Ack! So ESPN does a 30-minute preview special (cool) … but I can’t find the game itself on TV. I am up in the Pacific Northwest, with some not-so-soccery friends who don’t have Fox Soccer Channel or Setanta … and the cable here doesn’t carry Telemundo, let alone Telemundo 2. WTF!?
(And some Americans wanna stop the influx of Mexicans into this country? I don’t get it!)
Anyhow, I have found a live stream online in two places — both en Espanol however. Let me know if there’s a place I can find it in English.
Currently watching one of the biggest games in my (short) soccer life here:

And I also found the same thing, with just about every other game, too, via the Japanese here:

Meanwhile, here’s a picture of the game from one of mi amigas who is there right now:

While I understand ESPN’s frustration with being held hostage for the English rights to the game, I was disappointed that they didn’t do soccer the service of making the fairly simple announcement on how to see the game. Clearly not in their financial interest, but a quick “Ch 203 on DirecTV” woulda helped more than a few find the free preview of MUN2 that ends Thursday.
Even more frustrating was that ESPN may have helped Mr. Bocanegra find out that there was a USMNT game in Mexico City. A 1-1 draw with a Bocanegra DNP would have been a better result.
