Stop the press, Barcelona actually gets a Red Card in the Classico. Sergi Roberto throws a punch at Marcelo!

ESPN3 had been streaming one or two games a week this season.

ESPN+ has every game from the Championship and League Cup now.

What a con job by Marcelo but yes Sergi Roberto's red was deserved. By the way, Bale should have had one also for that calf impalement on Umtiti. I thought Umtiti was going to tear Bale's head off after that. In all, there was lots of tension in this otherwise meaningless El Clasico. Meaningless in that the league is already wrapped up and Madrid is more focused on CL. Seemed like a Mourinho led El Clasico in some aspects. Hell, even Messi got mad. In the end though, Barca is still undefeated in the league.

My first thought was "good, now I'll have a chance to watch Swansea some next season" and I got really depressed.

I didn’t know that. That would explain why there hadn’t been any on espn3 the past month or so.

Yep it's behind a paywall, but really $5 isn't a bad price at all for what you get. ESPN FC is also only broadcast on ESPN+ as well (outside of the podcast version which is still free).

All soccer that you get on ESPN+:
All Out of Market MLS games
All USL games
All US Open Cup games
Over 200 English League games (mostly Championship and League One with some of the higher profile League Two games sprinkled in)...this equates to 4 matches per week.
Roughly 6 matches per month for the EFL Cup
All UEFA Nations League games

Swansea/Southampton tomorrow afternoon

I'm probably going to be a nervous wreck the entire time, unless we concede early, at which point I'll resign myself to our demise and probably release a lot of pent up anger at the club.

Unless of course we win...but that requires scoring goals, and we don't score those.

I was wondering what happened to ESPN FC. That is the only show I watched on ESPN (other than live events) and now it's gone to the app. Oh well, that sucks.

Swansea with some interesting gamesmanship early. Welsh hotel Southampton was to stay at called them on Sunday and indicated due to a "virus" running around the hotel, they'd have to stay elsewhere. Nevermind the fact that public guests could still book rooms.

Then the bus that went to pick them up from their new hotel today "forgot" and was 25 minutes late.

Also, Swansea has reportedly arranged for the current owner and chairman to have an escort out of the stadium today in case things go South because they might be a tad unsafe if this goes south. I have absolutely zero confidence, and have already begun the process of figuring out how to watch 2nd tier matches.

If they beat stoke and Huddersfield loses out yes. Otherwise fair the well

Forums want them to go down because it probably would finally force a change of ownership

He’s a disaster. Fans want the chairman out first, but he’s next on the chopping block

So...how the hell does one in the US root for someone in the Championship? Where you go from getting to see every match to maybe 4 matches a year.

Any ideas?

The new ESPN+ will have a few more Championship games. But still only like 4 a week. I'm assuming most of those games will be the better known teams.....Stoke, West Brom, Villa(if they dont get promoted) etc

I had an iFollow subscription this year for Wigan. It was pricy ($100+ for the season) but the quality of the streams was consistently solid. I liked being able to rewind and fast forward during live broadcasts as well.

Prior to this season, when Wigan was in the lower leagues, I had an online subscription through the Wigan club website where I could only listen to live match audio.

That Huddersfield squad is full of some grown ass men. Got 2 pts from City and Chelsea away to stay up. That was impressive.

If Spurs can hold on against Newcastle we clinch CL for a 3rd straight year.
