soft as poo poo foul, if that's the level of foul that VAR should go back and declare an obviously incorrect decision, football truly is dead

If he had touched the ball at all I would be all with you, but he got literally nothing of the ball and went through Eriksen. It was absolutely a foul.

Through him? Lol you make it sound like a two footed challenge that hobbled him.

There is very few American commentators these day in Premier League coverage. In the US, it is primarily British voices except for Tim Howard who is sometimes a studio pundit.

NBC has Rebecca Lowe as the studio host with a combo of Robbie Earle, Robbie Mustoe, Tim Howard and Danny Higginbotam as the studio pundit. Occasional you may get an American host as a fill in when Rebecca Lowe has the day off.

For the match commentary, they use Peter Drury as the lead commentator with either or both Lee Dixon and Graeme Le Saux. When they are not used, NBC uses the world feed commentators that is produced by Premier League Productions/IMG.

oh great, thank you. so you'd advise NBC over ESPN+? or is it basically the same thing?

Well NBC has the Premier League TV rights in the US. Matches are mainly on USA and Peacock with usually a match a week on over the air NBC.

A typical weekend matchday for Premier League on TV. Of course the TV networks may change and sometimes they put big matches on Peacock. Peacock only has some matches live.

ESPN+ has rights for Bundesliga and La Liga for the major big leagues. They also have rights to the Carabao Cup, FA Cup, and the EFL Championship.
Paramount+ has rights for Serie A and UEFA club competition like Champions League and Europa League. They also have rights to NWSL and Women's Super League.


Soccer TV rights in America is really fragmented and if you want to follow a specific team, you usually need like 3 different streaming service provider and cable to be able to watch all of it.

Those are the legal ways to watch it in America.

The American commentators for La Liga are awful, if the football highlights are anything to go by. I wish there was a way to subscribe to just the international production or the British channels for all the leagues. Gary Neville for all his faults ain’t half as bad as the Americans.

Now that ESPN+ has La Liga rights, it is primarily British commentators now. You may get some American co-commentators. La Liga was really bad when Bein Sport had it. Ray Hudson is terrible. Cannot believe CBS/Paramount+ has him commentating a match per matchday for Champions League now.

Lee Dixon's dour moaning and occasional odd reminiscing about his Highbury days is by far the best thing about NBC's coverage.

Same story for NFL watching in the UK fwiw.

NFL gamepass exists and shows almost everything live, though the biggest game each week (that’s not kicking off at 2am on a Monday morning) is blacked out, because Sky have the exclusive TV rights to one live game of their choice.

Streams being more reliable than the paid product made it an easy choice though.

Is that why they're called bank holidays? They're all named after banks? When's BoE? Does NatWest have a day, or do they get screwed because they're Scottish? Did HSBC get a day when they moved to London, or are they too foreign? When two banks merge, do they have to pick which day to keep?
