Great list, thanks, you should consider adding UEFA Cup and CL matches involving Premiership sides as well.

Re: Are TV Habits of Fox Soccer Channel Viewers Changing?

FSC needs to stop adding their in-house production to the feed. Watching a premiership match on Setanta is so much better with live pre-game, half, and post-game footage from the site of the match. You get a much better feel for the atmosphere of the match and much better analysis. Not to mention the low quality of Fox's production. Consistently wrong line-up displays, Ugly graphics, and horrible pronunciations. Highberry anyone?

Great post.

Motson works for BBC, so you can only hear him on FA Cup matches and abbreviated match coverage on Match of the Day.

Re: The Time Has Come For Beckham To Join L.A.

What's most amazing to me is his weekly wage of £495k a week!

What's the highest weekly wage in the premiership right now? Maybe Ballack at £160k?

Sure, Beckham's marketing worth may be invaluable, but in sheer footballing value I can't see how he's worth more than £70k a week. So that leaves £425k a week for his poster boyness. Lunacy.

"These games are available in HD in the UK, why not here?"

The day a satellite or cable TV provider in the US dedicates limited and expensive HD bandwidth to a channel that relatively no one watches is a long long long long long way off.

Regarding the main post, Setanta really needs to get on cable. ITVN's shaky connection doesn't cut it for the non-directv subscriber.

Re: "How Soccer Explains The World" Book Review

Ditto to tyduffy and ossie, read the book on holiday in spain two years ago. Loved it and it's great stories, yet was left completely perplexed with it's failed attempts at grander meaning.

Good review.
