Union Postmatch

Some say the US hasn't produce a world class striker because we're not big on Futsal. It makes a lot of sense to me. I imagine "indoor soccer" with hockey boards and endless nonstop play has probably slowed technical development in this country.

What ever happened to Mark Cuban's proposed Professional Futsal League? There were rumors it was going to be launched big, with the best players in the world and something like 16 teams.

Big belieber that part of the reason I love EPL is because of the production value. Other part is that I think the middle and bottom of the table clubs can compete. Even mid table teams have international stars. Deepest league in my view.

But if they were on BeIn or Fox? Eh. I watched a BRUTAL Everton-West Ham match today. And then I struggled to watch Chelsea-Spurs which was a fantastic match

NBC does a fantastic job. They probably do a football league the best in the business. Premier League Live. Goal Zone. Premier League Download. Behind the Badge. Men in Blazers. Great production value, analysis, insight, highlight packages, etc. Having a English speaking league is always easier on an American's ears compared to Germany (in terms of interview, etc.)

Rebecca Lowe is the best studio host in the game. She's much better than Rob Stone, Kate Abdo, or sadly even Ian Joy who have similar responsibilities at FOX. (Ian Joy is under utilized at FOX and should be their main studio host for soccer.)
