Don't wait for me!
Ooo that is good. We'll just have to clickclose the adverts every 10 seconds.
If you want to watch more than two games per season??

Saves me using Kodi then.
But my moan is that they should have put on free to air a certain amount of CL games featuring English clubs, but didn't.
I would be unhappy if I was paying money for the CL only to find out all can watch for free.

I would assume that it is something that they have been encouraged to do to make sure that it is a free to air service like in previous years.
Pretty sure that I read somewhere that the ratings since moving to BT only have been abysmal. My assumption is based on the fact that the sponsors have a big say in a lot of things and they will have seen their exposure drop this season. With a free to air service those ratings could up and be a selling point for UEFA to use when pitching for future sponsorship.
It's much better to say xmillion watched via a number of devices/methods rather than 200,000 watched on BT and an unknown amount illegally over the net ... please can we have millions of pounds to show your logo

I'm quite liking the Fox Sports 1 coverage of the CL / Europa I can pick up via Kodi, with the unintentially hilarious US commentary.
"Turnover in midfield, now they spring the offside down the flank position!"
God, anythings gotta be better than Michael zzzzz Owen

It was part of the contract as UEFA didn't want their showcase finals watched in the UK by TWENTY FOUR people
It's even worse with the coverage we get on Sportsnet in Canada. They have commentary from Clive Tyldesley, Peter Drury and Andy Townsend

I'm very sorry to hear that.
Its weird actually, sometimes the American coverage I watch has commentary from Martin Tyler and Stuart Robson. I do genuinely prefer the US commentary though, it has a unique charm of its own.
I like the barrage of pretty useless stats US commentators pepper in.
They do LOVE their stats. I often watch baseball games and it's just CONTINUOUS numbers, initialisms, and made-up baseball phrases. They have this very odd unemotional "sports" way of talking too. There's very little time for general chat.

I got this the other day for a match.
Anyone who has watched Soccer AM a few years back will recall they did a skit on this. It is awful but funny.

I am hoping to be pissed in some London pub, utterly unaware of the Champion's League Final, being as it follows the Play Off Final at Wembley.
