sport-stream.ru
Sport-Stream is a website that offers users live sports coverage, as well as statistics and rankings for various sports. I see this website as a handy addition with access to different sports rankings.
Why should you stream on Sport-Stream?
Sport-Stream allows viewers to watch a wide variety of sporting events, such as football (English Premier League and UEFA Champions League), baseball (MLB and Japanese NPB), basketball (NBA, EuroLeague, and Chinese BBL), and tennis (ATP and WTA). Each of the most popular leagues in these sports is available on Sport-Stream. For example, in football, La Liga and the UEFA Champions League are among the most streamed competitions, while Serie A, Eredivisie, and Bundesliga are also available.
Ranking & Ratings
Sport-Stream provides up-to-date rankings for different sports so you don't have to check them on separate platforms. Some of the important ranking tables you can find on this website include FIFA Rankings, Formula 1 Rankings, and ATP Rankings.
This guide can be helpful for casual viewers who want to learn about a sport they have not seen before. For example, I did not know about Ronnie O'Sullivan or Judd Trump, but after getting the information from this guide, I started following Snooker religiously and fell in love with it.
News Updates
The most impressive aspect of this website after streaming is the news and updates section. You get all the updates in real-time, so you can be off Twitter or Google updates and still find the latest news on this website. Recently, I was waiting for UEFA President's stance on Euro 2020 amid Corona outbreak and luckily I got the update when I was checking this website. Since then, I've bookmarked this website and keep checking it from time to time.
Impressive Search bar
Sport-Stream has a search bar with many options that is impressive. You can search for a team or player, and you will find trending content on both. For example, if you want to read recent news about Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, just type their names and you will get access to all of the information related to them. This includes updates on their injuries, contracts, match details, and other inputs from the stars themselves.
Detailed fixture section
The developers have provided in-depth detail about each fixture. There is a comprehensive table with options such as Sport, Teams involved, Score, League, Timing, Video and Embed Link option. Sometimes, when you are too busy and are not aware of the timings of a particular fixture, this table will help you stay up-to-date with every fixture that has happened or is about to happen in a few days.
Design
I appreciate the Prussian blue color scheme of this website and find it very aesthetically pleasing. The colorful background with different icons is a little clumsy but it's overshadowed by the white overlay which has black text. The main menus are all in Prussian blue color, while the text alternates between black and white based on the background.
Header
In the header section of this website, you will find five main categories - Menu, Football, Hockey, Basketball, and More Sports. When you hover on the menu section, you will find five options - home, news, time zone, advertise with us and copyright holders. If you hover on the football section, you will find six options - World Cup 2018, Champions League, Europa League, Euro 2020, UEFA Nations League and Championships. Similarly, in the Hockey section you will find a drop-down menu that includes Regular Season games and Playoffs games.
Hero Section
The search bar on the left of the hero section on Sport-Stream allows users to browse through different teams, players, and competitions. The list can be sorted by name, date, or score. The live, completed, and upcoming fixtures are also easily accessible with the sort option above.
Body
The body section is divided into two parts: the left section features column-based news and articles, while the right section features fixtures from different sporting events. The list in the right section remains unchanged throughout the day, while the left section is updated every few minutes.
Footer
There is no footer section on Sport-Stream. The only element that you would find at the bottom is a link to a website called liveinternet.ru.
Inner Pages
The layout of this website's inner pages are similar to the homepage's layout. However, instead of the fixture list, you can find details about different competitions. For example, if you want to check the Top teams in FIFA Rankings, you can click on FIFA Ratings and find the details about the same. Towards the left, you have the search bar where you can search for a club or an athlete.
Content
Sport-Stream.ru provides a wealth of information on major sports from around the world. Though the content is in the Russian language, Google does a good job of translating it so you don't have any confusion. From sports-related news to rankings and streaming details, you'll find everything you need on this website.
There is no shortage of content on this website, as it provides in-depth information on sports such as Football, Hockey, Tennis, and Formula 1. Aside from streaming, you can check out stats and news, which is a valuable addition to the website.
Desktop/Mobile experience
My streaming experience on Sport-Stream wasn't great. First, the translation on my desktop took a few seconds. Though navigating and browsing around the website is hassle-free, the streaming page is filled with ads. Additionally, when you reach the streaming page, you get a pop-up suggesting that the Flash Player is blocked. In my experience, whenever I see such a notification or the website asking permission to send notifications, I tend to bounce off right away.
After viewing a few matches on the website, I found that there was no media player to accompany them. As such, I found the experience unsatisfying and departed feeling that I had not received any valuable information as a result. Notwithstanding, given the wealth of news and statistics on offer, I do not hold any resentment towards myself for walking away.
Suggestions I have for Sport-Stream
I don't understand why the developers would list the website as a streaming portal when there is no video player support. I don't know if it had that in the past or if it's just a spammy website. If the developers of Sport-Stream are reading this, try and add multiple source links for each fixture so that we don't get a misleading notification suggesting that Flash player is blocked.
Conclusion
This website is not the best option for streaming live. However, if you want to check out stats and find text updates to be sufficient, you can go ahead and give this streaming site a try.
