not sure they will be able to keep their stream unlocked for those games :mumble: :fingers:

 

DAZN is very good at whining against their events being broadcasted for free elsewhere :bones:

 

in any case, I'm well covered with my Japanese IPTV (which I'm using for the NPB playoffs)

 

p.s. earlier Today, I made a nice discover...with a free dazn account and my vpn (express vpn), I can have access to all the free content of the international versions of dazn, too :yikes: (excluded those in the European Union, because of some stupid rules which lead to see always your local version in all the EU States :facepalm:)

 

so, I can watch all the free content from the Canadian and/or Japanese dazn, for instance :lol:

meanwhile, in :KOR the KIA Tigers are leading 3-1 the Korean Series against the Samsung Lions and therefore they're just 1 win away from the championship rings

 

now they have 3 consecutive chances to clinch the title, always at home, starting from Monday @ 6.30 p.m. local time (10.30 a.m. CET)

Qualification for the 2026 World Baseball Classic has been announced. There'll be 2 qualification Pools and 4 teams in each with the top 2 teams in each pool advancing to the 2026 WBC. :AUS:CZE:CAN:CUB:DOM:GBR:ISR:ITA:JPN:MEX:NED:KOR:PAN:PUR:USA:VEN

 

As a fan of international baseball, words cannot describe how disappointed I am. We are coming off arguably the greatest international baseball tournament in history in 2023 and we are cutting the number of teams in the qualification round from 12 to 8 teams :facepalm:. How do you expect to grow baseball like that? Teams like :ARG Argentina and :PAK Pakistan have been on the rise but now they won't have the chance to qualify.

 

 

Taipei Qualification Pool (Feb. 21-25, 2025)

:NCA Nicaragua

:RSA South Africa

:ESP Spain

:TWN Taiwan

    • Fingers crossed the women’s curling gold medal match also undergoes changes, very preferably an hour earlier so it doesn’t conflict with the men’s hockey gold medal match    Seriously, what were they thinking 
    • And yet another version is out . This time with some more noticeable changes.   Ice Hockey: Women's semifinals moved from the Rho Arena to the Santa Giulia Arena Women's gold medal game moved up to a 19:10 start time (was previous 20:10)   Speed Skating: Most of the events have had their session cut by somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes. Start times remain the same   Figure Skating: Looks like the order of events in team event is now: Ice Dance -> Pairs -> Women. Women were previously listed first.   Alpine Skiing: Downhill portion of the team combined cut by 45 minutes 1st Run of the Giant Slalom and Slalom events cut by 30 minutes   Ski Mountaineering: Sprint heats extended by 8 minutes. Finals session extended by 13 minutes   Ski Jumping: All sessions shortened by 5 to 15 minutes

    • Well... I'm late, as always, but unfortunately I couldn't follow live and I've just finished catching up with the thread.    Congratulations to our winner @Hipooo and to @Belle and @Erigert on their medals.    Well done to our host @Cinnamon Bun, who put up a huge effort managing the contest.   Thank you to everyone who voted for our song and helped us achieve this 5th place. I saw we were very close to a podium finish, but this is still a great result.   Congratulations to @Makedonas on the very successful song choice.   I'll now share my ballot.     1st   12 pts   Romania  2nd   11 pts   Bulgaria  3rd   10 pts   Sweden  4th   9 pts   Mexico  5th   8 pts   Brazil  6th   7 pts   Indonesia  7th   6 pts   China  8th   5 pts   France  9th   4 pts   Denmark  10th   3 pts   Spain  11th   2 pts   Italy  12th   1 pts   Albania    Res1   Ireland  Res2   India  Res3   Hungary   I'm looking forward to seeing you all in the next contest!
    • Both side of BRICS money , bye bye dollar        Very expensive   
    • More concerning anti-dog discrimination: Babygirl (R-WV) has been banned from the Senate.   https://www.axios.com/2024/11/12/babydog-jim-justice-senate-floor
    • Kristi Noem has been nominated as Secretary of Homeland Security.   As someone who pretends to be a dog on the Internet I am scared.
