Fox recently beat out ESPN for the rights to broadcast next year’s Champions League fixtures. Footsmoke has been getting a lot of mail about the implications of this potentially lucrative swoop. I answer some of the responses below.

USAWC2030 writes: What was ESPN thinking? After last year’s European Championships, I thought this network was making a push for global soccer domination. I’d like to know what Fox paid for this swoop, as it clearly marks one of the best long-term investments for any broadcast network. Besides the World Cup, the Champions League is the most popular and lucrative tournament in soccer, and it gets bigger every year, both worldwide and in America. Last year’s final, between Manchester United and Chelsea, reached over 1,000,000 American viewers for the first time. I worry, however, that ESPN’s soccer coverage will start to lag in the wake of this loss. What will this mean for the millions of ESPN viewers that will now get less world-class soccer as part of their basic cable package? What if a potential Pele is among those not able to watch these games, and he chooses baseball instead, because this is the sport he and his friends watch when they come home from school and this is the sport they start to play in the backyard. See what you’ve done ESPN!

FS: Good points. And I thought I was too concerned about soccer development in this country, but maybe this is something to consider. Also, I doubt ESPN will just fade away. There’s more bounty to be had in the soccer world…

Wait … We don’t have any of those. Shit. Well maybe we could hold our own American Idol Soccer Commentator contest. Get a young-blooded smack-talker in there who calls it like he sees it without all that fancy talk and pitter-patter. Call a PK a PK, a pansy a pansy. Lets put those divers in their goddamn place, right! And lets spend some freakin money! You know Fox will bring it with the HD. I don’t know what everyone’s scared of. They’ll have picture so sharp you’ll see Steven Gerrard’s forehead, Crouch’s actual skeletal structure. They’ll have fields so mic’ed-up that we’ll hear Rooney swearing after missed shots, Ronaldo’s tears dropping on the ground, the linesman’s ass clenching after he knows he made the wrong call. Goals so explosive that they’ll make touchdowns seem like tiddlywinks. Replays from every angle physically possible: goal-side, grass-side, boot-side, even heart-side – from inside the fucking heart!

FS: Awesome. I think.

Trevor66er writes: Fox’s coverage of the international soccer already makes me shudder. The crude American/Canadian commentators lack the sensitivity, intelligence, and craft required to call a proper game, not that the misguided mumblings of Tommy Smyth on ESPN are much better, but at least Tommy has a sense of drama and justice, even if his sense of both ultimately dooms us all by the blatant ways he speaks about them, which displeases the soccer gods, causing tragic reversals of fate (Thanks again, Tommy, for your call around the 89th minute of the United game today). Thankfully, to clear up this danger Fox is considering deferring to the International English feeds, which have a little more discretion regarding jinxes. Also thankfully, Fox doesn’t have the same problem with their website coverage. Bobby McMann’s delicious tidbits of information satiate my deepest football appetites. And Jamie Trecker! I just discovered this delightful chum, who really has his probing finger pressing deep into the zombie-like pulse of American soccer, which I love to trash whenever possible by pointing out the vast differences in play between MLS teams and European clubs to my piddling and ignorant work colleagues. Are you sure you’re American Jamie?

FS: How did you even find this blog? I didn’t know Brits believed in jinxes.

futbolvida writes: Fox, where will I go for all my La Liga teams? You know there’s futbol outside of English teams? Thanks for clearing my face up though. Proactive es La Bomba Atomica! I get all the chicas now and I know the number by heart when I need more! Also, what’s the deal with all the red en the studio? It hurts my eyes.

FS: I think you meant to write Fox. Try foxsoccer.com.
