Was wondering if someone can help out. I was trying to see if there are any radio stations from Mexico that stream America's games to internet. It seems impossible to find ANY team that has any radio coverage. I don't know if I'm not looking hard enough or they just don't have radio coverage. As a comparison, I'm currently listening to River Plate - Velez Sarsfied on http://www.uolsinectis.com.ar/lared/home.htm They have extensive futbol coverage. I could have listened to this game on about 5 or 6 different radio stations via internet. Is there any equivalent in Mexico that anybody knows of ??? Here in the states, we used to have Radio Unica and still have Futbol de Primera. I used to listen to Estadio W from Mexico, which didn't seem too bad actually, but they may have stopped streaming to the internet as I haven't been able to get a signal for a long time. Are there any other shows that anybody listens to or thinks that are good that come from Mexico ??? I was also wondering what people thought about Mexican Futbol magazines. Being a futbol junkie, I buy magazines from all over the world ( Guerin Sportivo, France Football, El Grafico, 4-4-2, etc ...) Does anybody else read these ??? How would you compare them ??? The Mexican magazines I read are Tiro de Esquina and I think there's one other I look at once in a while. They seem to be very amateurish and childish without any analysis whatsover. Does anyone remember Balon ???? Are there any others that you would recommend ??? How would you rate Mexican magazines to others that are out there ??? It seems like the best coverage of futbol comes from the dailies ( Ovaciones, La Aficion, and Esto ...) Although they give us the news as to what has happened, I was wondering again if anyone had thoughts about how in depth the analysis is. I think the best columnist of Mexican futbol is the guy that writes on ESPNdeportes.com. Are there any columnists that you think are really good or recommend reading ??? I didn't ask about television because that is readily available and easy to see. My questions had more to do with other forms of media for those of us that do not live in Mexico and find much more difficult to find .... Gracias y Aguante EL AMERICA !!!!
Tiro de Esquina is still being published ? I haven't seen an issue in years. A good weekly is Senor Gol. Esto is great if you can get it. There was a grocery store here that would actually get it daily but they charged something like $5. That gets expensive very quickly. As far as your radio question, I recal a satellite radio station that had Atlas' games on Saturday nights. Don't know if they're still out there.
I dont think there is a best one. It just depends on what you are looking for. I look for stats first and foremost. Then i like to read game analysis from different points of views. Then i look for personal interviews, history tidbits, etc. I dont know if they still do, but the FMF use to come out with a magazine. I think they should do it and take it more serious. I would do a piece on every club and pics and interviews of their facilities, projects, etc Here in Houston, I just found out that they sell America, Cruz Azul, Pumas' official magazine. I also found that they sell Señor futbol. I hope they start to sell Esto & Ovaciones.
I don´t know if they get the magazine in the US, but the best magazine here is Soccermania. It is made by Televisa but it has the best coverage of all the teams, the stats and interviews. Some people must read it in the US since somebody here posted an interview of Cuathemoc Blanco,that was published in some US newspaper but it was a plagiarism of the interview of Soccermania.
Yahoo! Sports has a surprising library of games. You can find the Copa Libertadores matches on pretty good quality video, not to mention MLS, Serie A, and Argentinian games. They also have Futbol de Primera videos, FOX Gol Honduras, and El Show de La Copa Libertadores. Wish they had FMF, but eh. http://sports.yahoo.com/s/soccerpass -danny.
Soccermania is available in Southern California, at the very least. There are a number of places in downtown LA and East LA where I have found it, as well as at least a couple of places in Santa Ana.
