Damn I was looking for this on every channel, I'm guessing it was on ESPN3?

Yeah. I was pissed as soon as I saw what channel it'd be on. I have access, but you need to know the email and password to an email address I haven't used in 3-4 years.

ESPN3

But I watched on Galavision, too.

 

[CHU]

Why couldn't this game have been on the new NBC Sports Network? Or did ESPN specifically get the rights to this game to put on their bull[Mark May] web app that works when it wants to?

They (NBC) get four U.S. Men's games a year and this is probably not one of the four.

Don't know why, but every time I hear Eric Wynalda speak in his "TV" voice, it makes me mad and reminds me of Ron Burgundy.

get that fixed then, because ESPN3/watchespn/espnnetworks.com is awesome as long as you utilize the mute feature or just mute your PC.

Ugh. That would require me to call TW Customer Service to fetch my username/password. TW Customer Service ranks up there among the most annoying.

No kidding.

ESPN3 - Xbox, Laptop, Smartphone, iPad... work computer
NBC Sports Network - TV (and only ones that have a digital receiver in my case)

Bump for today's friendly vs. Italy. Starts in under a half hour on several of the ESPNs

 

[jlb1705]

Diggin' the new kit. I liked the old one too though with the diagonal stripe.

Nervous moments for the US so far. I guess that's to be expected.

They're going with a 4-2-3-1:

--------------------Howard--------------------

Cherundolo----Goodson----Bocanegra----Johnson

-----------Bradley---------------Edu-----------

Williams-------------Dempsey---------------Shea

--------------------Altidore--------------------

 

[TheStoicPaisano]

Are any of these Black-German call ups any good? Chandler has a bright future, but are Boyd/Williams/Johnson anything but trying to strike gold in friendlies?

It seems like a recent phenomenon.

 

[jlb1705]

Damn, Edu won the ball in a good position, played a great ball to Shea but Shea's first touch let him down.

 

[jlb1705]

Italy are doing what everybody does to the US, attacking the left back relentlessly. Johnson seems to be doing a decent job so far, with Shea tracking back to help.

 

[jlb1705]

Good job holding the ball up by Altidore - earns a free kick from 20 yards. Up to that point he had been playing small, which is nothing new for him.
