Edit: I've updated the above schedule

Excellent! I was getting worry about not knowing which games we will have in April.

You know, I never concidered myself a soccer fan, but lately I have been watching the game in HD. I have even been switching back and forth watching it in SD and then back to HD during the same game. There is just something that reaches out and grabs your attention when you watch the game in HD.

Add one new soccer fan. Thanks for the game schedule.

SUPERB to hear, R-Mac.

Add another note of thanks, Ilya!

Can you tell us which June matches will be shown live? [British friends headed over,- they'll need to know.]

Unfortunately league games will be over by June (they will re-start in August). June-July is when EURO-2004 takes place in Portugal (national teams will be playing, not individual clubs). There is still no word on whether WorldSport will be showing EURO-2004. Probably not.

Hey, WorldSport! Bring us EURO-2004! Show once again that WorldSport is the best channel for European soccer!

Ah-ha. That's where i'm at. Euro matches...

Thanks again, Ilya! -- a grave misfortune if WorldSport doesn't offer EURO-2004.

Americans need the chance to see all the peoples of Europe together, sporting about. Everyone does in today's world.

AGAIN:
WorldSport! Please bring us EURO-2004!

Now guys this is nothing official but I was reading through another forum (a spanish forum) and read the following:

CableTVJuegos de la Primera Liga española en alta definición para EEUU
by Gerardo Lazos

El servicio satelital, Voom, filial de Cablevision Systems, de Estados Unidos, anunció que continuará la transmisión de los juegos de la Primera Liga española, en formato de alta definición, a través del canal WorldSport-HD, con el encuentro entre el Real Madrid y el Barcelona, a finales de abril.

WorldSport-HD es el único canal en Estados Unidos que transmite juegos de Fútbol Soccer internacional en formato de alta definición. La programación incluirá los juegos de la Eurocopa 2004.WorldSport-HD es una empresa de Rainbow Media Holdings.

Obviously, what I highlighted in RED is what's important. If my translation is correct, it will indicate that Euro-2004 games will be in WorldSport-HD. Now, I have emailed the original poster to verify this. Keeping finger cross.

Superb, Sean. [Fine bilingual skills. Always very nice to have.]

Spoke to my british friend about the "footie" -- never heard of worldsport. ??
==> Recommended SKY & the BBC, which will carry EURO-'04 games for them.

Please keep the info coming, men!

Bukowski, WorldSport is exclusive to VOOM, and VOOM is exclusive to US. So no one in Europe would know about it. Plus, Europe doesn't have HD (only starting now), so BBC and others would be SD, I assume...
