Its 4 or 5 on Eurosport. I got Eurosport because they showed the Asian Cup, and they show the African Cup of Nations.


Where are you? Eurosport are very unreliable and station 2 has been added to the premium cable provider package which I don't have. Asian Cup was good but they didn't show the Korea group match.

The 5 Eurosport stations I think are premium and satellite only.

I live in Sweden and have eurosport 1 and 2. They are pretty reliable here. I just picked it as one of my stations in a basic package.
I remember they didnt show one game because something else was on, probably cross country skiing.

The Bundesliga really advertise, I dont watch the channel much but each time I flick past it seems they have a Bundesliga commercial.

I am not really interested in Bundesliga although now I look to see if Inglostadt are on, because Leckie always gets a game.

SPL is a joke....almost no TV or internet coverage


Yeah I mean even the A-League has TV coverage.


How many Bundesliga games are on tv in Germany ?


Every game live Buli1 and 2 on SKY (20€ a month) 3 Liga has 4 games a week on free to air regional stations which are available nationwide.

They also have Saturday conference which is all 5 games at once where they cross to whichever has action (goals, pens, cards etc) it's like NFL redzone.
You can watch conference or a single g game individually.

There's also sportdigital for satellite customers which has Championship, Holy Trinity and A-League plus many more. I can't watch as I've only got cable. At least 1 A-League game a week I think.


Hmm interesting

Herd with two assists in a 7:1 win. Williams is still fit. Oar very involved with taking good corners. Weird with Wright at HT as he intercepted the ball on 45+3. Hopefully no injury.

Wow 6 pages of action overnight and half of European leagues are on a break. Huge night. One of the biggest ever.

Anyone with detailed info on how Williams, rogic, smith, oar went? Also giannou played 70 odd mins and scored 2 goals in a 4-0 win. Scotts Mac also with two goals overnight.

Pretty lazy Liverpool performance and Smith came on with about 30 to play. He gave a lot of effort and crossed really well and got forward. Moreno got caught out a bit for the goals and had a bad day. The challenge is on for match time.

Oar was really involved in his 30 taking corners which kept getting headed off target. Good tackles as well.

Williams closed things down at the end and was very cautious.

Rogic was going alright and got pulled off to boos at the poor management decision.

Did Williams play centre back or right back?

Did Rogic make some good touches?

Also Boruc saved a penalty and kept a clean sheet for Bournemouth against high flyers Leicester.

I'd push for a loan to the Championship if I was him.

Yeah I don't know. Coventry are in league one. Sitting 4th so hoping they can get promoted at the end of the season. I would imagine a big team like Seattle sounders would be above league one level. He was getting regular game time in the MLS when fit.

Interesting journey he's had. Not many goals suggests he's more defensive?
Mooy, Mass and Rogic should give us a lot of joy after Jedinak finishes up. Jedinak is a unique midfielder and different to the 3 mentioned. Who'd probably be our next tall defensive midfielder?

Seattle is way above that level.
But at 25 or so, I suspect he's gone home to England to test himself differently. He was only ever really a sub for Seattle, as he was usually competing with Alonso, who is a 1st class midfielder.

Rogic definitely with good touches from what I could gather.

No information on Williams. He got 12mins to close things down so he probably roamed. Charlton made an earlier sub which saw a starting player move to right back.

He started quite a few games from memory. Not every game but quite a few. He better hope they get promoted cos that's a big gamble. I'd imagine he would've taken a big pay cut and a chance to live in the US with fewer taxes to live in an absolute dive of a city on less money and with higher taxes. Is he married? What does his missus think? :lol:

Just did some trawling through the Ross County forum, they seem to really rate Irvine over there!

Most posters consider him to be a real presence in midfield with a good eye for key passes. One poster who was the most in depth in terms of analysis said that Irvine's last at h was his best of the season after finally showing some quality on the ball.

Would be good to see him back in the Socceroos fold soon, just see where he stacks up against the likes of Luongo, McKay ect...

Agreed. There's quite a few on the radar and they could do with some socceroos minutes. Most players need about 10-20 games for the socceroos before they start hitting their straps.

We play games against Tajikistan and against Jordan at home in March. Then friendlies against Greece in June. Need a few youngsters to be blooded into the side ahead of the crucial world cup qualifiers starting in September and then the Confed's cup the following June.

Yep, thats right, the confed's cup is next year!

Also because the world cup qualifiers last round has been expanded to 6 teams in each group, then there are ten games for every team with two matches for each team for every international week meaning there will be no friendlies during this time to trial new players.

That's very interesting... I hadn't realised that.
That really makes things clear then. There's just so many unsettled things about the line up right now.
