Watch live sports action online through ESPN Player

Watching sports in Malaysia will never be the same again with the launch of ESPN Player, which is announced 2 days ago by ESPN STAR Sports, Asia’s biggest sports content provider.

ESPN STAR Sports’ launch of ESPN Player to revolutionise sports viewing in Malaysia. Sport fans to enjoy stellar line-up of world-class sports live anytime, anywhere on the new online multi-sport service.



Now, you can watch live sports action online through ESPN Player. Like what I did on the launching day itself, Live streaming EPL match in between Manchester United vs Liverpool.

ESPN Player is now available on www.astro.com.my/stadiumastro



ESPN Player is an online site that you can access via logging – in with your ASTRO account number and then stream on your respective broadband to watch the sports games available in its library.

Do note the following Terms And Condition:

• The library/archive of available games is dependent on ESPN.
• If you do not have an ASTRO account, you can’t use this service. And no, you can’t pay to only access the ESPN Player. Even though if you would afford to pay for it.
• If you have an ASTRO account but you do not subscribe to Sports Channel, you can’t use this service either.
• The ESPN Player is currently available in Malaysia & Singapore, with plans in the works to bring this service to more countries in the future.
• Once you have signed up, you can use the same account details for ASTRO BPlayer too. Or if you already signed-up for ASTRO bPlayer, then use the same account details to log-in. Which is being a Maxis Subscriber.

So basically, you have to be an ASTRO + ESPN sports package subscriber , then you can enjoy accessing the ESPN Player at no extra cost. It's like a flexible access of watching sports on ESPN Player through online. At times when we don't have the time to watch it LIVE sports on Astro, we can actually get to watch the reply/recaps on ESPN Player to re-live the experience time and time again at their convenience.

But before I Proceed, Director of ESPN Player, Mr. Nigel Harper was at the launch yesterday & gave a live demonstration in addition to providing some insights into the rising trend in online sports viewing.

It's been pass 62 matches already and The World Cup is soon coming to an end. What do you think of the World Cup this year you ask? It was not as exiting when David Beckham was still around as an England die heart fan. It was 8 years ago at South Korea. I was watching football already since then. :(

Oh ya by the way, check out the music video for FIFA World Cup 2010.

This was from Shakira 'Waka waka' is a nice song indeed!

Not to forget the PEPSI ads. 'Oh Africa' by Akon.

Not to forget this as well. Joachim Low the Germany coach in action!

Lets focus back to football. Oh wait there's another one from Nike football write the future. hehe.


Damn nice right? Awesome video.

Hooray! It's down to the 2 best countries in the world fighting for the trophy. The finals is between #NED and #ESP. By the way, before that. Did you manage to watch the match between #GER vs #ESP early this morning 2.30am? Was shocked that Spain beaten the Germans wei. We all should eat Sotong by now. Actually I don't get what are those sotongs, squids, octopus gotta do with Germans? Someone pls tell me! I'm quite laid back.

For those who really bet their money/property/themselves on Germany last night, im so sorry to hear that Germany lost. I got this from fmylife.com saying "@fmylife: Today, I lost my car in a bet that Germany would crush Spain in the World Cup. FML" HAHA. Luckily I did not bet for the whole season this Fifa World Cup.
