Hellooo, just thought I'd post probably the quickest and simplest way to streaming live football on the internet. First of all I recommend you have a fairly fast connection, I'd recommend 1mb at least (although poorer quality streams may work on slower connections, not 100% sure).
All you need really is this website:
www.asiaplate.com/members.php#today
Scroll down to the p2p programs update and download PP Live (probably the best one) and I'd also get PP Stream as a backup incase there was something up with PP Live, or none of the channels work on it etc.
Once you've downloaded PP Live, all you need to do is look at the top of that website, choose the match you desire to watch, and hit the play button next to it (first row is for PP Live, second PP Stream and third SopCast). The first time it may ask for confimation to load the link into PP Live etc., it says something like 'Launch in Application' or something (in Firefox anyway), hit that button and check the 'remember this option' thingy so next time it just loads straight into PP Live etc. PP Live will now open up in the bottom right tray icon, right click and select play view and it should come up with 'buffer', 'peers' etc. It works a bit like loading up a torrent really, if the buffer etc. starts going up the channel is connecting, and downloading enough information to start the live stream, just wait a short while and it will automatically launch the stream into windows media player. That's all there is to it! A lot of channels have foreign commentary and titles, but for free you can't argue! Watched Bolton thrash City on it yesterday no probs If the stream is a bit crappy first try selecting a different number from the right hand side of media player (1,2,3,4,5 up to about a 1000 usually) not sure what this is but it seems to make a difference. If the stream is still crap, try an alternative from the channel list in the website above again, or try a channel link to PP Stream.
Hope this helps,Not tried it myself yet but if it works let me know.
