So ESPN have only got Germany left.
WOAH!!!

I am shocked I never heard about this before. Bundesliga is a big league though (Second to the Prem, some say), but that won't keep customers happy. ESPN could be almost over in the UK then. Weird though as they just started showing the French League this season and Brazilian last season.

They should have acquired longer broadcasting rights instead of one season only. Also, I would think Sky Sports are in the best position to get the German League when their contract with ESPN runs out as Sky is in Germany and they show German matches.
