Depends on if you get Fox Soccer Channel or not, newbie.

Welcome to BS.

Thanks. Yes I do get FSC. I am not that new to big soccer but thanks for the welcome. I had a different name and lost password so I started over. Been on since 2002. Go Crew!

Just a little alert for those with a Direct Tv TiVo:

This game is NOT set as a category "soccer" nor does the title in any way imply the content.

The title is "International Sport" and the category is "Series, Live"

IT is on at 4:00 PM Eastern Time and repeated at 11:00 PM

HEADING SOUTH: The U.S. Men's National Team is shifting operations south today, as the team buses to Albuquerque in advance of the friendly against Honduras on March 19. The team completed a 75-minute session on the field turf at the Air Force Academy this morning, as the grass field (just 200 feet higher in elevation) remained covered in a blanket of snow. Kickoff against the 'Catrachos' at University Stadium is set for 2 p.m. MT, and the match will be broadcast live on Fox Soccer Channel and HDNet. Fans can also follow the match live on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics. For ticket info, click here.

So after training on astroturf (owing to snow on the grass) the USA departed Colorado on the team bus - so they are driving 375 miles to Albuqueque? Can that be right? After all that there will surely be quite a few tight hamstrings......... :eek:

Flying is a pain in the a$$ these days.

The match is also supposed to be on Telemundo, although the network is continuing to say "Teams to be annouced" for the 4pm slot on Saturday.

[SoccerPrime]

Can anyone remind me if there are any big name players or at least MLS players on the Honduran national team?

Owing to the visa fiasco who knows who will be on the team - although the MLS guys will presumably be OK. Guevara I guess is the best known.

Moving thread to USA Men News & Analysis, and sticky'ing it, where it'll now serve as an official thread for pre-match analysis and the PbP happenings.

[BuffloSoldier]

Names you'd know: Ivan Guerrero (Fire), Milton Reyes (ex-United/Dallas), Milton Nunez.

Thanks! I've got Dish and suspect the same issue.

EDIT: Dish does has the same problem ... the game is labeled "International Sport" although the description does say USA v. Honduras ... although no soccer reference...

so check your DVRs people! :)

[scaryice]

[um_chili]

Interesting--no Guevara. I get the sense we're again not going to be facing Hondo at their strongest. We torched these guys 4-0 the last two times we played. I expect something in that range this time as well.
