Is that not ESPN US?

Is it on the BT sports package

FFS.

No it's not, French and German only.

beIN isn't showing it live in the US because the Madrid game is on at the same time. This is why they need more channel space, Serie A always gets screwed because they think that everyone here only wants to watch La Liga & that Serie A fans don't really exist. They shouldn't have bought the rights to three big leagues if they don't have the means to show them all a fair amount.

I've "complained" to them a few times but I always either got ignored or got an automated response telling me that I can watch such-and-such match delayed, or on the Spanish channel I don't get.

Fuck beIN, they ruined everything. I remember there was an international match, United States vs I don't remember who and it was only on beIN. The fact that I can't even watch my own country play is ridiculous.

Sometimes they would rather replay the same Barca or Madrid match two or three times in a day than show one Serie A game even on delay. And I like Barca so I'm glad to be able to see all their games, but I'd rather watch Serie A than *insert random other La Liga game here*. The fact that Serie A fans are paying extra for this channel with such poor coverage isn't right.

Just realised I won't be able to watch this match since I'll be on the road all night Sunday

I was just taking a liking to you

I was just taking a liking to you

I'm sorry

 

[Nzoric]

I'm sorry

You should be

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Nizzypuff going after the new girl again?

 

[Ragazza]

You should be

I'm guessing you missed my intro when I joined. I'll just say the fact that I like Barca should probably be the least of your worries. :tongue:

But it's still hilarious that the FIGC listened to Lotito's bitching and that the game is played in Rome, so it's really a home game for them. What a joke.

The way things have gone in the build-up to this game should really prompt a review of the organisation of the Supercoppa.

If the FIGC/Lega wanted this game played in Beijing to market Italian football, Juve shouldn't have been able to pull out of that in order to line their own pockets by playing games in America and then saying Beijing didn't fit their schedule.

There was never formal agreement over this.

I don't think official matches should be played abroad... marketing in other countries, that's what friendlies are for. But moving the match back to Italy, it should definitely have been put in a neutral venue.

Exactly.

I believe there ought to be in future to prevent the sort of mess there has been this summer.

Where would you suggest?

This one could only have been in Milan, and there wouldn't have been as big a crowd in all probability.

I'd rather see one of the teams at home (should be the league winners) to ensure there is a decent crowd.

Definitely.

Wasn't there an agreement that 3 out of 4 Supercups have to be played in Beijing (starting in 2010 I think)? Therefore Juve didn't have to play in China this time around? Whereas next season it must be played in China no matter what.

Shouldn't be left for the clubs to decide.

I think they'll give more attention to this matter after what happened this year.

Inter are using the Meazza to play a Coppa Italia match the same day anyway. Still though, playing it at the Olimpico does give Lazio an advantage. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to please everyone.
