Hi guys. I'm not a frequent visitor to this board. I mostly follow MLS. But I was born in Italy, I have family there that I visit every year, and I cheer for the Azzuri (as well as the USMNT). Every year I try to get into Serie A soccer but I can never stay interested in it. How do you guys follow it? How do you stay interested in it? I live in Long Island, NY and have directTV. I think the only way i can follow SerieA is on RAI Sunday mornings. Am I missing any other channels or days that show calcio? I think the other issue is that I really can't seem to root for a Serie A team. I don't really know who to root for. I'm from Naples so I just want to see Napoli make it into Serie A again... but those days may very well be long gone. I'm going to try and follow the champions league this year and hopefully see some games (where would I see those BTW, Fox Sports World only?) Maybe if I see an Italian team do really well and play some attractive soccer I'll start cheering for them.
Try the internet coverage on http://www.soccerage.com They also have animated goal replays of EVERY Serie A goal.
www.raisport.rai.it has all of the goal clips from Serie A as well. RAI Intl/Italia is the only place you are going to see Serie A this year. Champions League is on ESPN2.
if you follow Italian soccer, you must follow Jamar Beasley. http://www.puteolana.net/newsite/index2.htm
Hey I didn't know that's where he was playing Is RAI International an Italian station 24/7? Or is it like the RAI Italia station that I get Sunday mornings where it's Italian from like 10am-1pm and then it switches to Korean broadcasting, and then Indian, etc... And does anyone know if it's available for Direct TV? I can look into this myself, but if anyone knows the answer off the top of there heads that would be great! BTW, thanks for the info on Soccerage.com. I'm at work now and I want to try and follow the Inter-Lyon game that should start in an hour or two.
Yes, RAI International is a 24/7 Italian station currently available by satellite from Dish Netork (not DirecTV). I believe it's also available on a handful of digital cable systems, but I don't know which one. RAI Italia is an over-the-air network that carries a subset of RAI International programming only a few hours per day. RAI International shows two Serie A and one Serie B game (Napoli, this week) each weekend, plus all of Italy's home games (and some away ones), Coppa Italia games, and some UEFA Cup games. They also carry Intertoto and Champions League qualifiers. There are also daily sports shows and extensive highlights and analysis shows each weekend. All in Italian, of course!
Play the big soccer Serie A fantasy league. Its loosing more members than a religious cult after the leader took the posion liquid first.
its the thing were all playing (supposedly) i know is only a prediction legue i got me words mixed up(silly me as usual) sorry for any incoveniances
If you know Italian you can follow a lot of Calcio on line. Visit our website http://www.socceraudio.com/ Click Italy on the page top. Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma, Lazio and Perugia radio broadcasts are streamed. In addition RAI Radio One covers almost all matches whenever they take place, with a round robin treatment when several matches are played at the sam time. They also cover all national team matches and most UEFA Cup and Champion's League matches involving Italy teams. Unfortunately their stream is of very inconsistent quality, usually sounding metallic and having a lot of rebuffering, but sometimes it works well. (We suspect Parma and Juventus also stream matches, they have in the past. If anyone knows how to access any feeds we don't list, let us know and we'll certainly add them)
