Bundesliga pls

I don't know if they'd want to go up against GolTV's deep pockets, though

Call me crazy, but I don't want ESPN to lose US games or Sunday MLS.

In order to continue growing the game here, I think the sports channel with the most viewers needs to show games. If they lose US and MLS, they won't have anything.

I think ESPN remains committed to MLS and US Soccer. They've been with them through far worse times. Fox taking over the NBC rights could be a different story though.

It's time more Americans got a chance to see the 2nd best league in Europe. Sorry Dandy and Henderson.

I know, I'm saying he would likely say Bundesliga is number one.

I hope they get Bundesliga. Not USMNT games though, but it doesn't seem like ESPN would give let those get away especially with the increasing ratings.

As for MLS, I would like to see the 3 of ESPN, FOX, and NBC all share the rights, that way at least 2 games should be on TV every weekend, plus local coverage.

My genius coverage plan for MLS

Friday on FS1
Saturday on NBCSN (since they don't cover much college sports)
Sunday on ESPN

ESPN still keeps home qualifiers and first pick in friendlies, NBC still gets a few friendlies, and Fox should find a way to get road qualifiers.

The Galaxy get a pretty nice regional deal

On November 18, 2011, Time Warner Cable Sports announced a broadcast rights agreement with the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer,[11] in a deal that will pay the team $55 million over ten years, starting in 2012. The networks will televise all Galaxy matches not designated for a national telecast, and will also broadcast matches involving non-MLS opponents. Similar to the agreement with the Lakers, the Galaxy will have supplementary programming featured on the networks, including a weekly team magazine, and possible classic matches.

When the Atlanta teams comes I hope they get a deal with Fox Sports South
