To Juan-John, what are you talking about, any Champions League match between 2 good teams already draws a worldwide TV audience far greater than the pathetic Superbowl can ever dream of! The Champions League final regularly draws a worldwide audience in excess of 1 Billion viewers & that we only increase now that it will be broadcast on a Saturday.

last comment on just using the local crew is the right idea, it gives the game more of a real feel, more like being there or at least the country it’s played in.

God, that phrase gets so overused in this blog.

Anyway, please DIRECT FEED, DIRECT FEED, DIRECT FEED!!!! Altogether now, DIRECT FEED, DIRECT FEED, DIRECT FEED!!!!

There is no need to have off-site commentators calling the football matches from a studio somewhere. If they need to run promos during matches, an on-screen graphic would suffice. But let’s have the Sky/ITV commentary. There is no reason why not.

If I’m watching the World Series in Europe, I’d rather have Buck and McCarver than a Brit calling the action. Same principle. Please, Fox, give us the direct feed from whichever British network is covering the game.

your fsc, gol tv, etc are all better than espn.

footy needs dedicated channels to grow in the states away from the glow of the arrogant and hostile journalists that attack the game for no reason.

kartik, you constantly claim MLS is failing and that they are letting american soccer down, but you are smart enough to know much of mls failure is due to ESPN and its failure to promote the product and build the brand. if mls had this deal with fsc, fsn and fx it would be much better. can they make a similar deal?

Corey,

unlikely at first, because UEFA is filming the group games in HD yet. Maybe by year two of the contract.
