    To be fair Man U probably get's the highest ratings on Fox Sports on average no matter who they play.

    I have to say facebook live's website sucks for me.
    But streaming it to the Chromecast has been a better experience. A few hiccups here and there (I had to restart the video once but it is not that bad.)
    The video quality aesthetically is not as good as other Chromecast streams from apps or websites but hey, at least I can watch it on my television.

    And cord cutters might love it because you don't need a cable/satellite subscription.

    And then they wonder how Bundesliga ratings continue to suck. They are doing a good job in promoting the teams. Facebook [emoji23]

    Kind of interesting: MUFC-CSKA didn't do very well two years ago in group stage. And was beaten by a good Bayern fixture:

    TV RATINGS: WCQ, MLS, EPL, Friendlies, GOLD Cup, ETC. PART III

    Could be. I certainly get the 'Premier League first' argument. But wonder if that still needs to be the case with such attractive RM, Barca, PSG, Bayern and Juve sides.

    FOX probably thinks they're breaking new ground here with something hip and innovative, meanwhile Facebook is so 10 years ago and basically just for old people today. sigh

    Fox Soccer Plus showed the ManU game at 5pm, god forbid they air another game not shown on tv before.

    Qarabag vs. Atletico Madrid on Wednesday at 12:00 P.M. will be on Fox Soccer Plus and Fox Deportes. At that time, Fox Sports 1 is showing Colin Cowherd. Fox Sports 2 is showing the U-17 World Cup until 12:30 P.M. (it will end later if it needs extra time), Bundesliga highlights, and UEFA Champions League Magazine.

    On Wednesday at 2:45 P.M., none of Manchester United, Bayern Munich, or Juventus will be on basic channels. Benfica vs. Manchester United will be on Fox Deportes with its only delayed showing on Fox Soccer Plus. Bayern Munich vs. Celtic will be on Fox Soccer Plus and delayed on Fox Sports 2 at 11:00 P.M. Juventus vs. Sporting Lisbon will not be on live. It will be delayed Thursday morning at 3:00 A.M. on Fox Soccer Plus and 8:30 A.M. on Fox Sports 2. @Dante will be mad (on Friday I'm going near Binghamton where you are). The latter two games will be on ESPN3, but Benfica vs. Manchester United requires FoxSoccerMatchPass. Fox Sports 1 has their schedule to be determined. If Houston wins the next two games to sweep the Yankees, Fox Sports 1 can show a Champions League on Wednesday. Because Bayern Munich vs. Celtic will be on Fox Soccer Plus, there will be Multimatch 90 on Tuesday but not Wednesday.

    So the Juve game will be on ESPN3? If so i’m ok with that.

    As for Binghamton, enjoy your stay. There’s a small brewery having a grand opening Saturday night, you could enjoy that.

    Can't find a listing but I bet that's the Facebook match for the day (also on Fox Soccer Match Pass). So it won't be on ESPN3.

    Should be noted, no Champs League on FS1 Wednesday because FOX is keeping the channel clear for baseball playoff pre-game before first pitch which is just after 5pm ET.

    ESPN3 has Juventus listed. As I posted, FS1 could add a Champions League game on Wednesday if Houston wins today and tomorrow to sweep the Yankees.

    The Facebook games have aired on delay on Fox Deportes. The same is happening this week.

    If it wasn't for MLB Fox Soccer Plus would continue to be $15 per month on DTV for multimatch 90, which is ridiculous. I know that some people like this programming and I can see why it would be attractive but that's the kind of programming that needs to be on the streaming services. FS+ at $15 per month needs to feature full matches given how little HD is shown on that channel.

    Think about it, ESPN uses ESPN3 for tactical cams, not the TV channels. Multimatch 90 is the same kind of deal.

    The games start at 3:45 P.M. this week because the time difference is one hour less.

    Tuesday October 31:
    Manchester United vs. Benfica on FS1
    AS Roma vs. Chelsea on FS2
    Celtic vs. Bayern Munich on Fox regional sports networks
    Olympiacos vs. Barcelona on Fox Deportes
    Paris Saint-Germain vs. Anderlecht on ESPN Deportes
    The other games are Sporting CP (Lisbon) vs. Juventus, Atletico Madrid vs. Qarabag, and Basel vs. CSKA Moscow. ESPN3 online has all of them scheduled.

    Wedensday November 1:
    Besiktas vs. AS Monaco on FS2 at 12:50 P.M.
    Tottenham vs. Real Madrid on FS1 and ESPN Deportes
    Napoli vs. Manchester City on FS2
    Liverpool vs. NK Maribor on Fox regional sports networks
    Porto vs. Red Bull Leipzig on Fox Deportes
    The other games are Sevilla vs. Spartak Moscow, Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Feyenoord, and Borussia Dortmund vs. APOEL Nicosia. ESPN3 online has all of them scheduled.

    Fox Soccer Match Pass has all the games that are not on FS1 or FS2, but you don't need that because you can watch the games on ESPN3 for free if you pay for ESPN TV channels.

    I guess they are contractually obligated to have at least one Liverpool match on Facebook. They can't keep on giving them the same teams or teams people don't care about.
    As for Bayern, their match is conflicting against Juve-Barca, ManU, and PSG-Celtic so that makes sense too.

    I thought Bayern would be shown over PSG-Celtic.

    I think the Neymar effect has changed things a bit.

    It must be a slow matchday with Apoel-Real Madrid being the top pick.

    There are two games at 12:00 P.M. and six games at 2:45 P.M. In addition to the games on the tweet, the games are AS Monaco vs. Red Bull Leipzig and Napoli vs. Shakhtar Donetsk. Borussia Dortmund vs. Tottenham and Sevilla vs. Liverpool are the two of those six game between clubs in the top four leagues. In terms of having the most even betting odds, AS Monaco vs. Red Bull Leipzig is first and Sevilla vs. Liverpool is second. Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham, Sevilla, and Liverpool are all fourth or worse in their domestic leagues.
