Two things

1.With UEFA doing the League of Nations now we should push to have this event every 4 years. We hold it in the US and the next one somewhere in South America and so on.

2.I hope BeIn doesn't get the tv rights to this. ESPN better put in an effort to air this with them losing the World Cup.

For the sake of the game it would be better if it was offered on a channel most people get.

You can say this about a lot of things they do, but not their soccer coverage.

I prefer beIN to ESPN when it comes to soccer. Just don't see where espn is all that great for soccer coverage.

Well it beats the hell out of Fox. Atleast ESPN wouldn't let Gus Johnson call games.

The article I saw listed the stadiums. Rose Bowl, Stanford, Reliant, Orlando and one or two on the east coast.

ESPN would be much better in terms of exposure and accessibility. And they have Sir Ian Darke. He calls American games so well.

I'm sure it's already been discussed here, but man, he and Wynalda are so bad. It completely ruins some really great games for me.

I know that. I'm talking about doing a tournament like this every 4 years since we won't play in the real Copa America.

Sadly, they will be the lead announcing team for the 2018 World Cup.
