WORST THING TO HAPPEN IN FOOTBALL

[zOla]

DAMN SH!T !! F!CK... !

I live in the U.S. and guess what... I AIN'T GONNA WATCH THE EURO 2000 !!!!!!!

WHY ? 'CAUSE IT IS PAY-PER-VIEW... meaning ya gotta pay $20 USD for one match to watch, this if fockin crazy.

Unless you wanna order the package (dunno how much that is exactly but I am guessing around $100 USD), but still YOU will have to damn PAY...

It is fockin' cheaper to go watch a baseball game (err the tickets for it). sh!t.. this has upset me so much.

I've seen a lot of bull but this just beats it all... and there is even a talk to make the WORLD CUP 2002 paid also... man... ! WELCOME TO AMERICA... pssh..bull

[Valleyboy]

mate Thats really shite!

I think i'd go mad living over their, No football just baseball, & americn "football".

What part of the States are you in? Are their any bars showing the matches. If so i should imagine their would be a great atmosphere! Their always is over here in london...well until we are knocked out onb penalties again!!! :(

[zOla]

I am in Illinois... about 30miles north of Chicago!

yes..there is one bar I know of but it is at the other end of Chicago... too far away.

Zola I was even willing to order game by game because many people here were interested, but when I called them they said that I have to have a Focken digital cable for that.
Idiots

[zOla]

yep...per-per-view baby...

[mirkwood]

You'll get used to it eventually... :(

[zOla]

bloody no.. I never will !

I grew up around soccer and not being able to watch my sport pisses the guts out of me. At least I can watch club football free...for now, the International scene has been made impossible to follow here. Damn corporate bastards.

[Delija]

Good one zola.It is really a shame.That is why US will NEVER be good soccer nation unless they show as much soccer as baseball.

Here in Canada they're showing all the games on TSN....

u should get a dish....

[AusDelija]

Yep...up until the world cup 98 we got all games free-to-air ever since cable TV came around it has f#$ked everything up. I wish Rupert Murdoch would go to hell. F#$ken buying all the rights to broadcast anything he wants.....Money hungry bastards should keep there hands off our game!!!!!

[Zaratustra]

[AusDelija]

Yes, you are correct! Why?

[byzantium21]

hey guys. the spanish network channels like univision and telemundo are showing some games as well, i believe. other than that, there are only very few sports bars that show pay per view events.

and what can i say, i don't even have tv!

[zOla]

what...univision and telemundo are showing the matches ? you sure man

[Evan]

yeah baseball is about the gayest sport in the world... it is so BORING! my God!!!! half the time the guys dont even get to hit the ball and if they do they just get out. and why would you spend 2 hours watching a baseball game on tv and see just outs and stuff and have to wait for the good part(if there even is one) when i could just turn it to Sport Center and watch 3 or 4 clips of some guy hitting a ball and then he runs home and thats the game!
yeah america sucks for soccer. my friend got this digital cable thing and got over 100 sports channels... and guess what... YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SOCCER CHANNEL!!!!!! they've got like 50 free baseball games going on at once and about 30 football games. they've got cricket for free, but they don't have soccer!

my town is full of redneck football players(american football) and retard cocky baseball players there get their way with everything. they always say how soccer is stupid and its for pussies(you are what you eat :) ) but we always kick their butts and so far the no body on the soccer team has lost a fight yet

[Matthias]

I feel bad for you Evan, maybe you should move to Europe and join the people that eat breath and live soccer. The reason america doesnt play it is because they suck shit at it, and they couldn't kick a ball for ***k all!!!!

[PhiLensky]

Amen Borak ;)

[ItalianBoy]

Not only they suck at it but they pretend and they tell you that they are actually good at it and they can take on any team. PLEASE!!!! and plus they pretend to be good and then sometimes since they know they are not they ask WHY they arent? I mean start showing and not for 129 bucks! its ridicoules. They show on ESPN stuff like wood chopping contest or why did Babe ruth put a cabbage under his hat etc but no soccer?

[Matthias]

I know, it's pathetic, TSN shows more curling and CFL, rather then soccer, the biggest sport in the world, period. They show the occasional EPL match or a big Champions League game, but thats it. TV5 shows some French League games occasionaly.

[ItalianBoy]

I mean yesterday I thought they would show some CL games but I guess they didnt play, anyway, I turned to channel 31, and guess what?
How to hunt a turkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats what they were showing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why dont they show soccer??????????????????????????????

[FANTA]

thats the same problem with me italianboy.

last season, espn showed live serie a games, this season all i get is 1 game on tuesday and a 1 hour hilite show later on.

at least they are still showing CL games live.

instead of showing the live games they are showing outdoor adventures and hunting shows. looks like the rednecks are taking over espn :grumpy:

[Slavenik]

where do you live Fanta?

[ItalianBoy]

Today they were supposed to show Juve Porto or some CL game and they didnt. They are probably showing: How to get the best wood for your fireplace. Or fastest cheese eater or some other crap. I heard that on the satellite they got FOX and they show only soccer for the most part.
I might switch. Thank god I have RAI international, they have this program in the morning on SUN called LA GRANDE GIOSTRA DEL GOL. they show one game of Serie A and since other games are playing too, when somone scores in another game the show you. Its awesome and its all live. So I can see all the SERIE A matches, Italy games and some other games of ITA. Still I would like to see also some SPA games or some ARG soccer etc.

[Matthias]

Umm, heres a tip, get the ***k out of north america, I am, as soon as I am done with University!

I miss watching EUROSPORT, they show the best in sports

100% Football (not American!) ;)
WC Skiing :star::star::star:

3. 10 pin Bowling :annoyed:
4. Fishing with Shelly and Courteney :depressed
5. Figure Skating :sleepy:
:stop: :stop: :stop: !!!!!!!!!!!

[ItalianBoy]

I know, still the USA can give many more opportinuties and plus I got the ITA channel so its not that big a deal. Only that I see only soccer once a week. And plus I am getting SAT now so it will be cool.
