ROME (AP) - Italy's traditional season opener, the Supercup, will this year be held in Beijing. The Italian league on Monday signed a deal with the Beijing Football Association to have the match played at the Chinese capital in August. The Supercup pits the previous season's league champion against the winner of the Italian Cup. Last year, AS Roma beat Inter Milan 1-0 to win the trophy. The Gazzetta dello Sport daily reported that Chinese organizers would pay €2.5 million ($3.19 million) to the Italian league as well as all the teams' expenses. The league declined to confirm the report, saying that details, including the date and venue of the match, will be given at a news conference next month. |

It better. The Serie A could do with some serious ka-ching.

If they want their games shown live in England, they should simply lower the price. The IFA get their games shown, England tv channels get the games at a reasonable prices, people in England get Serie A football. Everybody wins. But they want too much, so we don't think it's worth it, coincidently the only game bought by English tv so far this season in the Mlan derby with Beckham and Jose.. because it'd gain more viewers. |

I pay 'literally' 24 pounds/year for a package from al-jazeera for all of Serie A, La Liga, and the UEFA cup - amongst other competitions. Compare that to another broadcaster 'showtime', whom I pay 36 pounds/month just for EPL games (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) As an end-user, Serie A is much cheaper for me than the EPL .. Come to think of it, now I know where all that money is getting drained out !! I better stop watching English football (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |
