Portsmouth v Liverpool on live?

[caaarlo]

Anybody know what's up with the Portsmouth-Liverpool match tomorrow? I thought when I'd checked earlier in the week that it would be live on Setanta Xtra, but now both the Setanta site and SoccerTV.com show it only on delay at 4:30pm eastern, and Setanta's listings and DirecTV's show nothing on Xtra at 6:45am eastern.

Seems odd it would get shifted, but I guess whatever the Aussie Rules game that's on Xtra at 5am must be really important.

I called Setanta; it's not on live, only tape delay in the afternoon.

The other place to look is Fox Sports (South America), but in this case it looks as if they're showing the Everton - Man United match live at 7.00a.

The Aussie Rules match is a semifinal. I still never thought they would bump a Premier league match for this, but I don't know what the viewership is for Aussie Rules. The only place showing the match live is Setanta Broadband on their Broadband 2 channel.

FSC is showing Tottenham v Arsenal, which kicks off 45 minutes later. Could it be that they don't want three live games on at the same time?

Don't think so because on a usual Saturday there are three 10:00 am EST matches on at the same time on FSC, Setanta Sports/Broadband and Setanta Xtra/Broadband.

No...most Saturdays at 10 am (ET), you get three simultaneous live games if you get Setanta Xtra. It was bumped from Xtra for the Aussie Rules match. Not that it's any consolation, but I'm pretty confident that a Premier League game on the regular Setanta Sports USA would not be bumped in a similar situation.

I guess Aussie Rules is a big draw for Setanta... the replay just becomes a pain, I'll have to run between the living room and the bedroom to watch Liverpool and Texas football simultaneously :)
