What soccer does ESPN broadcast?

[TheFied]

Honestly I would watch more soccer if ESPN broadcasted more of it or at least in HD somewhere. Even if on tape delay. But I don't have Fox Soccer Channel. I would prefer to watch EPL or international over MLS but hell I would watch MLS too if they had more on easy to find channels.

Is this changing?

They do show Champions League (ESPN2 usually), the games are c. 1:30-2:30 or so on Tue or Wed usually. Not going on right now though.

I could have sworn that I recently read that ESPN is picking up EPL games starting next year. I could be wrong.

Let's just hope they do a better job with this than they did on the Barbados game yesterday. I thought Abraham Zapruder was broadcasting the game.

I heard that about ESPN picking up EPL. If in HD that would be bad-***.

Disagree. Even though the picture sucks, with FSC + Setanta we get every EPL game with commentators who know what they're talking about.

Let's just get a HD feed for those channels.

I'm with Tim. Plus, FSC does tend to show more games with teams that contain Americans.

So is Setana offered by DISH? It says ch 406 and I don't see it on my guide.

Setanta is a premium channel. Directv charges me $14.99 IIRC. I know Dish has it and I assume it's the same per month

Call them up an see. I think it's worth it. They show a ton of rugby and some of the big English/Irish horse races (not very often though) They have Gaelic Football and Hurling and Aussie Rules. Right now they are showing a lot of classic EPL/cup matches because it's the off season
