Tired of looking at rubbish blogs promising free live football but filled with nothing but adverts?

Bored with having to look at spam being posted everywhere on free live sports channels?

Is there really such a thing as free live streamed sports?

Well, it really isn't that much of a secret! But looking at all the messages that fill the internet every weekend for the English Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga and more, one would think there was some great secret that only these people know about. It is becoming as ridiculous as all the spam for medicines like Viagra. Well, let me tell you the secret - there isn't one!

If you're lucky you will end up on a website that has done a search and found a few links. If you're unlucky you'll end up on a site with nothing but adverts and potentially some malware to thank you for your visit. Avoid the grief and save yourself some time. You can also read here the reality of trying to watch live internet football.

If you're interested in watching a football or soccer match then there are just a few sites you'll need to bookmark.

Firstly bet365 actually shows some live games. Opening an account is free and you don't need to bet anything, just sit back and enjoy the game.

Then there are the internet TV networks. You've seen those adverts too I suspect - watch thousands of free TV channels for a one-off fee. Don't bother paying the fee as all these sites do is give you a bit of software to check the very same TV networks. Why pay for ignorance when now you know where to go?

So where are these? Here is a short list to get you started.

FreeTube

TVUnetworks

Ustream

OK, that's enough to be getting on with. There are more but then you'll just end up with lots of duplicate channels - if you really want to know just search for them.

On these you will find a mixture of corporate channels, national and local TV channels, as well as the odd internet entrepreneur for whom YouTube is not good enough and they want their own TV station. You will also find lots of minority sports channels and a huge range of other channels.

So, if you want to watch a particular football match, or whatever sport you fancy, just go and search within those internet TV networks. Sometimes, you may end up watching the right game but with a foreign language commentary - oh well, that's free for you! Some channels only transmit at certain times so just read their schedule or do a search close to the game.

If you don't have some kind of braodband connection and you want to watch live sports on the internet then... forget it! Some networks do, however, also have radio channels so you may well be able to listen to the commentary - hopefully in your own language this time! Audio channels take up far less bandwidth than audio-video channels.

If you're really stuck and your internet connection is steam-powered then you can always watch football text commentaries at Yahoo Sports. Sad, I know!

So, don't pay any money to get thousands of free internet TV channels... because they're free! Don't go to any suspect sites unless you know your computer is well protected. Spam works because there are always going to be people who will click them. Now, you don't have to.

Enjoy the games!
