2019-20 Champions League: I’d 8-2 be Barcelona Right Now

I'm so un-loyal to any US networks that I've been loading up TUDN since Turner got the rights. I'd rather watch in pristine quality in spanish or on mute then bother with a stream for B/R Live.*

*I did buy like 3 PPV matches at a couple bucks each, but that process is so stupid, even excluding the cost. Logging in and "buying" matches a la carte? GTFO.

 

I had TUDN with my old cable service and it was great. But the Internet has service outages at least once a week and my wife works from home full time so we switched but the new carrier doesn’t have it. It’s been sad

 

Yeah, it'll be pretty disappointing if Rongen is their main studio guy. Hated him on beIN

 

I liked Manchester. But Ohioans are known for traveling to South Carolina so the bar isn’t high

 

Atalanta continuing their post break struggles

 

?

 

LOL. Who the hell is he?

 

Dutch-American player and coach who spent most his career for both in the US. And sadly appears he may be one of the studio guys for CBS who is taking over UCL/UEL coverage

 

I didn’t realize France was starting back up already. Club friendlies this month, cup matches the final 2 weekends. So they may not be so rusty when UCL starts

 

Speaking of which, this is an outrageous pass and goal from Di Maria to Neymar.



Alternate angle can be found in the post replies

 

Yeah Arsenal and St. Etienne were arguing about their cup final. Salibas contract and such. I think the last I read he’s going to play so I can only assume he’ll rip every L in his knee.

Also if I recall correctly they said they wouldn’t have any stadium events until September at the absolute earliest. Like it was non negotiable.

 

This is correct

 

CBS should sign him up

 

I don’t recall seeing the actual schedule listed out here so here we are with it getting close.

i think atletis gonna take it

format and draw is favorable for them

 

Them against Atalanta could be an interesting clash

 

null and void the entire thing

 

and vastly overrated

 

they play PAC 12 level soft schedule then go to playoffs/CL and get smashed....

 

Or they blow crazy leads when the refs have all their money on Barca.

Also, spare me the tears; they only have Neymar and a billion dollar squad vs 1 that was constructed for under 1/10 of that.

 

It’s Mariano Diaz who probably wouldn’t have even seen the field.

 

i am sure they still play but it being in jeopardy isn’t based on who did or didn’t test positive

 

They should probably hire MLB as consultants before they make this decision. Have to make sure every single person can get into the GroupMe chat so they can vote.

 

Spanish media already saying that it won’t impact the game.

Real players were given last week off and retested Sunday before returning. No idea if he didn’t follow protocol or was unlucky and caught it from someone within his home but because everyone was separated it appears to be a one off and not a Marlins situation. The rest of the team has already resumed training together.

 

i would obviously be ok with the auto win but i would be lying if i said i wouldnt be slightly disappointed. looking forward to taking next friday off and grilling out so glad the game looks safe

 

.........

 

Auto-win over the Champions of La Liga in a compressed, World Cup style tournament that did away with home and away legs?

Asterisk

 

Free Month of CBS All Access with promo Code MORE (Works For New, Existing & Previous Users) and PLAY

If you sign up today, you'd have access for the remainder of the tournament (final is on August 23rd). Europa Final is the the 21st and is assumed to be on this platform as well. These games will almost definitely be bumped to the mothership CBS channel though.

has there been any announcement on the broadcast plan

 

Fucking UEFA just taking the highest bid and not caring what platform the matches are being shown on.

Fox at least gave us some options and also that deal with DirecTV.

 

this is fucking terrible

really was hoping to avoid taking off (possibly) multiple afternoons but if i can't record, i am not sure what the solution is

 

With negotiating across 50,100 or more countries, how do you expect them to handle the transaction?

 

I am also displeased with their plan but the writing was on the wall for this.

In addition, we can all enjoy a free month, covering the remainder of this year's competition.

I do not recall anything more than 7 free days on B/R Live.

I guess I'll be signing up and cancelling Star Trek All Access based on if CL/EL is active that month.

There is always the spanish language broadcast fall back.

 

gotta start concocting up to 3 different excuses as to why i am going to need to leave at 2pm on random weekday in august

 

pretty much what i do for espn+

keep it for FA/EFL matches for as long as city is still alive and then cancel after that. hopefully cbs is as good about archiving stuff as espn+ is

 

TUDN >>>>>>>>>>> CBS or Turner.

 

cbs all access is free with a 247 subscription as well if you have one

 

They hire a company to handle their media rights, and the U.S. is a very important growth market. They should pay close attention to how it’s broadcasted here.
