The apartment people here think it's funny to take away channels. Recently we've lost Cartoon Network, FSC, and Court TV. I think they're trying to shave down costs because this place is shitty and they're not making any money.
So FSC owns the rights to Juve games as well? I'm moving across the street next semester and they're not gonna have FSC, but my roommate has a hot box so hopefully I'll catch the games that way.

Yep, FSC has all rights to Serie A and in a report it said they would air two or three matches each weekend. I'm happy as shit for that because the shitty cable company at my apartment up at State College only has FSC available to suit my football needs.
Yeah commentation is pretty bad with that idiot Tommy Smith, but they do have some good commentators nevertheless. I haven't seen many ESPN football shows cuz they don't really show any here... except the World Cup stuff last summer which was yeah a complete disaster. Lalas was on that show as well, fucking dunderhead.
Moreover, I won't ever forget hearing John Harkes call Zambrotta "Zambrotto."
1-0 Sevilla, set up by a 50 yard throw by Palop.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be easier to follow soccer clubs on Mars.
It's harder to get the truth when you're avoiding the firehose that's trying to force-feed you with propoganda.
It's no wonder why my EPL-loving neighbor still thinks calcio is all defensive nonsense -- even after the last CL round where three EPL teams scored one goal and the one Serie A team scored 3. The guy is living in North Korea when it comes to footie coverage. Whatever the supreme leader tells you is gospel, and anything outside of your zone of familiarity hasn't changed since Kim Il-Sung took over in 1948.
I forget who the announcing crew is opposite Tommy Smyth and his lackey, Derek Rae, at the last round of the semi-finals, but I was a bit shocked. It was arguably the most excellent color commentary I've heard on soccer in English outside of England.

Seamus Mallen is one I believe. Him, along with the somewhat British sidekick are ten-fold better than Smith and Rae. They do make up one of the best commentating duos I have heard, right along with the likes of Paddy Agnew and his English counterpart announcing Serie A matches on Eurosport or whatever channel Gol TV receives their Serie A coverage from.
Ohh, and don't get me started on Gol TV commentation again. That shit is THE worst.
