Al Jazeera just bought the USA TV rights for La Liga, Serie A and League 1 starting in August. Can the EPL be far behind. The EPL rights for FOX and ESPN expire after this season. The rights for the Champion's League doesn't come due til 2015.

Al Jazeera has a US station? I would have thought the gov't would not let that happen.

Yeah...if I remember right (I may be wrong) but I think the English version of Al Jazzera is on DISH Network.

As a DTV subscriber and Barca fan this is terrible news. I loved watching the Barca games on GOL with Hudson commentating.

I enjoyed a decent Serie A match on Fox. My opinion has changed on the Italian leagues. Sure, the ultras are fucktards and they have match-fixing scandals bi-annually, but the football is good when it's on the level. You can keep the the Scottish Premier League in Spain. Never watched much of the Frogs so I won't comment on Ligue 1.
