    i need to ask how maney People have Fox deports in HD I don’t think a lot I say this because it is so hard to watch with black bars god cant fox make the SD one fall screen.
    as for the big game being on Tape that is a joke come on they could use Fox soccer or Fox soccer+ so fans that do want to watch it can do so.

    I know Boca Juniores and Rio da Prata is a big deal in that country's league, but I would rather watch Internacional vs. Onze Caldas. This is the Libertadores after all, not a local league contest.

    What a shame. I was going to watch the game at a fellow Inter fans house. Canceled that cause IT WONT BE ON!

    The stadium will be packed, it MAY be D'Alessandros last game for Inter (Chinese team offering big bucks) but I dont he leaves. And this is Inters chance to win a 3rd Libertadores while Rivals Gremio is stuck at 2 since 1996.

    Inter debuts DAGOBERTO at home (from São Paulo) with Leandro Damião upfront with him.

    Anyone know of Online Links for the game?

    Your best bet is www.justin.tv. Go to the sports channel, pick soccer, and go from there. Alternatively, go to es.justin.tv and do the same thing. Odds are you'll get something - including the very Fox broadcast which we'll only get as a delayed broadcast on Thursday.

    It is not even a local league contest. It is a meaningless preseason exhibition game. Still, it is Boca vs River, and since River is in the B, the summer exhibitions are the only Superclasicos we'll have.

    I picked up Fox Deportes since Inter made it in the Libertadores and noticed that the game apraers surrounded by Black borders ALL THE WAY AROUND the game image. Whats up with that? I have DISH and there is no Fox Deportes HD on Dish. SO is that why Im getting the game as a smaller rectangle with black border all the way around? Its an HD feed on an SD channel?

    Also, I dont know if this happens for every game, but the Peñarol game was being called from a studio (which I have no problem with) and they not only missed the fans "recibimiento" but the crowd noise was VERY low throughout the whole game. That takes away from the fun of watching a game

    I think Fox Deportes is available on HD only in South America, otherwise it would be much more expensive.

    Fox Deportes could easily show this game live. It is being played at 9:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM PT. It is getting pre-empted by a repeat of a UEFA Champions League match between Bayer Leverkusen and Barcelona — a game also being repeated on Fox Soccer Channel an hour earlier that night! Why show it on both? Bad move by Fox.

    Dumb move by Fox, so far all the games featuring Colombian teams haven't been live.

    hoy prefirieron pasar un enlatado repetido de la champions!!

    y cuando podian empezar 80 minutos tarde, pasan una babosada de cuerpo mayor: cronica de un para de tipos que solo gritan y gritan, despues informan.

    Is it just me or is FSE showing more replayed UEFA CL matches instead of live Libertadores matches this season compared to previous seasons? :(

    It sucks, but I guess after Europe moves their clocks to daylight savings time it won't be such an issue.

    Right on and I would that for the repeats of Champs League matches, both Fox Soccer and Fox Soccer Plus have more than enough time slots.

    The only thing we have to hope with the assholes of Fox Deportes is to hope that teams from your own country being pared with mexican clubs at the same club. That way, you will be guaranteed the games live, otherwise you have to pray. I still don't understand why they show delayed champions league games, fox soccer and fox soccer plus should do that.

    That's what I thought. But as I said, I think this problem will fix itself after Europe changes their clock. Currently CL matches kick-off at 1945 GMT, which means the replay on FSE start at 2145 or 2200 GMT. The earliest Copa Libertadores matches kick-off around 2245GMT (or 5:45 pm Eastern).

    So right now there is overlap between the replay and early Libertadores kick-offs, but after the clock change everything in Europe will occur one hour sooner. So we should be okay then. :)

    They have been doing this crap for years now at FoxDeportes.
    And it doesn't make sense, cause Foxsoccer repeats each champions league game 20 times.
