please don’t kid yourself when you think that the reason the epl is shown on fsc more often than anything else is because it is more entertaining? you’re obviously a brit who thinks the world revolves around england or britain.

fsc needs to stop focusing on the english game so much, it is probably a bad thing that the fans end up supporting england because of this, when they should be supporting the USA. personally i’ve grown to HATE the english national team, along with many other people as well because they are shown on fsc all the damn time and that pub team can’t even qualify for the euros. then you think a majority of those who watch fsc actually root for this sorry side? americans hate the british remember? as do a majority of the world. you are the wanker.

You mean to tell me you guys have the option to listen to the game, but not the commentators? Are you kidding? If that is true that is awesome!! I have been dreaming of having that option in baseball (and all sports) for the longest time. You’re giving me hope that we might eventually see something similar available over here!

Hey 11:20 take you and your yank attitude back to American Football or some dumb sport like that. American Football cost England Euro qualifying and American writers don’t understand football even if they try……

There is no doubt that NFL game wrecked the pitch at Wembley, and the downpour of rain prior to the Croatia match certainly didn’t help matters.

But before you start blaming the NFL, Bush, Clinton, Gilligan, McDonald’s and everything else American for England choking (and that’s exactly what England did — choke), that pitch had problems with it well before that NFL game.

People have been complaining about the pitch at Wembley since the Chel$ki/Man Utd FA Cup Final. It’s been relaid at least twice since the stadium opened and I read after the Croatia match that they’re going to look at totally redesigning it.

So in addition to America and the NFL, you might want to include some blame for the Met Office for not doing a good enough job in shooing away that rainstorm. Perhaps you’ll consider having a go at the people who so poorly designed Wembley’s pitch in the first place. And if you’re really feeling ambitious, you might try blaming those directly involved in the debacle — The English Team, the ones who really lost the match.

We have more than enough problems in America right now without having to accept misplaced blame for the failures and shortcomings of English football.

And by the way, I agree. Jack Bell IS a Wanker.
