Copa Libertadores Final on BBC Sat 4th Nov 7.50pm

[Lupo Pazzesco]

Boca Jnrs v Fluminese on BBC3 & Beeb Sports Website.

At the Maracana in Rio! It's definitely worth a watch if Milan v Udinese is as expected.

Cheers Lupo!
I thought BBC3 was closed down. It's probably on the Astra satellite.

[Lupo Pazzesco]

I think BBC3 was brought back to life earlier this year as a terrestrial channel. It's also on their sports website......Use that VPN if need be!

This is like the South American Champions League?

This is like the South American Champions League?

It is yes.

I'm definitely going to watch, I always enjoyed the Libertadores and Argentine games when they were on Channel's 4 and 5 many years ago.

[Dels]

I might give it a go.

Yeah if it's not on the satellite it's probably on the IPTV

Yeah the intercontinental cup or club world cup used to be between these winners and the CL winners back when i liked football.

[Liam]

I definitely preferred watching this to a Champions League game. It's a shame nobody in the UK is covering games throughout the tournament like Channel 4 used to.

There's something more crazy, dramatic and authentic about South American football compared to modern day European football.

[Lupo Pazzesco]

Agreed on that last sentiment, Liam. Old school vibes abound especially the roar when each goal was scored!

Scores a cracker then gets sent off, classic South American football!

[Dels]
