NFL Football (yesterday's night Monday Night Football) on the NFL GamePass and some Hockey (NHL, KHL, SHL...I have more options and I'll take my final decision only when I'm ready to watch, later tonight)...

I didn’t know they offered the NFL GamePass outside the US.

yeah, we've been enjoying it (and we can also enjoy NHL.tv, MLB.tv and NBA League Pass + the International Service for College Sports by ESPN, ESPN Player) for quite some time...

 

and the International version is even better than the US's, as we have all games live and ondemand (condensed 40-min summaries and 7/8 mins highlights included), RedZone every Sunday (a must watch, I'm really addicted...Scott Hanson is one of my favourite hosts in the whole world) and a lot of special features like NFL Films and other NFL productions and so on...

 

it's quite expensive if compared to MLB and NHL, but European fans have a chance to play dirty and buy it behind a vpn at the same prize of other Nations where it's cheaper (personally, I've got it as if I were in India, paying 60% less than the normal European price)...

and the best thing of this trick is that you only need to buy the Pass outside your Country, but then it works regularly without any further trick once you've completed the transaction (the same trick works for the NBA League Pass, meanwhile MLB and NHL have the same price all over the world, so there's no chance to save some money)...

 

unfortunately, we don't have any chance to subscribe other interesting services like CBS Total Access or NBC Gold or use the FoxSports Website, as they all are directly connected with the US cable Tv operators and even a good vpn doesn't make up for that...:facepalm:

You’re not missing anything with NBC Sports Gold (believe me). The big bonus to being in the US is that everything is offered on the Olympic Channel now.

yeah, in fact I'm not that interested in NBC Gold...

 

I'm more than happy with MLB.tv/NHL.tv/NFL GamePass (the NBA is already very well covered by the Italian TV)...

 

my only regret is not to have a full NCAA working app to follow the entire College Football season...

 

I mean, ESPN player offers tons of college sports, but it's only about the ABC/ESPN family games...and of course I'd rather watch some of the SEC on CBS and B1G/PAC-12 on Fox main match-ups, which at the moment are not legally available here in Italy (I can still use the CBS website with a VPN or the basic package of a service like USTVNow for the saturday afternoon games, but I can't follow the primetime matches and it's not the same thing as having them ondemand directly on my tv screen while comfortably lying on the couch, meanwhile FOX programming is just out of reach)...

Yeah in the US we have ESPN+ which pretty much gives us access to every college game. With YouTube, OC, and ESPN+ I can watch pretty much whatever I want.

I go crazy when you guyss speak about watching multiple sports at same time. I can't do more than 1 at a time . Only exception is Multi sport games. 

 

BTW I realize I haven't watched a single football match for full 90 minutes  for 6 years now. Last football match watched full was maybe US vs Canada ,In 2013, Full 120mins of Women's Olympic semi final ,1 year late but I didn't remember the results so it was good to watch one.

I love new sports, but 100% no. Summer sports should not create winter versions just to get onto the Winter Olympic program. There are still multiple actual winter sports and disciplines that have been left off the program. I fear the IOC will add some of these abominations though.

    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?
