Soccerlens Podcast: The Beckham Debate and Soccer Consumption in the USA

Soccerlens Podcast: The Beckham Debate and Soccer Consumption in the USA

On episode 18 of the Soccerlens Podcast, Stephen Darwin is joined by Pitch Invasion’s Tom Dunmore and Jason Davis from MatchFitUSA to discuss US soccer consumption.

The show will be looking specifically at how soccer fans in the States receive their domestic and European/Worldwide soccer fix and there’s also a discussion on whether David Beckham really is on a different galaxy with his desire to play in Europe.

Among the points of discussion raised with Tom Dunmore and Jason Davis were:

  • The US Open Cup
  • MLS Cup potential winners
  • Better off without Beckham?
  • ESPN and television coverage of soccer in the US
  • European soccer vs domestic US soccer – an equal balance?
  • Plus more on top of that!

    I think at the moment you cannot compare European soccer against US domestic soccer but its good to see that there has been some positive improvements over the last few years in US soccer which I think is good.
