  • How long before NWSL matches are available to =?UTF-8?B?d2F0Y2g/?=

    From Mark@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 11 13:16:21 2024
    How long do I have to wait till the USian women's league matches are
    available to watch via the NWSL web-site?

    I tried to watch Gotham v Portland Thorns today, which was played last
    night, and they didn't seem to have any of the quarter-finals avaiable
    to watch. What was really annoying was that they just had no information
    about it at all, they didn't actually say 'not available yet' or
    anything, so I looked all over the place to find a link to the match,
    and inevitably saw the result of the match before I've had a chance to
    watch the match!

    Anyone know whether it was a good match or not?

    The answer to this question (and any other question about where and when
    to watch matches) is always "it depends where you live."

    TV and streaming rights are extremely fragmented, and what may be
    available in one country (or even within different areas of the same
    country) is not necessarily available elsewhere.

    Yeah, not great marketing by the NWSL. They really should make
    highlights available soon after the match is over.

    Based on the highlights, it was a pretty exciting affair.

    Don't tell me they have blackouts in soccer as well ?

    Buttman and Daly prefer small regions for NHL broadcasting as it means
    more $ for the owners. FIFA are you watching ? This is surely the
    blueprint for every sport that wants to make some bucks.
