Question for Footie Fans

[Pedro~UK]

Is there anywhere in Disney or Orlando area that shows European footie games live? Do any of the TV channels cover European games?

Check before you go but I believe The Cricketer's Arms at the Mercado centre on I-Drive caters for English / European soccer fans by showing televised matches.

check it out at www.themercado.com

They certainly showed the European semi finals last year as well - I saw United draw with Bayer last May. At least there was beer...

The Wednesday night games tend to get shown on ESPN2, and you can check out the schedules nearer the time here

Peter,

The Cricketers is yer best bet for Sky coverage. When we were there last week(ish) they had all Sky games and ITV2 games scheduled - most with a cover charge ($5-10) dependin on the coverage.

Champions League is shown on ESPN2. We saw Man Utd beat Deportivo while we were docked at Castaway Cay - Disney's paradise island in the Bahamas!! It certainly ranked as the nicest place we've ever seen our team win!

Liverpool fan here, making our 9th trip this coming May.

I believe there is a place on I-Drive called 'Front Row' that show all the Live games.
It is a massive Sports Bar, never been in but heard about it.

As other people have said, 'The Cricketers' is British owned so they tend to have all the 'SKY' games there.

Thanks to all. Looks like the Cricketers is favourite with a few other options as well.
