SERIE A GAMES USA---Rai International

[milanpalermo23]

So FSC lost rights to Serie A games to the stupid Arabic channel called BEIn or something like that.....ESPN 3 is also not showing the games.

Normally I watched the games on Rai international anyways. There were reports that the wouldn't show games, and then a few days ago it wa announces that they have an agreement.

On the Official Rai international website, the schedule showed that the games would be televised, now today it has changed and it seems as if they have been removed from the tv schedule.

Does anybody know any information about this?

 

[Senatore_M84]

wait.... WHAT?

fsc won't show serie A?!

 

[Senatore_M84]

ONLY AVAILABLE IN DISH AND DIRECT TV?!


wtf..... i have comcast.

I was hoping you would reply.

Nope they lost rights. This Arabic channel bought them. Along with La Liga from GOLTV. The channel isn't that bad, it's on dish network.

But I liked Rai and if they don't show it I will have to buy the channel for $20
A month. (right now everyone has free trial)

Right

Al Jazeera won the rights to broadcast Serie A, La Liga, and Ligue 1 in the United States. They'll be showing matches for all three leagues on a new channel called BeIn.

Channel 408 (IIRC) if you have Dish Network, but not too sure about other providers. You should not have to pay extra for BeIn as it will be part of the same package as FSC.

FU ARABZ. Get out of my country

 

[Senatore_M84]

anyway just saw comcast twitter posted....

"Comcast is currently working with beIN Sports so that we can offer more European soccer to Xfinity customers. We will keep you up-to-date."

Comcast will pick it up... but it remains to be seen how quick it'll come to my area. Comcast is slow as fuck.

What???

What the hell is this BeIn I keep reading about. I'll be damned if I actually have to subscribe to cable for ONE channel...

 

[Senatore_M84]

america's not my country? Born here. Raised her. Just as much mine as anyone whitey who's an immigrant just a bit farther back.


Anyway, i could care less who broadcasts games. I just wanna get them. I cannot stand streaming......

Comcast will pick it up, but god knows how long before I get to see it.


--

actually have to say, smart move for beIN sports.... why the hell would FSC let them go? Their channel is football only. Are they just gonna say epl nonstop? ugh

knew you would bite

--------------------------


btw, al jazeera are a qatari company, I boycotted them, so I have no choice but to stream/watch games at cafes.

 

[Senatore_M84]

this is literally worse than commode.

this is first thing thats actually pissed me off all summer. I'm definitely going to have to stream first few matches until dumbass comcast gets their shit together.


i could care less how many pepe amore's we sign. I just wanna watch them!

 

[milanpalermo23]

Senatore, if the Rai shows the games just get that.

It's like $6 a month. They show all of the games. Sunday mornings they do "La Giostra dei Gol" where they show one game and when another team scored they show the goals instantly with replays from that stadium

good call.

I'll atleast add it temporarily till BeIN comes.


beIN will surely be part of my sports package. IE only channels i watch.... fsc, golttv, nbatv, mlbtv

 

[Congo Powers]

yes, dish and directv

so, that means just go to bar to watch the games

to be honest... fav place to watch games is cafe/bar public place.


you get a little atmosphere, good shit talking with fans/friends

 

[Sage]

^ yep, once I started going to watch games outside far more often, it's more enjoyable

only downside is that over here they have preference over RM/Barca games.

I called to book chairs for the classico tonight, going to be loud as hell

lol, classico starts at noon my time.

I went to the bar to get a seat 11am (they have good breakfast). Already packed.

 

[KujaIX]

I'd be pissed off if I were you, guys.

ESPN is the one sporting saving grace over here.

 

[Sage]

edit: ESPN is really good when I stream it.

 

[KujaIX]

UNICEF?

I thought they spent all day helping arabs in north africa?

Large, sweating, bearded Arab men smoking in a bar... My dreams have come true.

"helping"

 

[milanpalermo23]

OMG This is getting worse.

Just looked at the beIN schedule, and it shows that they are playing la liga and ligue 1 during the day on sunday.

so the milan game won't even be live.....it will be at like 7:00pm my time. which is 7 hours after kick off.

I am still hoping for RAI to be showing the games.
