Getting ready for the big game. It's bittersweet for Univision as this will be their last telecast of the World Cup(NBC/Comcast's Telemundo has the rights now).

Wow, I didn´t know that. That´s really sad for Univision.

Fox has the rights for the 2018 & 2022 World Cups & Telemundo has the Spanish language rights for the same World Cups.

After this WC, US English rights go to FOX Sports and the Spanish rights go to Telemundo. This change will start next year with the Women's WC in Canada. FOX has to do a lot to be at par when it comes to ESPN's coverage. I really don't like the change. But Telemundo will get Andres Cantor

 

[DJdish]

Maybe more of the Univiison guys will also got to Telemundo.

Ew. Gus Johnson is the Joe Buck of Fox Soccer xD

Another WC heading to Extra Time. Score at 0-0.

I think that the biggest thing that Argentina wanted to prove today was that they were NOT Brazil.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Unless something dramatic happens,I predict an Argentina win in penalty shootout.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Very interesting how Univision rotates announcers during this match. Do they have 2 sets of announcers?

And THAT was the dramatic event I was looking for,Germany 1-0.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]
