Still seems pretty good for FS1, for only being around for, what? a year and a half...
John, this channel had been there for almost two decades. Its name has been changed a year and a half ago. It used to be called Fox soccer channel.
To watch in English here in N. Texas, it cost 15 bucks on FS1 but to watch it in Spanish it was free.
America "the land of the free" is fast becoming "the land of the fee".
@Gus, Technically, FS1 took over SPEED channel, and FS2 took FUEL. I was referring to the NEW format and marketing..
I'm a veteran of FSC... (Even watched Fox Football Friday, later changed to Fone-in with Nick and Steven,etc, etc...)
If you had U-Verse you couldn't see it live on Fox Sports 1.
Some kind of contractual dispute.
I have four sons born in the USA,and since they were little they love Football(Soccer),two of them,Eddie and Brian played the sport when in the Marines,one lives in up state New York,and Brian lives in Austin TX,when we communicate,our conversations are mostly about Football,especially about the premier league games,so we don't miss any games on Tv.especially if the US National Team is playing,regardless of how bad they are.We are so glad the interest for the sport being televised is growing so rapidly.
"specially if the US National Team is playing,regardless of how bad they are." Heyyy... No, seriously Good that young fans are developing in our country. As a Seattle fan I go to the sounders games as often as possible, and it's amazing to see how 50% of the fans are between ages 10-29. This is the sport of the future!!
