Begging ussoccer.com for a mercy killing...

[E. & P.]

Please, please, get rid of Matchtracker.

Today it froze up at minute 4, (Pando Ramirez SHOT ON GOAL) and, at least for me, never worked again. Which begs the question, has this ridiculous technology EVER worked?

Why not simply go lower-tech, stick a couple of commentators on a blog and have them do running commentary online? It would be much more interesting and informative about what's going on during the game for those of us unable to watch. And it wouldn't freeze up EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU TRIED TO DEPLOY IT.

Who's with me? Can we get a petition going?

It was stuck on Minute 19 for me, for the longest time.

That is, before I threw in the towel on it. Which left me to survive just on the words and actions of the BigSoccer rank and file on the PbP (with no ESPN Int'l broadcast for us here in Australia til deep into the overnight).

The webmasters at ussoccer.com need to revamp the MatchTracker ASAP, especially for those who have no access to USA matches, otherwise.

U.S. Soccer's matchtracker is rubbish. If I can't watch the game, I follow along on BigSoccer (like most people do). I also give PBP for some people on a web chat room, so I know there's many places that are better than matchtracker.

For those that can't watch the game, it's the next best alternative. I'm glad we have it!

you can usually find a aim chat going in a room called BigSoccer USA . . .

Agreed -- but only when it's working to perfection. Which isn't often, unfortunately.

i'm trying to figure out why they don't have video highlights of the game on USSoccer.com.

at first i thought it was because they didn't want to interefere with ESPN's website, but they don't have the goals either. if i'm missing it either place, someone please inform me.
