    Since Time Warner sucks and doesn't have ESPN Deportes on their lineup, I end up missing out on a lot of good matches (see: PSV vs. Milan today). Are there any sports bars that regularly show live soccer matches, preferably in the NW Houston area?

    Yeah, I have it and watch it on a regular basis, but they don't carry any La Liga matches :( Also, Sunday's Liverpool-Arsenal match is PPV only.

    Thanks for the replies so far, guys

    Places to watch soccer? My guess would be anywhere in the Montrose area of town.

    Us regular TV non-cable dudes watch TELEFUTURA, TELEMUNDO, UNIVISION, TV AZTECA, and the new channel 34 (I think?) for all MEXICAN league games, and some times, the tape-delayed Champions' league matches on TELEMUNDO.

    Most of the U.S. and Mexico games during qualifiers, and the USMNT friendlies, will be on Telemundo.

    Back when I was in Houston, we watched soccer in the Richmond Arms sometimes.

    My 4 year old nephew plays out in Friendswood... You'll have to bring your own orange slices and Capri Sun though.

    Just downloaded Coolstreaming and I'm really surprised at the clarity of the picture.

    Sam, do you know where I can find what each channel will be broadcasting and when?

    www.football4less.com has daily schedules.

    Be careful, it takes time for coolstreaming to work - at first it seems like it's broken but then the stream picks up about 10-15 minutes in.

    Ouch, tough couple of games for Dutch fans. PSV loses in the 90th minute in a Champions League semi, then AZ loses after it looked like the had Sporting beat in the final minute of extra time in a UEFA Cup semi.
