I'...Anyone know the Direct TV channel for Mun2?<br /><br />I'm sure the game will be broadcast in HD too right!?<br /><br />Man o man...all I can say is that us true fans will be remembering these ridiculous scenarios in 6-8 years when US soccer has made its rise to overtake Hockey (which I play and love) as America's 4th favorite sport.pdrcoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07708660274878831094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-12280110811126924882009-07-21T12:38:35.229-07:002009-07-21T12:38:35.229-07:00Actually, it's because FMF sold all of the nor...Actually, it's because FMF sold all of the north american broadcast rights (in both English and spanish) for all Mexico home games to telemundo. Telemundo then offered to sell the english rights to ESPN, but for a Price that was more than espn wanted to pay. So, telemundo is showing the match on mun2. <br /><br />This is probably a losing situation for all parties involved because mun2 is not widely available and thus telemundo will not be able to command the same fees for ads that espn can. Considering that we only play in Mexico once every four years, were prolly not going to see a lot of people begging their cable companies to get mun2.americanfooligan@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810905694533415561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-69700745831659669112009-07-21T08:53:52.486-07:002009-07-21T08:53:52.486-07:00It is up to the Mexican Football Association and t...It is up to the Mexican Football Association and they have no interest in selling the TV rights. It is the last thing they hold over us, since they cannot beat us on the field, they will make our fans pay. I guarantee that the TV stations have done what they can to get the game. I hate ESPN coverage, but they know a big game, and there is no way they did not try to get the rights to this game. <br /><br />Complaining here or elsewhere only plays into their hands. It is one game, and it is being shown on TV. How much do you care about the commentary anyway? Its not like Tommy Smith is our announcer. This is a case of "let the baby have his bottle", and we will take the win!Shmailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598317138106727629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-53032767108838786732009-07-20T21:35:58.885-07:002009-07-20T21:35:58.885-07:00Can someone explain why an American company can...Can someone explain why an American company can't buy the rights to the U.S. v. Mexico game on August 12? What the hell is mun2? I don't think I have that one.
