Foxsports - La Liga & Serie A

[The Kop]

From this weekend 2 games a week each league live and 2 on delay for the next 2 seasons.

Brilliant news.

[Juventino]

Great news. Finally, Serie A coverage that isn't stuck in the 70s. Going to be great to watch the Turin derby on Fox this Sunday, best time too, 8pm.

+1. About time. Hopefully Fox can get the Bundesliga as well so one won't have to subscribe to Setanta.

[El Pibe D'Oro]

This is the best news I have heard all week!!!

Any idea what other game this weekend?

[David Puddy]

Fantastic news! Just checked the guide for Sunday night and it's not showing the Juve game at the moment? Will this change as it gets closer?

[bapa]

Real Madrid V Athletico Madrid live 6am (EST) Sunday 29 sept FOX3HD & 3
Replays 12.30pm and 7.30pm

Torino v Juve, live 8.30pm (EST) Sunday 29th Fox Sports 1hd & 1

[The Kop]

The Fox release isn’t clear, when they say 2 live is it 2 from each league or 1 from La Liga and 1 from Serie A? Cos they’re only promoting the Madrid and Turin derbies this week.

[ozzie owl]

Great news for football fans, looking forward to the Madrid derby this weekend.

About time.

I reckon it is 1 and 1.

[dinozoff]

Australia's sports leader will broadcast two LIVE matches each week with an additional two matches on delay from both leagues, starting with the Madrid and Turin derbies this Sunday, 29 September.

not that Napoli will be getting many games if at all but its a great development none the less

Watching Fox Sports News, said on there it's two from each league per week. Maybe that starts next weekend.

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

[David Puddy]

"The advertised Torino-Juventus match will not be shown due to contract complications" is what it's saying on the foxtel guide now.

WHAT THE FUCK!? ALREADY!?

[mike17]

what the fuck. so its not on rai or foxsports

stupid greedy cunts, just put the fucken game on. I literally just upgraded to platinum hd for the game tonight

im so fukn angry that i just have to laugh or ill end up blowing something up

[David Puddy]

Saw a post from Adam Peacock on Twitter that they're working to resolve the issues by next week so we should HOPEFULLY see games next weekend. Doesn't help our cause tonight but better late than never.

[Ga Pala]

Watched Juve v Torino on Rai and boy is the picture quality bad. Not an enjoyable experience. At least Juve ground out the win

[David Puddy]

Game was pretty awful in general as well, wouldn't have been the best advertisement for Serie A's first game on Fox so maybe it's better that it wasn't shown

Good win by Juve away from home though.

[WayneO]

I heard the goal was offside?

[The Kop]

Marginally, to be fair the defender had Tevez in a headlock.

FYI - all Serie A (and Ligue 1) is available on B365 for live streaming if you have an account with them.

its either offside, or its not!


so another assisted win to Juve from the referees.......


yeah, yeah as some will say; it all gets evened out over the season.
However, thats 4 points now that Rubentus have recieved from shocking Referee decisions


as for ROMA, WOW!!!

Can't believe I'm gonna agree with bubu, offside is offside there is no gradation.

My understanding of the rule, Juve's goal was offside, but considering the speed of the play, good luck to any official who could call that correctly, we again have the benefit of multiple camera angles as well as slow motion.

I'm not sure if there is a part of the offside rule that covers when two players are grappling, this again would have made it difficult to see.

Roma have been the real suprise packet, playing some very nice football, would have thought they would struggle after selling Osvaldo, Marquinhos and Lamela, but they replaced them well, Benatia has been very good. Look more like a unit now.

[Blue Mastiff]

Juve are hard to watch

They bore me.

Was expecting a entertaining game

Hopefully with fox you can actually see the ball hit the back of the net when a goal is scored

[El Pibe D'Oro]

Roma are on fire, Garcia won a championship with Lille which would have been pretty difficult given their budget, you can see why Gervinho wanted to go to Roma, he looks reborn under Garcia. Two great goals this morning

Good to see that there are 7-8 real quality sides, the league is very even unlike Spain and to a lesser degree england, although the usual suspects have been slipping up there.

No one would have been able to catch that Juve goal in normal time, the incident against Chievo was far worse, but Juve are great at grinding out the results and deserved the win

[adelaidebloke]

any big la liga or serie a games coming up on fox ???

haha yeh probably

and for the guy saying juve are hard to watch - my dads italian and my mum was born in manchester. supported juve and manchester nearly 30 years

i found united were much worse to watch at home v west brom. i know west brom > torino but it was a derby

though i do often worry about italy/juve without pirlo - juve need a general, maybe verratti - to bring out the best in the other players


one thing you can say about juve that you cant about man u is they are friggen solid

[Juventino]

Hard for Juve when others put 10 behind the ball. So it's not an issue of 'Juve are hard to watch.' However, it is something that we, and other big teams who control possession, need to learn to deal with. That's the nature of the game.
