    La Liga in HD for 2008-2009 season?

    As far as we know over here (not much to be fair) there is still another year to run on the Primera Liga deal....The good news is that this season Barca are back under the Mediapro wing - so we can get into the Camp Nou. We think Real Madrid are as well - at least they signed a contract with...

    EURO 2008 on ESPN HD (Warning: spoilers allowed!)

    it would be a bit pointless doing that as its close season for most players who are all on holiday, so none of them would be match fit. As for being allowed to substitute someone who's been red carded. Personally i think that's a bad idea, because you could get one of your players - say Gattuso...

    The Turks have only 12 fit players for their semi-final - they have 4 players suspended for the Germany game and Nihat is out with a hamstring tear. Their 3rd choice goalkeeper may have to play in an outfield role - So Germany all the way. As for Spain - Russia, although Russia lost 4-1 in the...

    EURO 2008 on ESPN HD (Warning: spoilers allowed!)

    Yeah - looks like it will happen, but I think Man Utd will play really tough mainly because they are really angry at the way Madrid have gone about 'tapping up' Ronaldo behind their back and using the press to convey messages to the player (this is the Real Madrid that always says they behave...

    EURO 2008 on ESPN HD (Warning: spoilers allowed!)

    SPOILER: Turkey - Czech Rebublic - incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aint over til the fat lass sings - (or in this case Nihat). Felt sorry for Cech, who beleive me is a fine keeper - perhaps only bettered by Iker Casillas. Talking about Spain, Malaga and Sporting Gijon were promoted to the Primera...

    Sorry keep forgetting you chaps are 6 or 7 hrs behind us...suffice to say both of todays games well worth watching....in terms of excitement goals and mad weather conditions. They kick off 6pm and 8.45 local time in Spain. -which is perfect, except i always fall asleep during the first half of...

    EURO 2008 on ESPN HD (Warning: spoilers allowed!)

    Crickey Spain 4 - Russia 1. Great display from Villa and co, but I have to say, had the Russians defended that badly at Stalingrad, we'd all (in Europe at least) be speaking German now.... As for Sweden - Greece, the best thing were the Swedish (female - ho hum) fans...Greece a side happy to...

    Every time Portugal play, I just keep hoping to see Cristiano Ronaldo kicked high into the air...He's a great player, but a spoilt little brat you only have to see the R Madrid affair to realise that. Portugal are great to watch though, as were the Dutch and Italy As for England, after seeing...

    EURO 2008 on ESPN HD (Warning: spoilers allowed!)

    Not been watching in HD, but I have to say that so far I've enjoyed all of the games (played at 6pm and 8.45 in Europe)- Portugal look frighteningly good and i was impressed by the Germans - while neither Turkey or Poland looked poor teams despite defeat. Shame the host sides are not that great...

    Ha ha: the main reason we have done so many Athletic games this season is that we can get into San Mames - they have a contract with Mediapro - I have no say in the matter. But yes, Sunday is my last game (unless I can sneak back now and then). I am going back to my hometown Kingston Upon...

    Sean: Hate to be pedantic, but it's Athletic Club Bilbao....Atletico is Madrid. Athletic Bilbao have always kept the name they were given when they were founded - in part by english engineers in the town - back in 1898. They had to change the name to Atletico Bilbao during the fascist...

    Trains in Spain are reasonably cheap and pretty efficient: Hopefully when you get over the express line Madrid - Barcelona will be opened and it will only take 2.45 hrs - at the moment its 4 and a half hours,,,but still a good trip as the last stretch is along the coast - i do it when my fear of...

    Argh. I was wrong with the above information. 3A Telesud is only showing it online at their site, not at their DishNetwork channel. I keep finding conflicting information about all this. :( You should live in Spain - far worse over here, although it is on Eurosport...

    Just wondering: is anyone showing the African Nations Cup over in the US - HD or not? if you get the chance to catch a few games, i advise you to do so: Eto'o Kanoute, Drogba, Keita, Diarra and a lot of other real quality players mean it is probably as exciting as any major tournament around...

    News to me...Although a probability as it is the Saturday night game....Still i don't trust Villarreal. Remember what happened for the Barca game earlier this season? No bloody game...cos Sogecable sold the domestic rights to a different station and Villarreal's lawyers told them we couldn't...

    I tell a lie...now it looks like we will do the Sevilla derby - Sevilla v Betis... Sid and I have wanted to do this game for years...probably won't be great football, but it will be great fun cos the two teams deeply hate each other..it is the meanest most vicious derby around...probably as...

    OK folks, looks as if the 1st game of 2008 will probably be Espanyol - Villarreal. On the face of it not fantastic, but in reality it is 3rd v 4th in the Primera Liga and thus a very big game. Espanyol ended 2007 winning away to Atletico Madrid, while Villarreal have been up there all season...
