I think that the FFF was actually canned, but came back to life at the last moment, when they cut out the Fox and Hounds bar bill. (Look how it never even got on the listings till a few days before the show!!!

I always watched it avidly but let’s face it was pretty amateurish/embarassing last year and this is a big improvement. I think it do with somer regular features to give it some structure. Too much MLS? Well I’m in favor of anything that pomotoes interst in soccer in the US. I’d like to see Fox sponsor at least promote school and the college game because in the long run that’s the only real hope for Football in the US.
Well at least I got my say on it …

You have to remember – FSC now supports both the EPL and MLS, so I’m sure FFF is instructed to handle both. at least 70% of the show was EPL discussion IMO. I don’t see how you can really complain about that. I’m a fan of both, so I don’t see the problem. Uh oh – am I a know-nothing loser for supporting the MLS??? – GOD FORBID!!! As I’ve said before I see the faults with the MLS – but if this league fails, soccer will be completely written off by the mainstream in this country. So I feel it is my duty to throw constructive criticism at the MLS, yet will continue to support it. Especially the players – they get no respect and there are some pretty good ones in the bunch.

i too prefered the pub feel..but the new setup is fine. i do think its too similar to their radio show. they should take advantage of being on TV, and show clips or highlights. even do text or stats..but its like just being able to see the radio show. and after listening for 2 hours early that day, it offers me very little thats new. more visuals would be nice…but nick and steven are enjoyable and its soccer talk on a week night so i like it!

I was never really a fan of Fox Football Friday, but I have to admit that the new format is very good. The only problem I have with the show is the call screening — some of the calls they receive are cringeworthy, and I wish they would filter some of them out before they go on-air. Some of my favorite calls from last night:

1. Why Liverpool aren’t signing any strikers.
2. Brian McBride should be the next USA manager.
