It does appear that way, as Ussocer has changed it from "TBD" to "none." I don't think I've ever seen that before. The last time a US game was not telivised was for Honduras last year and I think it said TBD or FSC until the end.

I'm supprised since I thought FSC has a Canadian version and you would think they would be interested in playing over there also.

Freddy will run the length of the field and meg Onstad with his right foot. It will become an urban legend seen only by 7,000

The last I heard, the average Canadian cares less about soccer than the average American. I doubt there's much interest up north in broadcasting this. And since there (probably) won't be a camera crew from the visiting country, FSC won't be able to pick up an existing video feed.

Yes, this sucks as a fan. After four weeks of buildup from the Nats camp and then... nothing. At least this applies only to the Canadian match. The next two matches should be more interesting and the good news is that they are scheduled for broadcast.

I know this isn't much consolation, but at the very least there probably will be highlights on the All Access Video portion of the US Soccer website. It may be a day or two after the game, but I'm sure they'll be there.

Who needs TV when you have a Matchtracker Presented by Philips?:D

USSoccer should put it live on the Internet ala MLS ... but I doubt they will ... who cares about that $30M in reserves? They're saving $30K by not having cameras at the game ...

What a joke. Shows what happens when we schedule world cup warmup games that have little appeal, though. :(

What's on ESPN??

ESPN is showing the US figure skating championships, whereas the Australian open has been releagated to ESPN2 at that time.

The blockade on ESPN2 is really women's college hoops, which runs from 4-6 eastern. They have filler from that until the Aussie Open, which starts at 7, which is when the game should end. At least they are showing live events around that time.

In contrast, FSC - which some claim as the savior of soccer on television - is showing Lazio-Cagliari on tape-delay. That's the same game being shown six hours earlier. :rolleyes:

USSF and FSC should split the costs and broadcast this mutha...

If not, one of you nerds should video it and put it online later with a paypal donation link. I would contribute.

I'd love to know how MLS does this. Especially in regards to cost.

A) At least 1 camera - preferablly 3.
B) A mixing/editing team. - I don't work in TV, but I'd assume 2 ppl min.
C) Sending the "Signal" via internet LIVE. This might cost some serious change.
D) Guest color-comentator by Ray Hudson:D - don't know how much he'd charge?

Here's an idea, could BigSoccer, broadcast something like this? How about LIVE internet radio? GolTV, FSC? come on! Give us what we want! Even if its just radio.

7 days until kickoff and not even a 'tbd' on ussoccer.com. It's time to get worried.

Hypothetically, it can be done with the remote controlled cameras (something like you'd see inside a hockey goal), the video mixing/editing software and a server.

It's probably easier to edit/mix the broadcast after the game rather during it however.

You're right. I don't know where I started misreading that. Apologies for the error.

So it is the Aussie Open on ESPN2 and the EPL Review show and Dream Team on FSC.
