Boulahrouz and Van Basten agreed we might as well be looking at a Premier League game between number 16 and 17
I watch the laliga every week. And the UCL midweeks. I'm obsessed with Spanish football and avoid the English league.
I did not quite understand just how bad these two were. I saw utd v athletic club and they looked so much better. But their individual quality is a bottom half team for sure.
It's next to impossible to follow foreign leagues in the Netherlands if you want proper service.
Serie A they will do about 80% of the matches, and with godawful commentary.
La Liga you'll catch the top half of the table teams and teams with Dutch players like Girona.
Portuguese competition you'll get Sporting and Benfica if you're lucky and nothing else is on.
Bundesliga and Premier League rights are owned by Viaplay which is beyond a horrible company and their commentary is next level bad.
Piracy is just too much of a hassle for these leagues. Riddled with ads, websites with malicious content, constant connection interrupts...
I've taken to just following the Dutch league.
totalsportek.at plus adbock on firefox.
Never seen an ad. Better streaming than the official source. Gxr is the official broadcaster here and its terrible.
Ive used this for very long. Many seasons.
Having said that the Dutch league is fun. I followed it very closely from 2018-2021. To the point that I was watching jong ajax and fell in love with gravenberch
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out sometime.
My issue isn't as much with the coverage, it's more about that broadcast rights are exclusive so if you don't like something about it, you're SOL.
Yeah we can't do anything about coverage. Only access.
