Anyone know of a good place to watch the Confederations Cup matches this summer. I, along with most of the others in the RDU area have Time Warner without Galavision and Telefutura. As far as I know there is no way to even pay for the channel with TWC. Although I love the fact that I can get FSW, I can't believe that they only have one Spanish speaking channel on their Standard Digital Package (Univision or Telemundo, I'm not sure which)

So, little help please.

OK what's up, where is all the triangle contingent? I know I'm not the only one looking for TV coverage here!!!!!

Depending on scheduling. I do have Galavision, and might be able to hold watch parties for the US games on Saturday (live) and Monday (night/tape delay).

the Thursday game against Turkey will be going on in the middle of the WUSA All-Star game hoopla, so I won't be able to oblige with that one.

Thanks, do you have a bar or would this be somewhere else? Is there a group of people that get together for the US games? I would love to get involved with that.

If Andy will host one, I'll host one was as well. I have all three of the spanish language channels on my Dish network. It really depends upon the timing of some of the games since I have a 2 year old who must nap/sleep on a regular schedule.

One thing we might try is to find a bar that would be willing to be our "official" hangout for all the games.

Just let me know where to go, and I'll bring the grub/beers/whatever.

Has anyone ever been to the Fox and Hound in MacGregor Park(Cary)? It's an English Pub, that may have ability to show the games. I'll give them a call.

By the way I'm thinking about getting the Dish network, do you like it Jarrett? We have TW Cable, and I think we pay $50 ($100 for cable and hi speed modem). What do you pay for your cable package? Is it easy to set up?

[Groverboy]

Just wondering, did you guys come up with a plan for watching the games somewhere in the Triangle?

We have not been able to find a sports bar that has galavision/telefutura.

PM if interested in hosting or participating in a private viewing party at someone's house.

I watched the U-20 World Championships at the Sports Bar on West Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, which I am pretty sure was on Galavision. Now that the game has been moved to tape delay to Thursday night, they'll more than likely be open (unlike trying to catch the ManU/Arsenal game during the afternoon . . . Grr.).

I have no idea whether or not they get TeleFutura.

That being said, I would probably be more interested in a watch party.

I'll be at the All-Star game on Thursday, and I'm going to head to DC on Saturday - can someone tape USA/Brazil for me - but I can have folks over on Monday for the Cameroon game.
