Well for starters, there was that one time during the Champions League that they brought Michael Strahan in studio to create parallels between soccer and football.

I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but Everton on USA had far better HD than any of the Fox games I've watched in the last 2 months. FWIW, it also looked better than the typical NBC non-network games from last season.

That is great new.

Although internally I was hoping they would drop the EPL and get a deal going with La Liga....but I'll take what I can get
