Hi everyone. Comcast is apparently negotiating to broadcast Gol TV, a Latin American soccer channel that is carrying La Liga and Serie A games. Denver/Boulder is not currently one of the regions that is planning to pick it up. Anyone interested in getting more soccer on Comcast here in Colorado should email or call Comcast and suggest they add Gol TV. Here is the email mnylen posted in the La Liga forums. Quango "This is an email I just got from Gol TV: Dear Soccer Fan, We are glad to inform you that GolTV has recently started negotiations with Comcast cable company.

GolTV on the Dish This past weekend I noticed that GolTV is on Dish now as part of the Top 150 package. I've only seen it advertised as part of the Spanish packages, but it's there and it's in English. Channel 407 I think. On Sunday, I saw a 2 hour show called Just Goals (or something like that). They claimed to have "every goal" from across the globe from the past week. I don't know how close they came to delivering that, but I did see the big leagues (EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Mexico, etc.) as well as a bunch of small stuff (Guatemala, some African country I forgot, etc.). I didn't get to watch it all so I don't know if they included MLS or not. I'll Tivo it and watch it again later...(beautiful thing, that Tivo).
I've got GolTV on Dish but only recently started watching it because I did not even know I had it for a while. Gol TV also has some of the most wild-assed informercials you will find. There is one for a massive CD compilation of what I think is Mexican music that features women dancing in negligees for most of the half hour. It appears to have a goofy plot line that I don't understand since it is in Spanish, but honestly you don't need that. It is a work of art. I watch FSW mostly with my limited viewing time but GOL has more soccer, it seems. A lot of the feeds have a grainy appearance with dubbed English language anouncers giving it a quality similar to what I imagine Soviet TV was like. I haven't looked for the Seria A and La Liga games yet. I did see part of a Seria A game once and half the field was in a deep shadow so you would constantly see players disappear and reappear. But there are a lot of games on so if you need a fix and a classico for the Ecuadorian league will do, keep Gol on your favorites list.
Hi, I just arrived from Spain and I would like to watch tomorrow Barcelona-Athletic the Bilbao. I am a Bilbao supporter, and Barcelona is my second team. The place where I am going to live in Denver (LoDo)is being painted, and I am at a hotel. I think they pass it on goal tv. Do you know where can I watch it? any sport bar? are you watching it? Thanks
Welcome to Denver! The best place in town to watch soccer is the British Bulldog. I know a group of us will be down there early to watch the Carling Cup final, and I'm sure there will be plenty of fans there in the afternoon to help you cheer on your teams.
May I join any of you? I just said I am from spain and just arrive. I do not know anybody and is not healthy to have a beer alone.... Barcelona-Ath Bilbao is at 1pm Denver time on GolTV I am lost. You are talking to watch the final at 8am Denver time? Is British Bulldog open at that time? I think they open at 11am In Lodo they show Barcelona- Bilbao at 1pm at Denver Sports Column near the Coors satdium http://www.denversportscolumn.com/
Above post was for Carling Cup Final-Chelsea v Arsenal 7:30 British Bulldog. ASIER.... Barca V Bilbao is on GOl TV..Ask Victoria nice ...she'll put in on for you.
Yes, I know. But I was hoping to join you also for the carling cup final, but if I am not wrong, that is 8am Denver Time. I was also looking for someone interested on having some beers later to watch Barcelona-Bilbao at 1pm
Hmmm well I'll be there by 7:30 a.m. just in case. Just spoke with Victoria at the Bulldog...Schedule says 7:30 a.m. C'mon down..best place for football in town. I may stick around for Barca match.There may also be a little footy in the park later on.
my guess is that the broadcast begins at 7:30, but kick off is at 8am. It'd be REALLY nice if they opened a bit early so that everyone can get their pint and have a seat before the game starts.
Looking forward myself to sampling the British Bulldog when I arrive in the area. Should be landing at Denver Intl on April 2nd!
Do you have your tickets for April 7th Rapids opener? We're looking forward to meeting you. Be sure to look for the Class VI and Centennial Firm supporter group tailgate before the game! Asier, we would love to have you come to the Rapids games as well as join us at the tailgate too! Welcome to Denver. Quango, thanks for the Gol TV heads up! Tina
Looks like I'll be able to make it. I would be up for a kick around if the weather gets nice. See you at 8. Guinness for breakfast, mmmmm.
Tina (Love Football), I do not have tickets, I just arrived 3 days ago. What is the best way to get them in your area of the stadium? Tailgate sounds great.
asier, I will be wearing a grey FIFA WC 2006 sweatshirt, and my husband will have on a Rooney jersey. We usually sit at the high top tables by the walk-in cooler. I still look pretty much like I do in my profile photo, but with a different hairstyle. How will we recognize you?
Call/email Marcus (MMyrick@pepsicenter.com): 303-727-3541 Tell him you want Class VI...and that Bonji sent you.
