FSC will do a good job. They will most likely use the British feed like they do on their EPL games. They will show several champions league games live and delayed, and show reruns. They will be getting HD soon.

I agree that FSC is definitley not the channel that deserves the CL, although ESPN has done a terrible job with it. I’m glad my fellow red-neck yankees would rather watch a 100th replay of sports center then watch the 2nd biggest team in the CL play. ESPN needs to wake up and broadcast the games on all channels. its 2pm in the freaking afternoon, in the middle of the week, do you really want to encourage the out of work low lifes that watch sports center at that time?

FSC needs to man up and provide at least 2 more channels, and HD, if they don’t their just as big as a disgrace as chelsea in the CL semi-final.

Setanta needs to man up as well, provide as many channels in the USA as you do overseas and make them HD, I will continue to pay your ludacris fee of $15 a month.

SKY SPORTS RESCUE US AMERICANS PLEASE. I WOULD PAY $50 bucks a month just to watch your channels.

for all my fellow canadians, sportsnet will broadcast games, and I beleive they have 4 channels. espn / tsn has been the worst all this years, tomorrow for example I would have to wait till 11 pm to catch the barcelona/chealse, thank god for TLN.

Agreed with ‘pat o donovan’.
At least this means no more “bulge in the onion bag” from the world’s worst commentator, Tommy ‘Smith with a Y’ Smyth!

Agree Francesco, Fuck NO, while I get 4 ESPN channels, & 1 Fox Shitie Channel how am I suppose to get the multiple broadcasting. If I could only get as many Fox channels as the ESPN’s ones I’ll be pissed.

First thing everyone should rejoice is never having to listen to Tommy Smyth and his blatant UK biases regardless of who is playing.

FSC had better not hire him

There’s good & bad to this move, if true…Good is that ESPN is terrible…Not simply because their own broadcasting crew is terrible but because they neither show enough football nor do they actually show it in true HD…FSC, on the other hand is all about football and will show games on both game days in all likelihood AND repeat airings which ESPN never does.

The bad of course is that FSC doesn’t have anything but SD, for now

Living in America…No HD for football, crazy

At least FSC replays games, I can’t be home to watch games ESPN broadcasts in live during the day. They don’t even replay the MNT at a decent hour, they put it back on days later and at midnight. Screw ESPN plus they have that anti-futball ahole Jim Rome.
