Soccer in America - When will it go High-Def?

Eng4WorldCup

Starting XI
With all this High-Def craze, and since the world cup was on HD, when the hell are they gonna start broadcasting EPL games in HD?? Do they do the Champions League games in HD for those who have ESPN2 HD (my provider doesnt provide ESPN2HD)??

To the best of my knowledge, the current HD landscape for soccer in the US looks like this:

-ESPN2 is planning to broadcast MLS matches in HD next season, when they begin their new contract to broadcast Thursday night matches.

-HDNet also airs MLS matches in HD, but not many cable companies have this channel on their lineups; for example, my provider (Cox) doesn't carry it.

-Currently, the only Champions League match that is broadcast in HD is the final, and it has been aired in this format for the last two years. All signs point towards a repeat in Athens next May.

-As for the Premiership, there are currently no plans for FSC or Setanta to broadcast in high-definition, so you are sh*t out of luck for that. As for other European leagues, a La Liga match is aired in HD on WorldSport HD each weekend; however, you have to be a subscriber to Dish Network to see it.
