Thread: La Liga is back! 2005-2006 season starts this month.

A new European football season starts this month! And once again VOOM will bring LIVE HD broadcasts from Spain every weekend on Rush-HD.

As before, I am going to post game schedules (as they become known) in the following thread:

Schedule of Live Soccer Matches on WorldSport-HD and Rush-HD

Here is a preliminary list of the first 6 games:

Su Aug-28, 2005 (Tentative) Atletico Madrid vs. Zaragoza
Su Sep-11, 2005 (Tentative) Real Madrid vs. Celta
Su Sep-18, 2005 (Tentative) Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona
We Sep-21, 2005 (Tentative) Barcelona vs. Valencia
Su Sep-25, 2005 (Tentative) Zaragoza vs. Deportivo
Su Oct-2, 2005 (Tentative) Real Madrid vs. Mallorca

Stay tuned for further updates!

In a nutshell, La Liga is the reason I subscribe to Voom.

From Paul Giblin (WorldSport commentator):

Starting the countdown to the new season....some good signings - Baptista (the Beast) has joined Real Madrid from Sevilla along with Pablo Garcia (from OSasuna) and young Brazilian ace Robinho....

Elsewhere Atletico Madrid have signed well and so have Valencia, who have bought Kluivert and have brought in former Getafe coach Quique Sanchez Flores....should be fun.

cheers PAUL

Wow Batista (the beast) to Real... This should be an interested move...

Well, I guess these news alone makes VOOM worth the $5/month.

I would say for some of us this is worth much more than $5!
You know, some Dish customers are paying $29.95 per weekend or $299 per season to watch select English Premier League games on channel 455/470. And that's in STANDARD definition!...
Spanish League is on par or (arguably) better than EPL and HD makes a lot of difference too! So, you do the math...

This would be really great! However, I haven't heard any confirmation to this yet. I hope this is true...

Looks like it's a mistake. I have verified with WorldSportHD/RushHD management, and they have not heard anything about Italian League...

Spanish La Liga games, are coming, though. The first one (Atletico Madrid vs. Zaragoza) is pretty much confirmed, time and date are still pending.
