With that said I'm kinda digging what I'm seeing from Bayer is this first match.

I waited a year before I decided to align with an EPL team. I chose Swansea City because of that over the top kit reveal video. Anyone who can come up with that video deserves my support.

As for Budesliga, I jumped on the Bayern Munich bandwagon midway through last season. There are a multitude of reasons why I chose them, but I won't bore you with them.

I will never root for Bayern but their matches will be fun to watch just from a goal scoring angle.

West Ham GK just got a red card!

Seeing the replay (didn't see it live) that was a yellow not a red in my mind.

Great collapse by Spurs today to draw with Stoke.

And now it's getting chippy.

Was that the one in the first 20 minutes or so? Because if it was, that was indeed a nasty spill.

Yup like right when the Everton match ended.

I was watching that match waiting for the Swansea game to start, and thought "that really looked like it hurt".

Tigerfan21, bearcatfan1211, and oliveandblue hit another nail on the head with Watford's scoreless staredown with West Brom. Meanwhile I nailed the Swans soaring over that nasty ass Newcastle 2-0.

Yeah I think it's going to be Everton > Bundesliga > EPL/Championship for me when there are conflicts and no blowouts.

Beautiful goal not allowed cause it was offsides.

Well, I didn't get crap right today.

This commentator for the BvB game sounds like just some random old man watching the game at his house and reacting to it.

Another great finish holy ****!

And the commentators for Bundesliga are from the international feed (likely graphics too cause they look glorious).

Wow I thought this match would be close...

I can confirm that the Bundesliga graphics are from the international feed.

Fox really needs to consider their own commentary team.

I suspect they will hire their own commentary teams. If not this season, than most definitely next season.

Worth watching if you don't know the club's history, how we went from being sold for 1 English pound to the Premier League in 8 years.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I watched the first half on TV and then found the second half online. Incredible story and I think I have found my EPL team to support.

So they can sit in a studio in the US and call the matches? No thanks!

The international feed has one voice. There's no contrasting opinion, no discussion of what is going on, none of that. And I'm not sure they are in the stadium either.

Have you seen their kit reveal video? I think it's in this thread somewhere. That video alone made me decide to jump on the Swansea City bandwagon.

Wolves and Hull wrapping up on Bein if anyone is interested 1-1
