This seemed awesome. The advantage of being here is that liveblogging from a pub is impossible. ON behalf of all the Marseille fans in the US and who just couldn’t watch it, Thanks Daryl.

According to this it's because it's illegal for football teams to advertise alcohol in France.

Comcast offers TV5Monde, the French channel, for $10 a month, and they have one Ligue 1 game a week every Saturday. Other than that completely SOL except for the pirates.

Well at least you’re an EPL fan, Daryl. I signed up for my year starting in February, and then lo and behold discovered that they’re not doing Ligue 1 coverage this season.

I’m getting fearful that we’ve gone into our defensive shell with only Babel and Torres sneaking up pass the midfield line. Does it look like we’re even trying to possess and mount a decent attack, or are we just dumping in long balls and hoping for our speed up front to prevail?

Does anyone here use http://www.myp2p.eu to stream games? I can usually find one that works, but I haven’t had any luck today. I need to just cave and buy the pass online so I don’t run into this snafu.

Marseille v Liverpool game is also on Setanta USA, but yes no commentary. Espn Deportes is much better. Barça v Sporting.
