Sorry to hear about the woes in the good ole' US of A. In Canada, we get a couple of Champions League matches (unless it's bumped by curling or fucking junior hockey) on TSN - a derivitive of ESPN. Saturday we get 2 Live Premier league matches on Sportsnet, 2 more on FoxSports on Sunday, one more on Monday, and sometimes one more in midweek. Oh...plus a UEFA Cup match on Thursday again on Fox. It's great. I see more live matches than my mates in England! If you're near a decent pub, they'll also have FA Cup and access to more Champions League matches through Setanta Sport. You can find your nearest venue at www.setanta.com. My nearest is 250 miles away because I live in the fucking North Pole. Also, check out www.soccertv.com, for all the televised action in this continent.

It's pretty hard to watch all the games, in the us
but like you said thru foxsportsworld, they usually show premiere games,argentinian league, the chilean, scottish, the brazilian and some of the spanish liga, but without the big names barca, real etc..
Now there's a new channel coming up it's called "gol tv" I believe, and it's supposed to pick up all the slack.
The shit with direct tv and dish is that you need to sign up for different packages and that blows.

The perfect deal would be espninternational,espnespanol,espn deportes,foxsportworld,foxworld en espanol and goltv.

I'll take that over any showtime,hbo,cinemax deal anyday.
