DISQUS

It was great to see the Americans do so well this weekend. Claudio Reyna even looked pretty good. The Reading crowd always seems really loud and I think they support thier team very well.


I can't wait for the day that the U.S. uncovers a world-class striker. Someone that can dominate a league like MLS and be an everyday starter for a Premiership side. That will change a lot of the perception of soccer in this country.

Wow, I'm kinda taken by surprise with the headline. I can see your points and I can agree that many U.S. fans are passionate about the league as a whole (because we don't have a "hometown" team). I enjoy watching all of the teams since I've just recently started watching and I'm still learing all of the players.


I think the Premiership support in America is growing by leaps and bounds. I wish there wa a primetime game on the weekends to give the sport more exposure here (3pm ET). With ESPN broadcasting the Champion League matches, wouldn't it be cool for FOX Sports (not FSC), to broadcast a game from a few of the big 4 teams on the Premiership schedule? After the NFL season, it doesn't seem like FOX has much in the way of sports lined up for February-March.

First - I don't think the Gerrard call was a dive. I think he lost his balance jumping over the defender. The ref blew the call, plain and simple. Liverpool got away with one, but Gerrard did not dive. Warnock has a right to be upset with the call, but don't blame Stevie G.


Second - Wow, is Reading a fun to watch! I hope they're somewhat successful this season and can avoid relegation back down to the Coca-Cola League.



Third - Did Tottenham play today? I didn't see them. I saw Bolton, but no Spurs. Maybe they were unrecognizable in thier light teal shirts.

Is there any way you can find ratings information? I'll be curious to see the increase in number of American EPL viewers from year to year.
