not to rain on anyone's parade, but FSW's website has this morning removed the references to the Spanish games on their schedule for the weekend. I wonder if Betis TV problems alluded to earlier in this thread have derailed plans to show La Liga this weekend.

I just checked their weekly schedule on Acrobat and they still list the matches. We'll see what happens.

If they don't end up showing highlights at halftime check out the sports shows on Telemundo and Univision. Titulares Telemundo, Republica Deportiva, etc. often show Liga highlights.

La Liga
Bundesliga
EPL
Champion's League
UEFA Cup
MLS (LA-SJ)
I am kind of bumbed out. The USL playoff game was going to be repeated this Saturday at 11:00 PM. Now the Betis v. Madrid match is being shown in that time slot. Now I'm going to miss the oh so wonderful Rochester v. Montreal match! I'm so devastated.

Just checked and the Saturday game has disappeared, but the Sunday match survived.

Tse confirmed this fact in today's e-mail update. Betis caused the problem.

You are incorrect Betis did not cause the problem. AudioVisual the cable conglomorate had not paid Betis for the television rights to last years games per the contract. Betis's president Manuel Ruiz de Lopera refused to allow television camera access to the stadium until he was paid the monies owed to him.
As of today AudioVisual has paid him the remaining monies and the game WILL be televised in Spain. I imagine that the FSW will be scrambling today and maybe tomorrow to get their end squared away to offer the retransmission of the game here for US viewers.
You can't blame Lopera after seeing what has happened to the Bundesliga and now Greek league regarding bankrupt media who can no longer pay the teams for the television rights to their games.

Man, am I stoked. For my money, the best league in the world.
Unfortunately, I base that on results from European competitions and not actually seeing the league. :) Until now.
I see La Primera as a sort of a mix of Serie A and EPL. Hard tackling and technical proficiency "a la italiana" mixed with the kind of excitement found in England. Head and shoulders more attractive than Serie A, creative players generally find more space there to do their thing. The spectacle, or beautiful play, is as appreciated there as the result. That's how Cúper and van Gaal could win and still be bitterly criticized by the mob.
