So todays Man Utd v Wigan match is the first i'm hearing on ESPN in the states showing EPL matches on the network. Every Saturday morning and Monday evening (before MNF? I'll have to double check that.)


Pretty cool....EPL in HD on occasion as well.

I'm watching it. I'm not sure I like this announcing team versus the usual ESPN crew for US International games. The coverage seems to be a bit better than the FSN coverage of EPL. I'm more excited to watch some of the La Liga games they are doing as well.
I must say that their decision to finally broadcast International Football league games has led to better Sportscenter coverage of "Soccer".

I like the broadcast team for this game. I usually can't stand the announcing team for US Int matches. Huh.


I guess the games on monday's will be in the afternoon (3PM EST).


This Man U match isn't in HD here.

What's not to love of Davy O'Brien & Marcelo Balboa?

Gotta admit it was really nice Saturday morning to wake up at someone else's place and be able to flip on a game before getting out of bed even though they didn't have Fox Soccer Channel.

I'll take the normal EPL announcing crews over the ESPN announcers any day.

The quality of the HD wasn't great, but definitely glad that it is finally available on a regular basis.
