Why can't Fox Soccer's "Goals on Sunday" be on everyday?

Stay connected for news and updates

This is my first post on any of the Crew fan sites so be gentle with me.

I haven't been a huge soccer fan till just recently, but I have to say part of the reason I've become uber soccer nerd in my house is watching Fox Soccer. I like the games and presentation of the games be it here in the States or over in Europe. My only beef is with the Fox Soccer Report. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but their set and presentation of the days events in the world of soccer/football is like someone doing the high school newscast on their 5 watt transmitter that only their school and the neighbors can pick up.

Now Goals on Sunday (or any of the major games featured on Fox Sports) looks like professionals are running the show. The set looks good, the debates are crisp, they even have a debate area off the side of the main desk. The only two things missing from the show is maybe some green grass to do "ala NFL" a play by play set up with those in the studio to explain a move or type of feed to a player showing the viewer how its done. The second thing: Explain the game to the un-initiated American viewer (Soccer 101) to help their follow the game.

For three years I've watched the shows even when Goals on Sunday was something else where they sat in some pseudo-London pub with Budweiser on tap (REALLY, BUDWEISER???) and even that was better than Fox Soccer Report. Look I know the people try their best, but you'd think they could eek out a budget enough to make it worth watching every night. Am I wrong to think that as a new soccer fan or what??
