Alex Morgan’s 123rd minute header sealed a surreal American triumph and turned the Theatre of Dreams into Canada’s house of horror. U.S. now have the best odds for winning Olympic […]

It's hard to imagine FOX Soccer being without its almost wall-to-wall coverage of the English Premier League. The network has built its success primarily on the coverage of the league, beginning with Fox Sports World in 1997, which morphed into Fox Soccer Channel in 2005 before becoming simply FOX Soccer last year. With the launch […]
