Soccer fans have been predicting the demise of GolTV for more than 10 years, but the soccer network keeps on chugging along.

At the height of GolTV, the network televised La Liga and Bundesliga. Both of these leagues are now on the giant ESPN network. But back in the day, GolTV was one of the top destinations to watch soccer.

Do not get me wrong. Gol TV is still going strong. The network has the rights to the Portuguese league as well as leagues from many South American countries. Those leagues are from Ecuador and Uruguay.

As of writing, Gol TV also has the rights to the Dutch Cup.
