Is the U.S. game today televised? I can't find it anywhere.


It's on BEIN, I get it on Comcast (#192) not in HD though. I think all of the road games are on BEIN and the home games on ESPN.

Doesn't look like it's carried on Verizon. D'oh.

Klinnsman continues to baffle me with his selections. When will he learn that 3 D mids is NOT going to create chances. We desprately need some wide players on the team as well... That being said, I'm not shocked by this result.

For all the hype on Chandler he was shockingly bad today. I would have gone for the experienced Bocanegra over Omar Gonzales too..



.... :(

The state of US Soccer is very poor

The 3 qualifying spots outside of Mexico, who will be a lock, are totally up for grabs in my opinion. I don't think we are any more likely to qualify than say, Jamaica or Costa Rica. This team sucks from the coach down.....

I read Klinnsman the other day talking about potential WC campsites in Brazil and I'm thinking to myself, are we really that sure this team is even going to qualify?

I don't think the players like playing for Kilnnsman. Both Altidore and Donovan have beef with the guy....

At least with Bradley we had set pieces, counter attacking and hustle to lean on. This team has no identity whatsoever.

Jamaica just went down and drew Mexico 0-0 at Azteca. Mexican fans were booing their team during most of the second half....

The Hex could be pretty interesting and unpredictable this time around...

and they were unlucky, Jamaica had a great chance on a rebound that the guy should have buried and he just panicked and hit it strait to the keeper.

OTL had a story today about match-fixing led by a Singaporean cartel, primarily taking place in Latin America. Is it weird that this makes soccer way more interesting for me?

I wouldnt be too pessimistic about the US Team. As a german I feel remembered to the time when Klinsmann was our coach. Before the World Cup 2006 the public was not very optimistic either. Our defense was weak and it often seemed as if Klinsmann was not knowing what he was doing. But then we had a very strong team at the World Cup.

Although I have to admit that we didnt have to qualify in 2006 and that it is possible that our success was because of Joachim Löw`s tactical know-how.

Anyway I hope you will qualify for 2014!

I cant see Klinsmann, coaching as he has coached the US team thus far, getting anywhere in a European qualifying campaign.

RVP with two back heel attempts on goal that were just ridiculous today. Both ended up being saved but his touches in the box have just been absolute class this season.

As for Celtic, you must have really enjoyed that win against Barca in the Champions League. The Scottish Premiere League however, is a joke, so its hard for me to pay too close attention to them.


You've been sucked into the SKY/ESPN english premiership hype it seems.....you can only play who's in front of you. and Celtic are a match for any side..and nothing better than watching them beating so called giants! :thumbsup:
next up Juve!



I was pulling for Celtic but they are over matched. Snoop Lion must be devastated.

Gus Johnson is calling the Real Madrid-Man U game today, that should be fun.

Time for us to get rid of the yid stuff I think. We all know we only mean Tottenham fan/employee but some of these mainlanders seem to think we're giving their racism some sort of seal of approval :shake:

Yeah it seems like Tott supporters can't go anywhere in Europe without getting attacked these days.
