Hello,
This might seem like a trivial topic, but it's important for those who care... such as me!
I'll try to keep this brief...
Ireland are playing Sweden this evening in Euro 2016, kicking off at 6pm Spanish time. In years gone by, catching tournament matches on the way has never been an issue, but for this competition, Spanish tv only bought the rights to some matches... with today's Ireland match not on that list.
Investigating the situation while walking to the coast over the weekend, it turns out that bars and individuals can access all matches by registering on UEFA.com and if they have Apple TV etc etc. It all sounds very awkward and I'm willing to assume most bars won't bother with it, as all Spain matches will be on free tv.
The big question from me for those of you with local knowledge or who have already figured this out, where in Santiago am I likely to get to see the Ireland match? I'm sure some places will be showing all the matches, but without some steer on where to go, it feels like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I'm even going to ask at the tourist office shortly. It might rank as one of the more unusual questions they've been asked over the years!
Thanks in advance for any tips!
