ESPN rather talk about NBA and NFL games coming in other days rather than give a few seconds for tonight’s game. Italy vs Switzerland WC qualifier coming up in a few minutes…yesterday, ESPN+ had many games to watch.
I believe this young team has the ability to win one of the next two world cups. This tough qualification is doing them well as it is teaching them that nothing is ever easy in CONCACAF, yet for some reason the anti-American American crowd thinks qualification should always be a breeze. There was more reporting of the MNT in the 2010 and 2014 campaigns than there is today.
Anything proAmerican is now not good news to report in today’s sports media, but if an overrated WR who hasn’t done anything of worth lately moves to Los Angeles, because no one wanted to claim him off of waivers, well, we cannot talk about that enough. Not to mention, he can’t play till Monday night when tonight, Friday, we have a barn burner of a game that has national pride on the line. ESPN seems to want to celebrate Mexico as much as it wants to celebrate the USAMNT.

This game will come down to the crowd. Will we have home field advantage? No other country or sports team faces the problem the USAMNT has with playing home games and experiencing hostility as if they are the away team. It is an embarrassment and something this country has yet to take responsibility for.

ussoccer.com is saying Yedlin, not scally, is starting.
Had some rain earlier, but looks clear now. Chilly, but not overly cold.

Yep and anti-American ESPN soccer reporters making controversy over Steffen starting over Turner in goal. Pro USA crowd booing Mexico as they come on the field. Same typical Mexico lineup with Herrera, Lozano, Ochoa, etc.

Typical ESPN fashion. Has other games going on so no live feed to the game on regular tv. Should be held on ABC, but not in this country. Only the USA does not give a crap about it’s national team.

They moved the college football game and started their coverage at 8:09 pm. When we get to the point that you do not need a cable subscription to watch these games? They should all be shown on national network tv…game kicks off. Go USA!
