(Footy) US/Colombia tonight, no TV?

SirFozzie · 03-09-2005, 08:43 AM

Instead, Fox Soccer Channel is giving us two CONCACAF Champions cup games with MLS teams.

Grrrrrr.. 10:30 PM start. No Beasley, no Donovan (Champions League qualifiers)

Desnudo · 03-09-2005, 12:53 PM

I think it's all MLS players in the lineup.

SirFozzie · 03-09-2005, 12:54 PM

ESPN has first rights to WCQ, some of the friendlies and stuff has been on Fox (Sports World/Soccer Channel)

DC's playing someone, and the Kansas City Wizards are playing someone. Forget who offhand

GoldenEagle · 03-09-2005, 12:56 PM

who are the CONCAF teams playing? I think ESPN owns the exclusive rights to the men's national team.

SirFozzie · 03-09-2005, 12:57 PM

Oh.. something I just found out, as pertains to World Cup Qualifying.

Due to fans actions (throwing stuff at Mexican players) after a previous Costa Rica game, FIFA has decreed that the Tico's next WCQ home game (against Panama) will be played in front of an Empty stadium. IE, no Fans allowed.

Damn, I thought it was ballsy that they did it in the Champions League.. but a World Cup Qualifier empty stadium game?

DAYUM.

Hopefully Panama can steal a point or three.

Maybe for home games. I think the local federation controls rights for away games, which is why it can sometimes be difficult to find away qualifiers on TV.

Why do you want Panama to steal points???

SirFozzie · 03-09-2005, 08:49 PM

Costa Rica is more of a threat then Panama. So at least a draw would deny them two points, a full loss 3 points.

SirFozzie · 03-09-2005, 09:21 PM

I hope to see Chad Marshall do well. He could really help us out in the next World Cup if he develops into a quality defender.

RPI-Fan · 03-09-2005, 09:30 PM

I love the lineup Bruce put out there.

SirFozzie · 03-09-2005, 09:41 PM

USA has the first chance, 3rd minute, as a Mathis corner slides into the box, well taken but grabbed.

SirFozzie · 03-09-2005, 09:42 PM

Busch punches a corner out safely. Guess he's better then Timmah at that

weinstein7 · 03-09-2005, 10:01 PM

Who's John Busch? MLS I assume?

Mr. Wednesday · 03-10-2005, 12:13 AM

Plays for the Crew.

ISiddiqui · 03-10-2005, 12:29 AM
