Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

TV listing for USA @ Mexico on Wednesday

Hello Chaps!

Telemundo holds the rights for Mexico's home WC qualifiers and refused to sell their feed to US broadcasters. They decided to screen the game on their little known and even less available English language channel mun2.

Today however, it's been announced that mun2 will air on Time-Warner, Comcast, DirecTV, and the DISH network for the duration of the match.

Call your cable provider to find out what channel it's on in your area. Anyone in the City of Alexandria in Virginia who has Comcast, will find it on Channel #178

Cheers, mate. I was just starting to freak out about this, having noticed this morning that there was no coverage on ESPN or FSC. I'll check that out.

4pm! It'll be just hot enough, high enough, and smoggy enough in the Azteca at that time of day.

I've been following this issue for about a month now. The Post reporter has a blog that I read every day now

and people have just been losing their minds that Telemundo wouldn't sell the broadcast to ESPN or FSC. Like it would really matter if this game was called in Spanish?

If mun2 had a sense of humor, they would get Jimmy Smits and Carlos Mencia to do the play-by-play and the color.

I'd watch that, especially if they had Salma Hayek pitch-side!
