like their EPL coverage but the main reason why I put it third is more because of their Fox Soccer News. They can go over all the EPL scores and highlights plus add La Liga and Serie A scores and highlights (thought not to the same degree as the EPL but enough) but they can't do the same for any other leagues in Europe.

    ESPN sucks and that's all there is to that. I hate the commentators on that channel plus the continuous score bar across the screen.

    TSN Old NASL games

    I read that this channel was going to start showing old NASL games , Anyone know anything about this . All i could find was there is a Canada TSN . NO cable company or Direct TV ,dish net carries anything Canadian . There's another cool channel CTV . You probably need one those giant satellite dishes thats bars have . I guess back in the NASL days TSN,USA Network,Sports-vision of Chicago and WGN would play games , They also had this week in Soccer maybe on ABC every Saturday or Sunday . IT be cool if they would play some games on TV . I wonder why ESPN Classic does not show anything from the NASL or (MISL indoor the original) From 78 till they Joined the NPSL . Anyway just curious if anyone knew anything ?

    Thanks .

    I suspect they know that the ratings (TV is ALL about ratings) for CLASSIC NASL games would be about 1/10th of a typical MLS game on TV.

    Those numbers = idea dead on arrival.

    TyC from Argentina is outstanding !!!

    If you folks only knew how great this channel is, the insight into how the game is played is explained in exquisite detail on Codigo F(one of it's shows), plus other wonderful shows, archival footage of great games from Argentina guaranteed to give you soccer-goosebumps.

    Estudio Futbol is the best show, great insight with as you say "exquisite detail"

    this channel is simply the best for the spanish speaking audience

    Canal +

    It's not a soccer channel, but they show all important soccer events : world cup, euro, the french league (canal + is french), english cup (the big games) and it's final, all the other european leagues every week-end in a long summary (2 hours) and all the imporant games of these leagues live.

    And their coverage is top, and they show no publicity AT ALL before, after and at half times.

    I have been surprised by the percentage of GolTV viewers. I assume it is only available on Satellite.

    In Australia it has to be SBS. They showed all of the world cup and they show all of the aussies matches.

    All three of the Fox Sports channels -- aptly named Fox Sports 1, 2 and 3 -- absolutely trump what's on free-to-air, same as in the USA.

    From England, they can and do show five, minimum, English Premiership matches a week and one game from the Coca-Cola Championship, not to mention all of the week's A-League games from over here (I'm not really that interested in the A-League, but it's good to know that they're giving the domestic competition a fair bit of airtime).

    Now, only if they'll only show more MLS, like ESPN Int'l does, on occasion. ;)

    For the purposes of this poll, I voted for ESPN, by virtue of the ESPN Int'l channel here in the Pacific Rim, but that was a toss-of-the-coin choice, anyhow, between that and the combination of all three Fox Sports channels here.
