EURO 2008 in Singapore

Watching EURO 2008 in Singapore will cost you your sleep. As all the games start in the evening in Europe, it means that you have to stay up till 5 in the morning to watch the games.
I only watched two games so far and thats not only because the games are so late.
The rights for EURO 2008 went to STARHUB in Singapore and if you don't have the sports channels in your cable TV package you have to pay for every game you want to see.
Yes, it's all about the money again!
Offcourse, the late schedule of the games will not attract to many advertisers so they will have to get their money in some ways.
Luckily there is still the Malaysian channels.
TV3 shows a game live every two days what is a bit bizarre. They must have some kind of agreement with some other channels.
For now I decided that my sleep is more important than football, but as soon as it comes to the quarter finals I don't think that my Football loving genes can resist the excitement.
