Six live games per week sounds good to me, esp. as my DirecTV package does include NBCSN but not Fox Soccer. Hard to tell whether a few other games will be shown on TV via delay, as there's also a ref to streaming "other games... live online."
Hope it's true that "The Barclays Premier League is... on the cusp of exponential popularity growth here in the U.S."
IIRC, ESPN has rights to World Cup 2014. Maybe Fox Soccer will focus on La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1?
That would have been great this past weekend as I was hoping to catch the ManU-Chelsea game, but it wasn't available on TV to me. I'm not sure if I have NBC Sports though, so I don't know if this would have helped me.
