Stunned really. Tried to find the game to find out it is tucked away in adc2 of all channels. I can only suggest once again that what the public want is not as powerful as the major TVs channel sports sponsor.

Seems weird that the ABC is showing it - none of the bigger network felt like forking out $$ for it?

are you sure it's live on LFC TV? It wasn't om their schedule last I looked. Maybe it is in the UK, they do normally show friendlies live but again. last I looked there was no mention of it on their website. OK - I followed your link and now take that back, obviously they've negotiated this at the very last minute.
