I'm watching on ESPN Deportes. They or Fox Deportes often show Spain's internationals live, be it qualifiers or friendlies. ESPN-D wiil also show Tuesday's friendly v France (as will ESPN2).
Thanks- I pulled the info from Live Soccer TV and now it shows ESPN Deportes but when I posted yesterday that channel was not listed.
Unselfish of Silva to not try getting a touch on that trickling shot allowing Vitolo to get credit for the second goal. Halftime in Group G Spain 2-0 Israel Italy 1-0 Albania Liechtenstein 0-1 FYR Macedonia
Interesting that on COPE they said the game is no where near sold out (besides the 2400 tickets that the RFEF did not sell due to security requirements) and the fans have been relatively quiet. I know that here in San Jose the US-Honduras WC Qualifier for CONCACAF is tonight and that game has not yet sold out either, however I don't think it is tied to lack of interest like in Gijon but due to the ticket prices. The tix prices were between $86 up to $500 face value. I have seen the USMNT play several times but no way in hell I was going to fork over $86 plus the usual handling charges to see a WC qualifier.
Final Spain 4-1 Israel This result extends Spain's FIFA record unbeaten run in World Cup qualifying matches to 58 matches (won 45, drawn 13). The streak dates back to 1994 World Cup qualifiers. (West) Germany held the former record at 36 matches (1936-1985). ---. 31/03/1993 Denmark 1-0 Spain 01. 28/04/1993 Spain 3-1 Northern Ireland 02. 02/06/1993 Lithuania 0-2 Spain 03. 22/09/1993 Albania 1-5 Spain 04. 13/10/1993 Republic of Ireland 1-3 Spain 05. 17/11/1993 Spain 1-0 Denmark 06. 04/09/1996 Faroe Islands 2-6 Spain 07. 09/10/1996 Czech Republic 0-0 Spain 08. 13/11/1996 Spain 4-1 Slovakia 09. 14/12/1996 Spain 2-0 Yugoslavia 10. 18/12/1996 Malta 0-3 Spain 11. 12/02/1997 Spain 4-0 Malta 12. 30/04/1997 Yugoslavia 1-1 Spain 13. 08/06/1997 Spain 1-0 Czech Republic 14. 24/09/1997 Slovakia 1-2 Spain 15. 11/10/1997 Spain 3-1 Faroe Islands 16. 02/09/2000 Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-2 Spain 17. 07/10/2000 Spain 2-0 Israel 18. 11/10/2000 Austria 1-1 Spain 19. 24/03/2001 Spain 5-0 Liechtenstein 20. 02/06/2001 Spain 4-1 Bosnia-Herzegovina 21. 06/06/2001 Israel 1-1 Spain 22. 01/09/2001 Spain 4-0 Austria 23. 05/09/2001 Liechtenstein 0-2 Spain 24. 08/09/2004 Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-1 Spain 25. 09/10/2004 Spain 2-0 Belgium 26. 13/10/2004 Lithuania 0-0 Spain 27. 09/02/2005 Spain 5-0 San Marino 28. 30/03/2005 Serbia & Montenegro 0-0 Spain 29. 04/06/2005 Spain 1-0 Lithuania 30. 08/06/2005 Spain 1-1 Bosnia-Herzegovina 31. 07/09/2005 Spain 1-1 Serbia & Montenegro 32. 08/10/2005 Belgium 0-2 Spain 33. 13/10/2005 San Marino 0-6 Spain 34. 12/11/2005 Spain 5-1 Slovakia 35. 16/11/2005 Slovakia 1-1 Spain 36. 06/09/2008 Spain 1-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina 37. 10/09/2008 Spain 4-0 Armenia 38. 11/10/2008 Estonia 0-3 Spain 39. 15/10/2008 Belgium 1-2 Spain 40. 28/03/2009 Spain 1-0 Turkey 41. 01/04/2009 Turkey 1-2 Spain 42. 05/09/2009 Spain 5-0 Belgium 43. 09/09/2009 Spain 3-0 Estonia 44. 10/10/2009 Armenia 1-2 Spain 45. 14/10/2009 Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-5 Spain 46. 11/09/2012 Georgia 0-1 Spain 47. 12/10/2012 Belarus 0-4 Spain 48. 16/10/2012 Spain 1-1 France 49. 22/03/2013 Spain 1-1 Finland 50. 26/03/2013 France 0-1 Spain 51. 06/09/2013 Finland 0-2 Spain 52. 11/10/2013 Spain 2-1 Belarus 53. 15/10/2013 Spain 2-0 Georgia 54. 05/09/2016 Spain 8-0 Liechtenstein 55. 06/10/2016 Italy 1-1 Spain 56. 09/10/2016 Albania 0-2 Spain 57. 12/11/2016 Spain 4-0 FYR Macedonia 58. 24/03/2017 Spain 4-1 Israel Next: 11/06/2017 - FYR Macedonia v Spain

I did not even watch the game on tv, so I can understand people would not go to the stadium either. There's not really much hype in a game like this because you expect the win. I would rather watch the France game despite that being a friendly vs this qualifier. The real decider should be the home game against Italy. If either team loses points along the way, it would be pretty bad.
