Fox Soccer

We discuss the speculation in sports media that FOX Sports may be for sale, who would be the best fit to acquire the rights from FOX Sports, what soccer properties FOX Soccer has that are most valuable, why MLS's reluctance to make changes is biting them, the lure of a relegation battle over the Champions League, and your questions in the Listener Mailbag segment.

Stu Holden is FOX Soccer's lead analyst. He joined the Press Pass Podcast to discuss Saturday's Copa América final between Argentina and Brazil, which naturally features two of the world's most exciting players in Lionel Messi and Neymar. Stu gives his analysis and prediction for the big game while taking a step back and evaluating what a Copa championship would do for the legacies of both international superstars.  Stu also took the time to talk about his transition from on-field play to the life of a broadcaster; he played soccer at the professional level both in the MLS and Premier League for nearly a decade. He discussed the differences between the two experiences, the advice he'd give to athletes-turned-broadcasters, and some of his greatest hits working as a broadcaster for FOX. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
