US Soccer’s twitter feed was kind enough this morning to provide a list of pub locations in larger cities that will be showing the match via closed circuit television.
You can view the list HERE.
As of today, there is still (and likely to stay this way) no way for people to view the match in their homes LEGALLY. I have no idea if closed circuit can be picked up by the usual suspects in terms of non-legal means to view such things that are normally used in circumstances like this. Just be aware, the match will not be televised by ESPN, FSC or any of the Spanish-centric channels we’re all used to at this point. We’ll try to keep you updated should circumstances change, and in the meantime, keep checking the US Soccer website for updates on places to view the match.
I have to go to the Sweetwater to watch the match? Oh, cruel fate.
In the future, I think CONCACAF needs to step in and sell the rights as a complete package rather than leaving the negotiating up to the individual FAs. That, or US Soccer needs to take a stand and not sell the rights to games being played here to other countries. This is pretty much bullshit.
I’m lucky because if I want to watch it a bar in Denver is showing it for free (it looks like the Rapids might have paid the fee for it, which is cool) but I don’t know if I’m up for going down there and dealing with the hassle.
You’ve gotta go; what if Conor Casey scores? That’s like a once in a lifetime experience.
How can we get behind our national team when we can’t see them on TV? US Soccer Federation should step in, buy the rights, strike a deal with a network and televise the game. Otherwise I think we all need to be busy doing something else when our National Team is in South Africa.
Sadly, I cannot refute any of this.
I don’t even know if it’ll be available online illegally. Either need some kid in Honduras to stream it or some sympathetic bar owner to do so.
Not even a Spanish-speaking location for it in New Mexico. A kick in the nuts if there ever was one.
