Exclusive: Schedule of Next Soccer Games to be broadcasted LIVE in WorldSport-HD

[Sean Mota]

Here's the e-mail I got from wTVision. I still have to do some research to see whether these games will be shown in WorldSport-HD. These might show as tape delayed in WorldSport-HD, but it is a good start. I do not think this is confidential information since it is public knowledge that the games are on VOOM and who is producing them.

Dear Sean,

as you know, we just make the graphics for the games, but I already forward your email to one of our contacts at the Rainbow Sports Networks, and I'm sure he will get back to you.

All I can do more is to tell you the games that are already scheduled with the local time, so you have to calculate your local time. Most of these games are not confirmed, so there can be changes.
If Rainbow Sports Net. can't help you with the games, you can always email me and ask, and I'll send you the games I have scheduled.

After looking at this email more carefully, I do not see in zap2it a game scheduled for the 18th or 19th between Portugal vs. England. I do not know about this game as it may be shown as tape delayed.

Saturday 21st February 2004 Valencia vs Barça 2130 local
2030 GMT

This one. I think he got the wrong date as I think is the one we reported here. It might be Saturday instead of Sunday. I will have to check.

26th February Saxaux vs Inter Milan Time: 19.45 GMT (UEFA Cup)

This is the one we reported here. It is a confirmation.

So it looks like in March we are going to get a LIVE game every Sunday.

I don't believe the Euro friendly will be shown. I believe Setanta Sports has the rights to England friendlies in the US.

 

[Sean Mota]

I agree... It might be shown as tape delayed (a few days later) maybe... I'll watch for it.

If anyone wants to check WorldSport-HD at 4:00PM or 4:15PM ET or 1:15pm PT to see if the match of Portugal vs England is shown. I got the following quote from SoccerTV.com

Portugal vs England February 18 at 4:15pm ET/1:15pm PT LIVE EXCLUSIVELY on closed-circuit TV

and zap2it.com does not show this game on their schedule today.

mczinczoll posted at Yahoo Group that the game between Portugal and England was played today LIVE on WorldSport as it was scheduled. Cool! I hope that there is a repeat tonight. This zap2it.com schedule is really trash sometimes...

So, can anyone confirm that? This is a very welcome development!

Yes, I was surfing, and on the program guide it stated "Dog Show" with no more info than that. I was curious so I tuned to it, and the England Portugal game was playing!!!!

 

[Sean Mota]

This is the time to repeat it but I have not seen it again. I am sure it will be...

Glad to hear that! At last we crossed the Spanish border! And did it live! I love Spanish soccer, but would be nice to see other clubs too. Too bad I missed this game! Looking forward to seeing UEFA Cup games next month.

Just love the announcerss of WorldSport. One of them is Spanish, forgot his name, he does the play by play, he has slight accent and knows a lot about soccer. He does the Liga and also did the Friendly of Portugal, and knew as much. The other in English, Paul I think is his name. Sometimes there´s a weird Spanish with a terrible accent, makes it impossible to understand him. GET RID OF HIM!!!!!!
