ESPN Deportes World Cup in portuguese

FYI...

Due to Univision having spanish language rights in the USA, ESPN Deportes will broadcast al the games in Portuguese....very good for us porkchops here in the USA...it will most likely be brazilian commentators...I can't stand their accents

Old news, but I'm sure there were people around here who didn't know. (Not sure if it got posted here when it was announced a few months back)

Yea it will be Brazilian most likely. God I hate the TV Globo guys.

But surely they are better / know more than either the American or -god help us- the Univision dorks (those are truly awful commentators)?

Who has the rights to the American broadcasts? Does anybody have a schedule for the TV Guide showings in the US (eastern, AT&T Uverse?).

Thanks!

LOL. Yeah, they do love that name.

Anyhow - I just read somewhere else that ESPN is pretty much going to stop everything to cover the WC this summer. All 64 games will be shown LIVE! - on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC. Awesome. In the US. Hard to believe.

yup that is the reason y had a sat box ordered from the States

The univision guys are awesome.

I rather listen to Spanish

They did that for the last World Cup, too. And pretty sure 2002.

Anyways, I heard Univision is going HD, if so, I know what I'll be watching come June.

Manichhhheeeeeeeeeeeee.

LMAO...that is the best player reference by an anouncer...

siMAO...SAbrosssaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'll stick to the Spanish guys then...can't really take the Brazilian commentators.

Awesome clip, love those spanish commentators.

Just hated them when they did Portugal-Spain match in the Euro 2004, and the "La Madre Patria" crap. They just keep saying it time, and time again.

Univision didnt do Euro 04 I think.

Your right Univision doesn't carry Euro, but I had it on PPV through Dish, in either English or Spanish.

The Spanish commentators were the same Univision dudes.
