CL Qualifiers 07-08

[danielmak]

As far as I can tell, none of the US soccer channels will be showing CL qualifiers this week. Am I correct? If not, please update us about the who, which channel, and when. I know there are EPL games on FSC and Setanta but I would think Setanta would at least show something on delay. And it looks like Milan TV is no longer on FSC, which means one less opportunity now and one less game when the competition is in full swing. Thanks. Take care.

Depends on which Setanta schedule you believe.

Last week, Setanta put up new webpage schedules.....but they did not work correctly, both navigation-wise and no programming was being listed. In the meantime, if you had a link to the old schedule, it was not only available but was being updated, as three CL Qualfiers were added to the schedule:

Wed- 5:00 pm Sparta Prague v. Arsenal
Thur- 8:00 pm Rangers v. Red Star
Fri- 7:30 pm Spartak Moscow v. Celtic

That link showing these games is still active:

Now Setanta got their new pages working this weekend, sort of...if you look for a schedule on a day next week, it still says no programs...but the pages that do have schedule information have it as it was before the additions of the CL games.

Since they're obviously not extracting the schedules from the same database table, I'm hopeful that the new webpages are using an extract of the old data to test (since the dates shown are so limited), and that the schedule with the CL matches are valid, but this is speculation on my part. Tomorrow, we should hopefully have a better idea of the correct schedule.

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask - I'm located in the US and was wondering if anyone knows of a place to watch the Seville CL qualifying game this coming Wednesday, whether that be on tv or via an online stream. Thanks.

Toulouse-Liverpool on GOL TV live...Wednesday 10:30 am ET

This is great news about Gol since I am a Liverpool fan and it looks like the other 3 games HDSports highlighted are still on the schedule (they are showing up on DirecTV's on-screen guide). I sent an email to Setanta asking about this but I have not received a reply. Take care.

...and Setanta's "new format" schedule now shows the three CL games as well.

Toulouse-Liverpool on GOL TV live...Wednesday 10:30 am ET

Not according to my DirecTv schedule. Where'd you hear/see that?

Not according to my DirecTv schedule. Where'd you hear/see that?

It's listed on the GolTV website.

It didn't show up on DirecTV's guide (or if it did, it showed up very late). I just used the manual record function with my DVR and everything worked fine. Take care.

For leg 2 of the 3rd qualifying round, GOLTV is showing 2 matches:

Tues, August 28- 2:00 pm ET Liverpoll v. Toulouse
Wed, August 29- 2:30 pm ET Dynamo Zagreb v. Werder Bremen

Nothing is listed as of yet from Setanta...

[HDSports]

Setanta has added delayed CL qualifier broadcasts to their schedule:

Thursday, August 30-
1:00 pm Crvena Zvedza v. Rangers

Friday, August 31-
11:!5 am FC Copenhagen v. Benfica

All these games will be shown after the 12 noon Thursday live broadcast of the UEFA Champions League Group Stage Draw, so you will already know who advanced.
