In these group stages you mean?

Think I might have to find myself a team for the k.o. rounds too.

AMERICA! FÚCK YEAH!

Brooks saved the motherfúcking day, yeah!

Wouldn't mind watching all 3 games today. We're only getting Brazil-Mexico on f2a though.

Why don't you get all the games, IOAG?

I think they tried to make it Pay-TV in Britain but the European Court was the one that kept it free. Just assumed that applied across the board? It's a joke if they don't show all the games!

Afaik, European law states that each country has freedom to decide which sporting events are "general interest".

If I'm not mistaken, the European Court case filed by FIFA because f2a limits the number of potential bidders and therefore the amount they can sell it for. All the European Court ruling did was say it's the UK's prerrogative to decide whether or not the entire World Cup is general interest or not.

Successive Spanish governments have sold out to the media, the main reason being that the largest media corporations have editorial lines that are very close to either one of the two main political parties.

The list of events is decided on an annual basis, but as far as the World Cup or Euros are concerned, the only ones that have to be f2a are the semis and final plus any Spain match.

For the time being we still get the Tour de France and Vuelta a España, the Winter and Summer Olympics, the semis and final of Roland Garros IF there's a Spanish player involved, 1 CL fixture per week, 1 Liga fixture per week (never a Madrid or Barça game any more and rarely one between any of the other top teams), and then Spain games in major tournaments in other popular sports.

That's dreadful.

Don't get me started...don't think many countries in Europe legislate more for the wealthy classes than Spain - and the "Socialists" are just as much to blame as the Fascists.

Take a quick look at this Google search:

"general interest"


----------------------------------------------------------------------
?

I just find the whole thing laughable. How can the whole world cup tournament not be general interest for the Spanish public?

It should be freely available in every country in the World. For me it's bigger than the Olympics in how it engages the entire World.

Unbelievable, how many of our players are ending up there!

The Viola have identified 25 year-old Dos Santos element can ignite the imagination of the attack

FLORENCE - Fiorentina looking for a fantasy player in the attack, the target is the Mexican Giovani Dos Santos, the unfortunate protagonist in its global debut seen the two goals regularly canceled. It 'owned by Villareal and has a Spanish passport, did not secondary because it would occupy a place outside the EU. The purple with the Iberian club in the past has closed important deals: Borja Valero, Gonzalo Rodriguez and Giuseppe Rossi. The listing of the boy is 8-10 million to be paid over several years: to 25 years is ready for an adventure in the Italian league.

El Periodico Mediterraneo are also reporting that Wolfsburg have entered the race to sign Morata. I'd be so happy if we got him on loan and surely Madrid would rather he played in Spain.

It is his best option by far. He will get to play the most footie at Villarreal. Best move for all 3 parties imo.
