Bruce A, is that you?
I don’t know what he did. It doesn’t sound good though.
But getting criticism from Mr. Sabbatical who showed up to the 2014 camp fat and out of shape is kind of rich.
LOL. Do you understand how free enterprise works? CONCACAF sold the rights for all qualifying matches, but domestic rights for home games which the USSF controls, to the highest bidder. And companies bid based -- wait for it -- not based on what you find convenient to you but how much money they think they can make by having the rights. Have you considered living in China or somewhere less friendly to free enterprise?Looked up the TV for tonight...only English language broadcast is Paramount+. Seriously?

No. That is incorrect. The worldwide television rights to each World Cup Qualifying match are the property of the hosting country. The host Federation is under no obligation to grant these television rights to a specific broadcaster in their opponent’s home territory.

The non Mexico/USA countries sold their rights to Telemundo and CBS. CBS is choosing to put this on Paramount+ to promote their crappy streaming service (since even a new Star Trek series couldn't generate any interest). I totally understand that. But somebody at USA Soccer should be informing them why that is a bad idea. Loudly. Meanwhile, I can watch Wales vs Belarus on regular cable (and did).
There it is. There was no way you were going to allow two straight negative results without implying it was Landon Donovan's fault.
Do you care that you make Palatine's level of horse beating skills look like the USL?

I didn’t say it it was his fault. I said that criticism from him was amusing. He shouldn’t be one to talk.
I know you didn't say it was his fault. But do I find it bordering between humorous and scarily obsessive that you're still taking shots at him this many years later? You bet I do.
I get Paramount+. It has Serie A soccer, Champions League soccer, EuroCup, Nations, etc., and I have to say, the new Star Trek series are better than anything since Voyager.No. That is incorrect.

It is a very solid channel compared to many.
Sands and Acosta are so slow and predictable with the ball. That’s why Musah is key for us. He’s strong with the ball and drives at the opposition like no other 6/8 we have.This is ugly. Our system sucks against pressure. Not generating anything. Decent chance there finally.
Brooks coming into midfield is a nightmare scenerio. And he does it because out midfield is non existent AGAIN.And Brooks screws up, then they score.
Watch Picard.I am watching Jamaica vs Costa Rica. Reggae Boyz just tied it up on the road. Nice stadium. Largely empty. I will watch Star Trek since I paid for this (free trial for now).
Panama and Mexico tied 1-1. What outcomes are we pulling for? Canada crushed the El Salvador team we tied. We need the Canucks to lose. Tonight is a must win.
