The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

I noticed that some Gold Cup matches were done in a studio...they sounded awful.

 

I thought that was the only NBC team and the rest were international feeds.

 

Match of the Day on NBC Sports Network? MATCH OF THE DAY ON NBC SPORTS NETWORK!!

It's not the BBC version, but a reasonable facsimile. I'll take it.

 

Palace looks dreadful against Spurs.

 

Hull looks like they're playing in Steelers throw back unis

 

Hull looks worse.

I think they stole them from Wolves.

Spurs' unis with the HP logo look dreadful as well.

I also do not like the highlight show format NBCSN is using, NBC has separate show for Saturday's and Sunday's games, as opposed to the old show, which was one wrapup of the entire weekend's games. But I suppose I will get used to it.

 

The weekly review show is still on. It airs after the Monday matches at some point.

 

Oh dear. I knew things were bad in Scotland, but I didn't think they were this bad.
