Ive seen them in more than one place, so you're probably right for the whole Mexican league.

Thanks ESPN2 for those highlights with the horrible perspective that doesnt allow us to see what is being described.

I miss Sunderland in the premiership.

Lampard is starting in ML position. maybe he can fill that role with England as well?

are you sure they have the money to get the rights to other leagues (particularly European) vs the bigger networks? I could see them getting the Brazilian or Argentinian games, but in the same respect their main audience would probably prefer the Mexican league...I wouldnt mind them showing more than one league over the weekend.

For example, Sky Sports own the rights to show all the Super 14 games, but show a maximum of one or two a week. Why? They moan about people d/ling on bittorrent, but if they actually gave the viewers what they wanted, you wouldn't have to do it.

Id love to see Super 14 and any other rugby competition here...doth you have a soccerTV.com for rugby?

Televisa does show an occasional Euro match. And I agree completely with them showing more than 1 league a weekend. The Mexican media is extremely wealthy.

figured if it was live you would have taped it....fair enough.

Can I just mention that V. Varen Nagasaki actually won the Japanese non-league Cup yesterday - 1-0 over Shizuoka FC.

Maybe they can win the playoff to get in the JFL. :fingerscrossed:

I'll wait for FM2008 to play it then.

...FM07 wont have Toronto FC? when its half a year away, thats just sad.

either of you know, by chance, when they play to unveil their new jerseys?
