can anyone plz tell me what channel hull v everton are­ on

Could somebody tell me any of the good sites to watch­ PL games in high quality pls ??

57 The BBC don't bid for football because it's­ not a nob (toff) sport they are only interested in the­ Horse Trails,Rowing,Rugby (only Union can't have­ that north of the border Rugby) Horse racing (only if­ the Queen is there or its from one of the big meetings)­ If they do get one of the free football games it­ come's on 5 mins before kick off (can't let­ anything get in the way of Eastenders) and for that­ five mins you don't get the team news you just have­ to listen to that Jug Eared T**t.
If they stopped­ paying all the money to Ross,Moyals and everybody with­ a camp voice they may have some money left to bid and­ get the football.
Lets face it the money they have is­ our money as they have a BBC tax (Licence Fee) use my­ money for something i want to watch.
Dave.

I have sky sports HD, but if the match was on shitanta­ I'd watch the game online or go down the pub. ­ Nothing gunna change for me. ITS FOOTBALL not soccer­ by the way.

so how are we in uk gonna get to watch espn???anyone­ have answer ..none of press have mentioned on how they­ will broadcast matches....more sensationalism than­ facts....
why didnt the fa give terrsatial tv chance to­ show some games live why is it always on pay tv­ ..............some matches should be reserved for­ terrastial tv

57 don't be stupid, world cup rights are free to­ air, ie they have to be shown on terrestial tv, ergo it­ will always be between bbc, utv or channel 4 who gets­ the rights to it. And as for selling to the highest­ bidder, given the wage bill & debts of the premier­ league clubs they have to sell to the highest bidder to­ ensure the future of the PL & its clubs.

We need a new fa & premier league board who will­ look after OUR game & the interest's of us­ english fans, stop selling OUR game to the highest­ bidder & give it to the bbc so everyone in our­ country can see it, it is a disgrace that they go &­ sell the rights to bloody yanks, they cant even say­ football, the next thing to be sold for the money­ grabbing sods will be match of the day. Who will have­ the rights to the world cup??????

Bad news for the American posters, this doesn't­ impact ESPN here stateside. FSC still has the rights to­ the EPL through this season. The games Setanta showed­ here we're subleased by FSC so this doesn't­ impact the television shown in the US other than we­ might get fewer games. Though it should be mentioned­ that the EPL rights auction for 2010-2013 is this fall.­

In America ESPN gained a dual share of La Liga (W/­ GolTV) to be shown on ESPN Desportes but lost the­ Champions League to FSC. Sorry to be a buzz kill.

Does this mean Special 1 TV will be cancelled, or will­ Jose, Sven and Wayne take over the USA????

Dear god please tell me they'll just pipe in the­ feed from England like FSC. I do NOT want to hear­ "JP" anymore. And I do not want to see the­ screen shrink to a PIP with a giant update on some­ other sport during the match, or a giant marquee­ underneath during the whole time. ESPN may dominate­ sports over in the States, but they sure can learn from­ FSC on how to show footy properly.

comment 47 - it's all good, but let's start by­ saying 'football' instead of 'soccer'.­ ;)

I can't speak for ESPN in US and its quality of­ football broadcasts, but I lived & worked in Hong­ Kong for a year a while back & ESPN were showing a­ LOT of live premiership matches, and they have been­ generally alright for me. From what I remember, a lot­ of commentators & show presenters were actually­ English, although obviously quality varied but you get­ that with different football programs in UK too­ anyways. I would have loved to see premiership on BBC­ for free as well, but we all know that's just not­ gonna happen. But ESPN is not gonna bring an american­ commentator over to broadcast premiership matches here,­ and I expect that most things will stay the same for­ us. Beside, I watched a lot of matches over the­ web/cable TV broadcasted in the language I don't­ understand at all, but once the match starts it's­ all good. ;)

Also, ESPN has shown soccer before and I'm pretty­ sure they take a page from the people who've done­ it before...i.e. Sky and Setanta. Don't expect­ things to be so much different, ESPN wants the global­ audience. I wouldn't worry too much.

Yea...as an American...I watch soccer on mute.­ Sometimes the commentary just makes me cringe.­ Especially when they have a judgment on a red or yellow­ card. Ugh. And if someone passes it more than 15­ yards...he's world class. Also the Champions League­ commentators here...aren't too great either.­

Hopefully they'll consider their now­ international audience for the games and get some­ decent commentary. The people who comment on MLS games­ are balls and the people who comment on any­ international matches usually are the same one's­ for the MLS games. Favoritism abounds.

Also, ESPN­ won't make it pay-per-view...they only really do­ that for boxing or UFC. What will probably happen is,­ like someone else said, make it available on ESPNC­ (Classic) or ESPN2 or ESPN1 or ESPND (Deportes heh...)­ Or, they might make a new channel for soccer...although­ I doubt it. Like someone else said, there simply­ isn't enough programming, so soccer could fit­ in.

I just wish ESPN wouldn't show Fishing, Poker­ Tournaments, and Dominoes anymore. Its really getting­ absurd. I think if US citizens start watching some good­ soccer (EPL might fit us better than slower leagues)­ the fan base will grow. Pretty sure ESPN things that as­ well.

Just think, the #1 sports over here are Football­ and Nascar. People watch those for hard tackles (Full­ body) and car crashes... I think Paul Scholes might be­ a favorite player over here in no time, or Joey Barton.

Games likely to be on a new branded ESPN channel -­ separate from the existing ESPN Classic and ESPN­ America. that what BBC report said

die ronaldo die,

"THAT WAS LIQUID­ FOOTBALL!!!"

God !! imagine the commentary

yanks

I have the setanta sports package at the moment. They­ have lost the premier league football and are about to­ lose their SPL rights. If I could get ESPN america­ other than through purchasing the setanta package I­ would get rid of setanta completely. Is there any way­ to see ESPN America other than buying the setanta­ package ?

So I guess now we will have cheerleaders and adverts­ every 5 minutes!?!? If the cheerleaders are naked,­ I'm for it!
