Do we get a mildly annoying Faith Hill song each week prior to the start of the match?




Maybe something more "international" like Shakira

I'm hoping we are pleasantly surprised.

NBCSN really has done a great job with their MLS coverage, and they seem committed to making the sport work as a TV event.

I need more than pre and post match stuff. I need a review show as well. Please let this work.

Well there is a pretty good review show that comes on FSC and Fox Sports Net late at night. Wished they would do an MLS review show.

Glad they're not half assing it so far at least

I don't think they are going to half arse it. They have put a lot of money into this, and they clearly know the potential soccer has in the states. It is only to their disadvantage not to do it as well as possible.

I was watching NBC Sports Network one day, maybe it was still VS then, but they were airing a review show for Israeli basketball. Which seemed kinda weird.

That is a SKY Sports creation, IIRC.

Yep. I doubt Sky would let it go to NBC, since Murdoch owns both.

Maybe we would get MOTD? The Premier League Review Show is superb.

Well if NBC has to create their own I hope they highlight the Americans playing there, could help the sport out here.

I feel good about this... I did like Fox Soccer but glad Bein did not get it. Kind of glad ESPN didn't get it. I feel like ESPN would not have done much with it

For the satellite radio guys, Siriussoccer is now siriusxmfc and has soccer shows from the US to Europe. It has grown a bunch and has a lot of good talkers including Ray Majesterial Hudson.

does the website offer games on replay like espn3 does? I read it mentioned live games on the site, but nothing about availability afterwards.

I hope that with the games they are going to air on network tv they get all of their stations on board to air it live. I better not see some fricking church on tv when a Premier League game is going on.

Unless Stoke is involved and then I'd rather watch church.
