Soccer fans blast Fubo’s ‘amateur’ production of Euro 24 – Awful Announcing

Awful Announcing
Saturday was a big day for soccer fans as UEFA Euro 24 featured three matches, but for many U.S. fans, the talk quickly turned ugly — and not for anything that happened on the field.
Fubo broadcast the day’s first match, Hungary vs. Switzerland at 9 a.m. ET, and fans immediately called out the broadcast for not having a score bug.
Even locally-produced high school volleyball games get a scorebug, yet a major international top flight soccer tournament does not on Fubo. Good job, good effort. pic.twitter.com/Ee8VZVmnO2

For those of us who are lucky enough to have Fubo, it’s even funnier that they don’t have a score/clock graphic.
Legit have no idea how much time is left in the game without looking at my phone.
FOX could care less about this tournament, and its such a shame. pic.twitter.com/Klzosla5ep

It’s bad enough that Fox isn’t showing the Swiss game; why does Fubo not even have the score and time on the screen?!? A total amateur hour during a major tournament! #EURo2024 @FOXSports

That “amateur hour” production frustrated fans, many of whom were already upset that Fox Sports had contracted five Euro 24 games out to Fubo. A Fubo Pro fee, starting at $79 per month, is required to watch the matches, a steep price for fans interested in watching only the five matches on the streaming service.
Also, fans criticized Fox for promoting it would cover “every game” of the tournament.
So @FOXSoccer gets exclusive rights to the Euros, except for, you know, the multiple games exclusively on Fubo.
Get to @fuboTV and there’s no scoreboard or time on screen. What an absolute shit show. #EURo2024

. @FOXSports and @FOXSoccer claiming to have “every game” of the Euros but failing to mention that certain matches require a $79/month Fubo subscription is not only an outright lie, but sleazy as hell. I hate to say it but I’m actually starting to miss cable. #EURo2024 #HUNSUI

I don’t care if it’s the worst game of the euros, I want to watch it and won’t be scammed by Fubo into paying for 2 months subscription only to get 5 crap matches all Euro. Thieves

FOX locking some of the euros games behind a paywall in fubo is just pure evil. I remember when ESPN had the rights to the tournament. They showed every game and it was easy to access. FOX, i hate you so much and I have lost all respect for you.

Fubo can hopefully at least get the score bug issue corrected before its next match.
