8/17, WCQ: USA v T&T -- in-match thread {R}

[babytiger2001]

USA v Trinidad & Tobago
CONCACAF Final Round WCQ's
Match Day 6
At Rentschler Field, Hartford, CT

Conceivably, the USA can clinch a fifth consecutive berth in a World Cup finals campaign with just two more wins in its WCQ Hex. Here's a good chance for one of them...

Kickoff: 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT (and 10 a.m. Melbourne time for me here)
TV: ESPN2 (live), what about Telemundo? Will they have it live, too?
Webcasts: Aside from the matchtracker on the USSF's homepage (http://www.ussoccer.com), anyone know of any others, preferrably audio ones? If they exist, post the links within...

Rosters: For those wanting to take a crack at predicting the lineups...

Keeping this thread locked until just before kickoff, as it's the thread for in-match action and analysis on the USA Men's N&A forum. Pre-match thread here. (http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=232332)

Unlocking thread, and stickying it for the match.

I'm really suprised that Armas isn't starting in front of that Defense.

Bruce is confident.

Fair enough, I thought that may have been a possibility.

Yeah, me, too. Not that I'm disappointed, but I figured he'd want a true destroyer-type to try to shut down the counter.

I may be just climbing the ladder here, but I predict Hav-OC will ensue shortly.

Go US!

I'm starting to have some faith in Arena again. This is a winning lineup, intending to punish our opponent.

[EuroChamp05]

Big win for US tonight. I predict 3-0.

[Ictar]

Is anyone doing PBP? I have never done it but don't mind doing it if nobody else is.

[Dead Fingers]
