Fox Sports is on the counterattack looking to slip a few more goals past ESPN. Last time I checked, Fox is up 3-0.

The past four months have been extremely busy for the broadcast giant as it looks to set the tone with soccer fans in the U.S. Beginning this past September, the network made the bold move to broadcast an English Premier League game (Chelsea vs. Manchester United) before a Sunday NFL game on local affiliates across the country. Although the game was tape delayed, Fox was making every effort to lure American football fans into the other “football.” In total, Fox will show four EPL games this season, though only one, on Super Bowl Sunday, will be aired live. The other three will be broadcast as-live after first airing on Fox Soccer.
