What do you guys think of Gol Tv, and FSW i like Gol but i wish they showed more games from Germany or Holland Leagues instead of peruvian and Honduras

I dont get either, so I cant say

yea same here i used to get FSN but that only showed baseball and basketball games

I heard fox soccer channel is great, but again I don't get that either

Does anyone know if there will be Bundeliga games on Fox

FOX shows all the big leagues in Europe except la liga , but they show mostly premiership though, i watch gol tv more cuase a prefer la liga over all the other leagues

Last season FSC showed Bundesliga.

FSC:
Strong English, some French, some German, scant Italian, int. friendlies

Gol TV:
Strong Spanish, strong Italian, some Brazilian, some other S. American

Luckily, I will be getting both for only a $10 per month upgrade from my current package (total about $60 per month)...Dish Network's "Top 180."

Keep rubbing it in Josh.....

I'm still cleaning up the jizz....

Well i went on this site and there's no Bundesliga Game on the schedule...
http://msn.foxsports.com/story/2646572

Here in Canada it doesnt cost much to upgrade each channel $2.45 if u have a digital box which ccomes for $5

That is because they are only showing re-runs right now since it is off season for all of the "major" European leagues. Here is, what I presume, they are showing next season as it seems to be current information: http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/3551828

No But Bundesliga starts this Weekend and theres no info on it

Wow, I didn't realize it started so soon...

Hmm, well their Bundesliga coverage isn't that strong....only one game per week I think?

btw, I can't remember if I've told you, but for North American TV Coverage, www.soccertv.com is GREAT!

man you have it made

I just checked and, actually, the Bundesliga doesn't start until Aug. 12th.

wow i only pay $8 for both channels, somtimes satenta shows some good stuff but not enough for me pay for it

FSC

GOL TV

Ya sometimes they show like real dum games of teams no one has ever heard of..


Ya i was thinking of a diferent thing the German League Cup...

But i got my answers...TV contract for the Bundesliga expired at the end of the 2005-2006 season. Bundesliga coverage starting with the 2006-2007 season has moved to GolTV.

Will any of the channells boradcats France - Bosnia friendly on Aug.18

Setanta Sports will be carrying the Bosnia v France game on the 16th at 3pm eastern time live.

SHIT! I cant get Setanta in Canada!

Yeah, I realized that later. Sorry about that.



Yeah, that was a pretty recent development though. It was only announced a week ago or so.

BTW all....I just upgraded. I now get FSC & GolTV!!!!!!! OOOHHH HAPPY DAY!

Barely anyone gets Setanta unless you have DirecTV which is frustrating to say the least. And Setanta gets the most amount of European games.


Lucky Josh.
I am hoping that FSC shows alot of Reading's games. I know they aren't in high demand so it shouldn't be too had to get the rights, but I am sure plenty of Americans would tune in. Well plenty of Americans that already have FSC.

I am so excited about Reading too. I haven't seen Bobby on a regular basis since the DC United games, but I will be so pissed if they do a Sunderland. Coming up in first place and then doing terribly.

Great game by Reading this weekend, and it looks like FSC got the rights to next weeks game too. Good to see. And we get the Watford game on Tuesday live. Hopefully Demerit is fully recovered or atleast gets alittle time. Can't wait to see him play.

For some reason my dvr, won't work so I cant watch the Reading game. Well, they won so I am happy. Nothing is going to get in my way next week.

Not to ruin the game that aired today between Watford and West Ham United, Jay Demerit played the whole game, and Spector didn't play a minute.

Pretty sure GolTV has a lot more rights to German League games this year. Saw one a couple days ago. It was a re-run. FSC shows their usual amount of games of Bundesliga.
yeah Canadian TV does suck, thats why i went with DishNetwork

FSC dropped the german league. GolTV has it all now.
FSC sucks, they show the scores of the games you are watching when you watch them on delay, its annoying.

Yeah...I HATE that!!!!

A good mix in Canada is Rogers Sportsnet, which shows Live matches on Saturday Morning, then Fox Sports World Canada in the afternoon for the later matches. If you have both, its possibly to watch three Premiership matches live on Saturday, when a couple matches on Sunday as well.

Just a reminder, Beasley, Claudio Reyna, Convey, and Hanheman should all be in action tomorrow in the Man City/Reading game on FSC live at 3 eastern standard time.

Also, this week is the start of the Champs league. Remember to watch them, 2:30 on tuesday and wednesday this year on espn2.

1-0 Victory for Reading!! Bobby had some amazing set pieces in particular his free kick that the Icelandish centerback who I cant pronounce or spell, headed in. JRLM8 we should just create an Americans for Reading official thread.

We should but I get the feeling it would just be me and you talking, Shalrie. I think we should atleast get a Yanks Abroad thread going where we could discuss how awesome it was to see McBride score then Bocanegra score in the closing minutes of that game to give Fulham the win. Especially after Boca has been riding the bench. And that service from Convey was awesome. I thought the Man City should have got a red for the slide tackle from behind on convey. there was no intent for the ball. well that was a good win. and great shut out for hanheman.
beasley is still resting that hammy, thats why he wasnt dressed.

FYI all you sports fans. The documentary "Once in a Lifetime: the Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos" will air on ESPN2 on Wednesday, September 20 at 9-11pm Eastern Time.

I've seen previews for this and it looks like it is well done. Don't miss it!

Here is my source:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. I think I've already got plans for that night. Maybe I can get someone to TIVO it for me.

I'm excited, I almost went to the Red Bulls match where they were showing it on the big screen afterwards.

Oh, Fake has a hot date. Good luck my man.

I am definitely going to be checking that out. And remember the greatest match ever played (or wtvr its called) came out on DVD this week. The one about the US/England game. check that out too.

Dammit I really want to see this and I have to work tomorrow night. Sucks ass. But you say the Dvd is out do you?

The DVDs and this show are completely different.
I am sure eventually this will be on dvd too, just not now.

Ah I see, I looked for the Once in a Lifetime dvd on ebay and apparently it has only come out in Europe. WTF?

NICE FIND!! woulda never seen this otherwise.. nj

thanks Josh but i will have to Record it wont be tommorow night.

Jrlm8, how do you know that the DVD & the ESPN airing are different? Also, do you know how they are different??

Josh:
I was talking about something completely different. The movie "The Greatest Match Ever Played" came out on DVD this week. About the US national team vs England match.
The thing on tonight, is the ESPN production of the NY Cosmos story.
Sorry for the confusion, I was just making sure people knew that the other movie had come out on DVD, because I didn't til I saw it at blockbuster.

OOOOOhhhhhh.

Yeah.....very different. Yeah, I'm gonna put that in my netfilx queue.....I thought it was called "Game of their Lives"...the drama about the 1950 WC England match.

After watching that documentray, I want to rip Chignalia's f@#$ING POMPOUS HEAD OFF!

dammn he really f**ked us over with his Mob like Metality. crap i caught the second hour of the show i think i got enough to blame him ,and ABC. for the death of football in this country

I thought it was pretty good. I have never known that much about the NASL except for word of mouth from former coaches. (it was before my time) So seeing this documentary was really interesting to me. I like how no one knew how much Pele got paid. haha. And Giorgio was an ass, but some of his comments were funny as hell.
that was crazy about beckenbauer and the captain of the US WC team in 90. small world.

Yeah, I enjoyed it a great deal. I was just a young kid back then so it was very interesting to learn more about the behind the scenes bit.

I knew that Giorgio Chanigalia was a controversial character but I never realized what a total asshole he is!

Pepe, get me some cigarettes!

I also found it quite humorous how they did the post-bios in the credits....especially Chanigalia's & Pele's.
