Sorry to post here with this but I need the most soccer knowledgeable people in Boston to help. I am looking for a place that will be showing the Juventus/Real game tomorrow. I really want to see it and I have 3 angry Italians on my back to find a place that is showing it. I constantly hype US soccer and the US soccer fans to them and then ESPN doesn't carry the game of the year (for them). So help me out guys and gals.
Cafe dello Sport on Hanover Street in the North End. If they're showing it I'd recommend it, especially hitting Mike's Pastries down the block post-match for a celebratory Canoli ;-) The Magpie
According to FDA's column today in the Globe, ESPN's contract with UEFA stipulates that the non-ESPN televised match of the week may not be shown in the US. I don't think that either Cafe Della Sporta nor Cafe Paradisio showed the Milan derby last week.
I called the Cafe Paradiso last week and they said they weren't showing the game because it wasn't available anywhere.
better question yet, is the game going on at all? Supposedly Ticketmaster is selling tickets. I called 2 weeks ago and they "werent on sale yet" according to a rep. I checked today, and didnt see the event listed anywhere on TM's website... any word?
FYI: We're talking about the Juventus vs. Real Madrid Champions League match taking place today, not the scheduled Juventus vs. Barcelona friendly slated to be held at Gillette Stadium this summer. The Magpie
DOOOHH!! sorry, this games been on my mind and I immediatly assumed you were talking about it since it was the revs forum.... besdides that, anyone have any word?
