Another Soccer Viewing Option in the US: ESPN360.com

If you’re like me and feel that we don’t have enough viewing options in the US, let me offer up a broadband option that I wasn’t aware of till last week: ESPN360.com.

No guarantees for anybody else, but I was able to watch it for free because my service provider, Verizon, apparently has a contract with ESPN, so it’s part of my DSL package. If I were so inclined at this moment, I could go in and watch the US-Mexico game again, or several recent Serie A games. Next week it’s some of the Champions League games, or more Serie A games. And I’m thinking that once MLS season gets underway, we may get the option of re-watching ESPN2 games we have to miss. (Don’t quote me here. I’m not finding independent verification at the moment.) And if you’re an LA Galaxy or Houston Dynamo fan (or a Gamba Osaka or Sydney FC fan, for that matter,) the Pan-Pacific tournament games will be available next week also.

From their website. (And no, we’re not getting paid for the plug. But thanks for the idea.)

– Watch up to 6 games all at the same time
– Select from a menu of live or recently completed games and events
– DVR features that allow for you to pause, rewind, and fast forward games and events
– Control the video selections for each window
– Choose to view in wide or standard size window available in a variety of modes – full screen, compact or mosaic

I’m trying to decide if watching six games at once would be really cool or a road to the lunatic asylum. I’ll get back to you.
