Wow. ESPN showed only three of the five goals in the Sweden/Italy match. They cut it short to talk…about American football TRAINING CAMP. (self.football)

Insane. I just needed to share this with someone who might give a shit. And this community might not be the place, but still. Needed to call them out somewhere. Gross.

This has been going on for decades with ESPN.

Honestly, you are lucky they showed any highlights at all.

This is why the internet was so key to soccer development in the United States and comes inspite of the TV networks, not because of it

Yeah, definitely. I was going to say something along the lines of, they do this and then tell us all we don’t like soccer.

And the only reason I was actually watching ESPN was because I looked up at the gym and saw, on one of the 25 TVs, something actually interesting, so I started paying attention. And then they showed three goals in under a minute and then said the score was 5-0. And jumped as quick as they could back to American football players talking about a season that hasn’t even started yet. Ffs
