Not to mention the wall to wall coverage of the World Cup on ESPN. I can remember when the only was to see the vast majority of the games was to watch them on Univision. I actaully prefer that sometimes.
We actually had USA World Cup games outdrawing NBA finals games this year.
I remember watching the '82 World Cup on the old Spanish International Network, which was on channel 33 back then. The legendary Tony Tirado provided the play-by-play. (He was shouting "goooooooool" long before Andres Cantor became famous for doing that.) Times have sure changed since then. ESPN and ABC actually did a really good job of covering the World Cup this time, too, at least in the studio. Some of the game commentators were a bit dull (Martin Tyler...).
