USA Foxes

[FireFox]

I probably need to change my tv provider for next season.

Can't believe I have to illegally watch Juve v Bayern because it's on FS2. I know Barca and Arsenal have more US fans, but it's clearly not the most important match happening. I could totally see Leicester always being on FS2 or extra or whatever else they have that I can't get with Comcast.

Look at your regional networks. Sometimes they simulcast them. Although for me, looks like the Juve-Bayern match is only on Fox Deportes.

Nah, with Comcast I get FS1 so only 1 option for a European game and that's it usually.

Is the CONCACAF Champions League worth watching? First leg of the quarterfinal between Queretaro and D.C. United tonight. Usually I can't be bothered for MLS but I expect this might be a bit higher quality?

DC game was a predictable result..Seattle v Club America is pretty decent so far.

[Mad Dog]

Bridge! I'll be at Maggie McGarrys in SF on Saturday. Will be a few of us. Going with a Norwich supporting mate too. Come have a beer!

[Bridge]

Thanks MD..i'll try my best to get away for the match.

Sometimes these games pop up on MASN or TCN for me, only reason I mention.

Not really. Especially if a team like DC United is involved (I'm a DC United supporter).

The Sounders - Club America 2nd leg should be great.

 

For the Sounders, it will be a monumental task to play against both Club America and the CONCACAF refs. They'll be surrounded by nearly 100,000 loud and insane Mexican fans that have no shame in throwing stuff at players, shining lazer pointers at the keeper, etc.

Games will sometimes pop up on the Fox Sports regional networks. Last weekend the Spurs cup tie was on those Fox channels. I randomly saw it on livesoccertv.com. But unfortunately not all of us have a regional Fox Sports network.

Just thought I'd throw it out there. The next 3 Leicester City games are all televised on nbcsn.

Are you sure? Wouldn't think they'd have the Tuesday game vs West over some of the other games, including Villa v Everton (although with Tim Howard dropped, maybe less Americans will want to watch Everton).

They game against Watford should have Arlo commentating and additional coverage. Arlo was on the most recent Men in Blazers podcast too btw, toward the end.

This is according to my Comcast guide, which has not lead me wrong thus far. When NBCSN or USA has not yet decided which game they're broadcasting, it will usually just say premier league: TBA.

 

I think the reason we're going to be on national TV is that we have the strongest narrative as the Cinderella team trying to win the title, and we will garner the most interest of any casual/neutral viewer. So long as we stay in the race, I won't have to watch a crap stream over my laptop.

Enjoy this Saturday lads. 5:30am kick offs on Sunday for the rest of the season going forwards. Sigh

[FireFox]

At least I won't have to deal with the app or website stream.

[UPinCarolina]

The change in time is truly awful.

Speaking of the time change. The Monday game in 2 weeks is at 4pm ET instead of 3 because we'll have changed time but they haven't.

[Mad Dog]

Any SF foxes, we switched venue to Mad Dog In The Fog (also showing rugby right after, annnnd Toronado just across the street with ~500 beers on tap)

I drank quite a few beers there this summer! Great location. Pliny the Elder at Toronado

I would love to try the Pliny beer, I don't think it's available in Leicester though...

Still at it 16 hours later. One of the all time great NBA games as well, Steph Curry with the winning shot. Perfect day of sport. Bridge, good to meet you briefly, me and the wife will hit you up when we visit Portland in the summer! Love you USA Foxes!

Rebecca Lowe and Arlo White reportedly signing contract extensions to stay with NBC until 21-22 (when the current PL deal with NBC ends).

So I have my bachelor party in Vegas this weekend. Any recs for where to watch the game? Going to the rugby 7s after that, should be a good time. FYI, nowhere really shows the games / any games in Calgary, so I've watched in my room on my iPad on Uverse streaming (or NBC sports app) using my VPN. Thank god the hotel has decent internet.

@@americanfox - still not ordered my shirts from Aliexpress yet but I did get a prepaid visa from Walgreens!

Crown & Anchor is the place to go. Another alternative is to go to a sportsbook (say, at that mall connected to the Hilton Elara) and watch there on one of those couches.

Great, thanks AF! Might do sports book if more convenient but you never know if I can convince the others to go.... None of them like football/soccer though but it is MY bachelor party so they have to do what I want...right?!
