My thinking was since they play Thursday that Thursday/Monday is the same as Friday/Tuesday but your right.....they definitely aren't going to accommodate CONCACAF and US based people. it would be nice tho lol. I guess I should be happy the first game each cycle is played on different days.
Does anyone else feel anxious about all 8 games tonight airing simultaneously on beIN connect and beIN channels, and whether they will be able to handle the volume? In addition, I have fubotv which also crashed during the last two matchdays. I am preparing myself for a huge screwup tonight and honestly would be shocked if everything goes smoothly. Sorry to be such a pessimist.
If you are using Roku to get the beIN channels, I highly recommend downloading the beINSport App for Roku: https://channelstore.roku.com/details/143975/bein-sports-connect-us You can sign in using your FuboTV credentials so you have a 2nd source for all the channels if Fubo does what Fubo always does...

I do have that, but during the last US qualifier, that didn't work either. It was one of those days where both beIN connect and fubotv didn't work at the same time. At least there is NBC Universo if the worst happens.
I didn't try it but I wonder if Fubo goes down, it negates the authentication beIN receives from Fubo. Hmmm...Hope we DON'T find out tonight! SA www.soccertvblog.com
Besides lighting up all of their streaming channels tonight, beIN are offering the CONMEBOL and CONCACAF matches on PPV via Youtube ($7.99 per match). Ecuador vs Argentina and the USA match are NOT included. I'll actually give them credit for making it available for those that truly cannot get these matches any other way.

As predicted, fubo tv crashed at 7:50. Bein connect on roku not working at 7:50 when attempting to sign. The game on connect ios app that I started at 7:30 working fine.
The beIN studio is in funeral mode. Maybe Cobi, Bocanegra and Spector are in shock but they couldn't be any less articulate and lacking in insight. This after the beIN app and fubo channel failed. What a clusterf*** all around.
BeIN connect didn’t work for me when I tried to authenticate with Fubo credentials, but no problem at all when I authenticated with DirecTV credentials.
Interesting news: IMG outbid MP&Silva to take the Serie A, Coppa, and Supercoppa Italia international rights through 2021. Surely, this will affect where calcio goes next year. http://www.football-italia.net/111131/americans-win-serie-rights
Just straight up could not get SSO authentication to work on beinconnect last night. Was planning on watching via NBC/Telemundo stream and that's what I stuck with.
I would laugh at every Italian fan around here who complained about beIN if that happened. I would imagine turner would only show Juve on TruTV maybe a handful of weekends. Then it would probably be Juve, Roma, Milan, Inter online on their paywall site. That's it.
yeah as much as I dislike BeIN least they haven't went the pay route like NBC and FOX have and ESPN will eventually do in the future.
I think BeIN will go that route soon too. Have you seen Qatar’s economy recently? They are running out of cash quickly.
Actually, for me, with beIN's current portfolio, if they were to add an on demand option, it would be easier to justify paying for subscription than for any other service. But yeah, I expect them to go pay route to, but not before the replay capability is added.
Considering that I pay $15 a month for a "sports pack" that has beIN and a few hunting channels only, yeah, I'd rather pay $10 a month or something for a subscription to just them rather than $15 for a tv station that will be lucky to show 1 or 2 games a week live.
