Will all of the playoff games be nationally televised this year?
FCD fans in outlying areas might be pleasantly surprised how strong channel 49 Telefutura’s broadcast signal is. I get a perfect picture out here in Wise County.
Ze Bill…. so does Telefutura’s broadcast come in clear enough that you can distinguish one team from the other if the jersey’s are similar?
Denilson signed today with Palmeiras in Brazil, under coach Luxemburgo (ex-Real Madrid)….
They say he is in shape and should be in action next week already
