Expanded, and hopefully better, coverage for the EPL, the Special One back at the Bridge, the whole season as a lead up to the World Cup next summer.
Going to be good.  |

Tired of watching the reruns on FoxSoccer Channel. Great to have the season start again. Coming off the Gold Cup win I'm psyced about the MNT going forward. First time ever this team is really deep.

Coming off the Gold Cup win I'm psyced about the MNT going forward. First time ever this team is really deep. There have been a lot of test matches lately. On Dish, I have BeIn sport, which showed a lot of them. FWIW: Fox Soccer Channel is going away I think, as is Speed. They're being consolidated into Fox Sport 1. FSC has lost the broadcast rights to the EPL to NBC is one reason. As Fox lost the U.S. television rights to broadcast Premier League soccer events to NBC, Fox Soccer will be replaced on September 2, 2013 by FXX, an entertainment sister network to FX. All of the remaining sports programming from Fox Soccer will be moved to Fox Sports 1, which launches on August 17, 2013. Fox Sports 1 (FS1) is an upcoming American sports-oriented cable and satellite television channel. The network will air live sporting events, including Big East basketball the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Major League Baseball (starting in 2014), the UFC, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and original programming. |

Hey Zhukov, Man U has lived up to your expectations so far in preseason.
I'm hoping they get the losses out of their system prior to the season. |

In for another season of probable disappointment. I don't even care about winning the league at this point...just get back into contention for the Champions League.
Any thoughts on Dempsey's move to the Sounders? |

So is anyone else pulling their hair out about the awful announcing we've had to endure on Fox Soccer? At least BeIn has that crazy Irish guy, but damn if that FSC guy doesn't sound like JP Dellacamera. He is perhaps the most inept, most unlikable announcer EVER. His voice makes me want to strangle kittens. If it's not him, then we are cursed with a perfect voice-double.

As bad as Johnson and JP were during the Gold Cup final, I was actually more annoyed by Wynalda's commentary. I think he bugged me so much because he was saying incredibly obvious things and acting like they were profound insights.
Who was the guy during the US v Mexico game that made the comment about the US team's corner kick defense looking like "The Alamo"? That's the sort of colorful commentary we need more of, for pure comedy's sake.

Dempsey to Sounders – I thought it was a good move. He will get plenty of playing time leading up to the World Cup next summer. He wasn’t going to get much time at Spurs.
Gus Johnson - I got to say I like him but then again he did join the American Outlaws and as an American Outlaw I can’t hate on a fellow member. Eric Wynalda - I love that dude. He tells it like it is. Doesn’t sugarcoat anything. Sure he says some crap that is obvious a lot but hell… what person out there doesn’t do that? I agree on the Ian/Steve combo. They are good together. **ETA** I'm normally at the soccer pub we all watch at so I don't get to hear everything said. We are usually singing songs/screaming at calls/etc etc etc so needless to say I can make out about every other word spoken through the speakers. |

Mourinho comments really had Ronaldo fired up and were worth at least one RM goal last night. His header was amazing given the perfect timing and how unmarked he'd managed to get. I missed exactly how he got that open in the replays.

The Bundesliga is underway again. Munich is already up 2-0 after 15 minutes against Moenchengladbach. Robben after an amazing pass from Ribery, and Mandzukic for #2.
[ETA] This is basically the same team they played last year. Thiago Alcantara has the flu and Goetze is still injured. Frightening. |

The perspective that the American owners of Man UTD, Liverpool have reached an agreement amongst themselves to quit transferring players since that isn't how it's done in the NFL or MLB. Get the control back to the club and not with the players. Although Arsenal clearly missed the memo

Link It is very difficult to follow all the transfer talk with European Football. I would like to see Rooney stay at Man U. However, I really don't care what becomes of Suarez. He is a fantastic player. He just needs to settle down and play the game. |

I think not. - really hope Altidore has a strong season for Sunderland; he's on fire right now - what a goal by the Sweden player that scored who wasn't Zlatan - biggest surprise of the night was Northern Ireland upsetting Russia in WC qualifier |
