Big matches today: Gamba Osaka vs Melbourne Victory (7:00p Japan Local time) and Shanghai SIPG vs Suwon Bluewings (7:00 p Shanghai time). Also Pohang Steelers vs Urawa Red Diamonds (7:30p Korea time). Will also be interesting to see how Guangzhou Evergrande fare away in Sydney today.
Have you seen bundesliga in STAR other than one odd match each week?? they bought it from NEO who used to telecast at least 4 matches each week... They can spoil a product this way rather than having the risk of letting their competitor gain pace with any product.. even though at present not many watch AFC competitions.
There should be a rule (like in cricket DD has a right to telecast India matches even if does not hold rights) whereby AFC participating clubs can make alternate telecast arrangements to get out of the IMGR-Star-Aiff tyranny.
AIFF has rarely been this shit under any previous president
AFC and ACL clubs are showing their games. It is just that they are not on Star network. Star Sports business has been bifurcated by News Corporation into many Fox Sports channels across Asia.
I am talking about indian clubs representing the country in Asia.....Pp & co's patriotism has been much too evident to have any hope of them pushing for a telecast of MB/BFC games. Only hope is if clubs can take some initiative and government backs them up
