I think it is pretty poor compared to other sports covered. But they may be reflective of what the public demands. Also you didn't mention Fox Soccer channel or their website which does a pretty good job. I disagree with USA Today’s coverage being adequate.

Full of irrelevant and outdated information it is better suited for soccer moms who attend one or two games a season. You should also take a look at websites of other TV networks (GolTV and FSC).
