Let me see if I understand this correctly.... the next 5 Mex.{home or away} WC qualifiers, will ALL be broadcast via ESPN or ESPN2, while ALL US away qualifiers are on some third rate,hope you can find it,screwed up internet site ?????


I agree with you, bro.

I scoured the earth to find an acceptable solution to this dilemma......











....and then I got DirecTV. Very few people have heard of it. It's a "satellite" that shoots "laser beams" at my "house." And these "laser beams" contain more "soccer" than I can watch.

And every NFL game.

And is infinitely better than Cox in every way imaginable.

And cheaper. Way fricking cheaper.

In summation, frick Cox.

Typical SB comment


Not sure if the OP knows how TV rights in soccer work, I know I didn't just a few months ago. Until one of America's away games was going to be on PPV.

ESPN bought the rights to show the Mexico WCQ games in America. From what I gathered the last few months is that each game you are paying the host country. I ASSuME they didn't pay a ton for the rights to show Mexico games in America. But just know that ESPN did not have to outbid TV stations in Mexico or any other country.
