i think this would be really awesome.

but, yeah...it would suck for the fans of whatever teams have to fly over here to play.

most likely it would be teams owned by American interests.

Aston Villa v. Man U?

Champions League is not the premier league. And why do you support Chelsea?

Glory hunt much?

I have advocated having a "premiership game of the week" nationally televised game on in the US. games come on between 7 and 10 am Central time. right before NFL games at 12 noon CST. its perfect timing b/c games predictably last 2 hours. the game could be shown on a network that doesn't have NFL games on sunday (ABC) of college football games on saturday (NBC). but when I bring this idea up to EPL fans they say that that this type of a program would never happen b/c it would undermine the efforts of promoting MLS, which is obviously miles apart from the big Euro leagues but is showing signs of growth.

so I dont think MLS, or those that corporately sponsor MLS, would appreciate having EPL games played on American soil. this maybe harder to pull off than the NFL moving a reg season game to London.

I see it the other way. I think if people see EPL games then it will further their own interest in the MLS.

Sort of 'That was enjoyable, I'll give our own domestic league a try.'.

Drogba is quality, seems like he hasn't played for Chelsea for ages. Well he hasn't I suppose. Injuries and the Africa cup of nations.

I used to think I liked Chelsea because of Drogba, Essien, and Shevchenko, but all I ever get to watch is Arsenal games. Adebayor is way cooler than Drogba.

And yeah, I think EPL games in America would be better for the sport. Just like the World Cup frenzy probably would have increased viewers for a short while.

I find it funny neither league realizes there's no market; y'all don't want our football and we don't want y'all's.
Both have been available, and both have been rejected.

I think soccer will be pretty big here sooner or later.

They just have to make some rule changes, like make each goal worth seven points so Americans think the games are higher scoring.

They complain all the time about 3-2 games, but they don't realize that's really just 21-14 / 7.

Yeah, that always bothers me, when people are like "there's no scoring in hockey/soccer!"
A good hockey game is 4-3, same as 35-28 :flowstone:

That would be 5-4, genius.
