Euro 2008: How To Watch It LIVE On The Web

Michael Learmonth | June 13, 2008 1:06 PM

delpieroitaly.jpgWant to watch the world's top soccer powers battle it out in Euro 2008? It's never been easier if you've got access to cable TV: ESPN and ABC are showing all the games live, and there are plenty of replays and highlights.

Want to watch live at work? A tougher problem if you're a drone stuck in a TV-less office. Italy vs. Romania is going on now and Netherlands vs. France starts at 2:30 ET.

Update: New links for the Germany vs Spain FINAL.

What to do? First option: ESPN 360. It's free and high quality, but good luck logging on. Due to the vagaries of ESPN's cable agreements it's only available in 28 million U.S. homes. European viewers can buy a package of live games at the Euro 2008 Web site.

But why do that when you can watch for free? Pilfered streams of European TV are available at Myp2p.com and Livetv.ru, with links to dozens of mostly PC-only P2P sites. Got a Mac? Justin.TV user "tvalerta" is streaming a live feed of ESPN Desportes, or try "sportsnetworkonline" for the English version. We found a few other Mac-compatible streams at channelsurfing.net.

Another option: ripped streams at Pirate Bay.

Want to watch on a super-tiny screen? Okey-doke: Qualcomm's (QCOM) MediaFLO launched a station called EURO which is carrying 21 games on select Verizon Wireless and AT&T (T) phones, if you pay their $15/month service fee.

Have a better solution? Let us know in comments.

Or just come to For Your Imagination and ask for Paul or Gino. We have had most of the games on. :)

Personally I am a big fan of Zattoo. Though it isn't available in the states, only most of Western Europe.

Best option after 4 years watching soccer online: Sopcast. Needs to be installed, but has a ton of channels that show soccer in pretty much any language.
NHKC said:
It works!

Download SopCast, VLC Player, and go to MyP2P.eu--open SopCast, click for the soccer games, opt for YES network and you can watch France vs. Netherlands on YES in the Netherlands right now!

I did not know YES was in NY and also Netherlands, that is nice to know.

Picture is pretty decent.

This is FRESH. What better for a Friday :)

Myp2p.com is the best of the lot. Try any of the Europort links for the game in english. You can watch on both PC and Mac (for Mac you'll need to install Flip4Mac for free - http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv.htm). Here is the URL for the Holland vs. France game which is live now: http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv.htm.

Wow. That flip4mac solution is tremendous! Bad for, um, getting anything done, though.

Soccer is played with your feet. Not your HAND like in the picture shown. Thats handball, another sport.

@Pro tip
No, it`s not handball, it`s soccer. The guy - I gues he is Alessandro Del Piero
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Del_Piero
from the Italian national team - throws the ball in from out of bounds. It has to be done with both hands.
Also, the ball size is typical soccer, not handball (which uses a smaller size).

Great work here. Well done. Pro tip: it's called a throw-in lol. Joking. I think you're right.
Kevin (URL) said:
Work from home is definitely the best option. :)

BTW, it would be nice if most sites or publishers stop using images of the not-so-champions-like Italian players by default and opt for some colourful Dutch ones instead. *wink* *wink* :p

This is the perfect scenario to invest on a Slingbox. An ex co-worker had one, but has been really hard for us since he moved companies. Not good for productivity though.

There's a free, legal way to watch ALL MATCHES

www.euro2008.rai.it

It's the italian national tv's web site! It's all in italian

But just click on the left of the screen on " La Diretta" and that's it!

You need Microsoft Silverlight plug-in to stream live match or Windows media player!!!

[ ps: Silverlight 1 - 0 Flash ]

I use Sopcast, TVU or TVAnts to watch sports online. All free downloadable applications. Often the feeds can be glitchy or don't work but a remedy is at hand - a listing of available feeds at http://myp2p.eu/index.php solves the problem, if one doesn't work, just move to the next.

Go Netherlands!
