Bundesliga 2026-27 Season Thread - Fandango sucks
Posted by drockw1 on 8/28/26 at 2:43 pm
We're a little more than halfway through the season opener and Stuttgart just tied it in Munich, 1-1...
ESPN+, which has done a phenomenal job the last couple years with the Bundesliga, didn't renew and the Bundesliga took 10M less to partner with Fandango, which has a TV app but no way to select the match.
It's 2026, and I'm using the tablet app stream to mirror the stream on the TV. We had it better on GolTV in standard def...(conveniently, Telemundo is another way to watch the Bundesliga if English isn't your thing)
Anyway, here's to a healthy, competitive Bundesliga campaign with hopefully easier access in the future. Prost! :cheers:
ETA: Olise 2-1 after a nice assist from Kimmich

I always had the best luck with Duracell ProCells...far better than the standard copper tops IMO

You've been super helpful for our Chicago trips over the years, so hoping to return the favor on your trip down here :cheers:
Lots of excellent recs already...mine would be to do take an early evening for what I call the "Freret double": Pigeon & Whale does excellent oysters (think Murder Points, etc) on HH from 4-6pm daily. Grab cocktails with a mixed dozen and chargrilled mussels there...then walk across the street to The Husky for a beef wellington or another main course.
I'd recommend bar seats at both spots, and a polo/shorts will surely suffice. Afterward, Cure is great for cocktails and is two blocks down...
Magazine St. is sort of the well-known long drag with lots of restaurants/bars...Freret has a bit of a West Randolph feel albeit on perhaps a smaller scale...hope y'all have a great trip!

I saw Commitments when I was much younger, even remember renting it at the video store as a kid…I surely didn’t fully appreciate Glen but his performance at Shane MacGowan’s funeral deserves a mention
Rest easy…
Did this trip back in 2021…flew into Louisville Wednesday, Bourbon trail Thursday, Keeneland fall opening day Friday and the game Saturday.
Lexington Marriott City Center is a great spot to stay if available. As mentioned, book distillery tours now…if you want a ride to a few different ones, Mint Julep Tours did a great job for us. Actually took us to the same 3 spots as Snoop (Turkey, Woodford & Castle & Key) but I can also recommend Makers, Buffalo Trace & Heaven Hill.
It’s a great trip…y’all will have a blast :cheers:

Went last year and it was excellent…gonna try to make it back for it this year as well

Crocker and Higginbotham are a joy to listen to.
I thought Fletcher/Hargreaves were doing this match, but regardless...one thing that Fox got right this time, it was the talent in the booth.
--Strong/StuBear
--Darke/Landon
--Fletcher/Hargreaves
--Derek Rae/Robert Green
--Crocker/Higginbotham
--Jacqui Oatley/Warren Barton
I've also liked the studio crews & on-field pre/post talent...it's a big event and they paid for big talent.

Everything was not clean, police said.
