Strange because FOX's Bundesliga coverage is good

I'm shocked at how much of a gap there is between FOX's mainstream soccer coverage and how they cover Bundesliga. It's always a fight whether of not I can watch Werder on English or Spanish broadcasts, but whoever they bring in for recap coverage is always well done.

It's like they just aim for low-balling all their soccer. Maybe they have something up their sleeve though. I did like their WWC coverage from 2015. And I heard their coverage of the WWC final was amazing (I don't know though, I was in the stadium front row = D )


USMNT's failure to qualify continues to impact

decisions. I said it when the USMNT were eliminated, the guys at ESPN must be laughing themselves silly at Fox paying out the amount they paid for Russia and Qatar.


I don't like any of the play by play guys

Not a single one.

I want Ian Darke. He was great in Brazil in 2014.


Andres Cantor and Telemundo might be your safe harbor.

And no, I don't know Spanish mucho.

I'm fine with JP. He's not the top banana but he's a vet of many matches.


I'll watch on mute, if I watch.

The latter is a possibility as I doubt I'll be able to stand their push for El Tri.
