It's the close mindedness of "fans" that seem to want to make following soccer in this county an insiders club. It should be available on Telefutura AND one of the English language MLS carriers, whether it's FOX Soccer Channel, ESPN2 what have you. If the price was lower then I might be a bit more interested but even the more recent MLS ALL-Star game format leaves me disinterested. don't think I can get away with doing it again. While I'm not trying to be an ugly American, and I'm in no way an NBA fan, I think most of the world would consider the NBA to be the top league. @OWNTF - I wouldn't pay $100. The best drawing team in the continental United States is El Tri.The way I see it, you're complaint is not so much that the Telefutura broadcast impedes the growth of soccer in the US (it doesn't), it's that you can't watch the match. I think I might've gotten some sort of break being part of the "USSF Soccer Family".Even those who want to "grow" the game have to consider the bottom line to consider and have different perspectives on how to do so...I can't believe how many people are complaining about this matchup. I just think it's the name recognition that could draw someone in who might otherwise not care. not much.Ugh, 90+ degrees and humid as hell. I've been virtually shouted down here today by fans who I assume would consider themselves "die hards".
No one would come. SUM makes coin on broadcast rights and things like that and SUM and MLS, while closely tied together, are not exactly the same entity.This is one season ticket holder who will not be going to this match for many reasons.Mal intencion: dirty play (bad intentions)ESPN is an NBA partner but I can't recall the last time I saw a listing for say the New York Nicks playing Maccabi Tel Aviv. I'll spend the cash on DCU's meaningful games instead. The last time these two teams met, it was available as part of the MLS Direct kick package, and I bought the package mid season just to be able to see that game, and I have continued to buy the package and follow more closely since.DCsportsfan25: If this is the biggest concern in your life, then I humbly retract my comment.Afternoon kick off and Fed Ex field both suck a great sucking but I'll still be there.Mitch,I was one of the masses for that WWC doubleheader (the Brazil Nigeria game was very entertaining). I think that it may have been on ESPN2.I wish this had been at RFK. So I'm chastised because I complain that I can't see the game and we are all supposed to be fans of the same team?Muchas gracias a Univision, Telemundo, Telefutura, y Galavision. OF course it's not the biggest concern in my life, but this seems to be the most appropriate place to discuss this issue. Directkick usually shows one teams coverage so it's either DC network or the other team, I think it depends upon who is the home team.My math says cheapest ticket at face will be $100, ranging up to $150. It will grow the MLS audience as much as the other friendlies involving Euro teams, i.e. If so, why stage the game in a 90K seat stadium. As someone not living in the DC area, and with no access to Telefutura (despite having Directv, a sports tier, and the MLS online package) it sounds like I'll be shutout of this game, just as I am when MLS games are given "national exclusive rights" on Telefutura. Season holders get a modest break.Especially not after REM wrote that "Don't go back to Rajon" song. Match Day Gallery | #MTLvDC. Just seems to me like too many soccer fans want to live in an enclosed environment and not take the opinions of the VAST majority of those in the US who might like to gain more insight into the game.
