Default Which channel is best for premiership soccer in the US

Hi,

I am comtemplating whether or not to get fox soccer or setanta sports for live premiership football. Does anyone know which is best? Both seem to show 2-3 games every weekend but each channel has advantages over the other.

Setanta show other sports as well. Will show 6 nations rugby for example
Fox soccer is alot like skysports with skypsorts news etc and exclusively just soccer. If you get that package you get tonnes more sport channels which i dont want.

I would love to get both but i think my wife would kill me

They share the rights. Setanta gets first pick of Saturday games, fox second, etc right through the whole weekend and it's not decided until a few weeks before the game I believe. I like FSC because you get sky sports news but really it's the luck of the draw as to what games are shown on what station. Look to see which one you would watch more.

Why are sports threads never moved to the Locker Room?

Suppose you've got a point there. You did surprise me though...I thought you'd jump on me heavily with both feet...men can be very touchy where sports are concerned.

I was only looking for an opinion as whether FSC or setanta was best.

I am siding more with FSC as it has more of a skysports feel.

Personally I have FSC but I haven't seen Setanta yet so I'm not in a position to say which is best. You'll also find lots of free footie at these sites:
