wish the finances were better, it's here and I cannot go

Looking forward to the game. Checked last night to make sure I get Universal Sports, and was very happy to see that I do. Hope the US doesn't hit a snag, because I'd really like to see how the team can do in the Olympics. 2008 left a sour taste in my mouth. That was a missed opportunity.

You can stream it on-line at Universal Sports...

One of the favorites already to win the gold in London....

Sorry to hear that....

FYI.....

Of note: Defender Josh Gatt was recalled by his injury-weakened Norwegian club, Molde. Hertha Berlin defender Alfredo Morales was not released, and U.S. Coach Caleb Porter had no hope of gaining a release for striker Jozy Altidore, a first-team regular for Dutch club AZ Alkmaar. (The tournament doesn’t fall during a FIFA fixture window.)
Adu is the captain, Kitchen the vice-captain.

“This group is united and ready for the challenge,” Porter said.

This is the same channel as the Women's Qualifying back in January (Full Womens' World Cup team). I called DirecTV and they graciously gave me a 3 month trial for half price. So, we have a few days left on our trial period and am looking forward to the matches.

With the late start, we'll need to hit the DVR for the kids.

How are we playing guys? Unable to watch the game cause I'm back at college now. Would appreciate any updates

They are having the better run of play from what I have seen so far....

[4evrHusker]

32nd minute in, still 1-0 USA

[4evrHusker]

Cuba is down a man from a red card that they just showed.

[4evrHusker]

Nice set play, bad execution on the strike from the USA

[4evrHusker]

The US is applying steady pressure on the back line of Cuba, should break though for another goal if they can get another shot on goal..

[4evrHusker]

Goal USA from a free kick. 2-0 in the 38th minute, Shea to Agudelo, header past the keeper into the net.

[4evrHusker]

Corona scores again, 3-0 US off of a nifty one touch goal within the 18 yard box that finds the corner. 42nd minute.
