Let's go Trinidad!!

[Toon³]

Shaka Hislop starts instead of Kelvin Jack. Don't know why.

[sarabella]

This game already looks to be much more entertaining than the last one.

[benficafan3]

Sweden starting strong.

[Mglnbea]

Go T N T!!!
To all the fans who went home crying in 1989 after Paul Caligiuri's goal, my heart is with you today and during this Cup!

[Toon³]

Free kick on the very edge of the area

[benficafan3]

Freekick for Sweden, just outside the box.

[sarabella]

That FK was a bullet.

[Toon³]

That FK was a bullet.

It was past Shaka before he knew it.

[topcow]

Why is Kevin Jack wearing Hislops jersey?

[Ombak]

Shaka Hislop starts instead of Kelvin Jack. Don't know why.According to ABC it is Jack, not Hislop...

[M]

Shaka Hislop starts instead of Kelvin Jack. Don't know why.

Who the ABC commentators keep calling Kelvin Jack...

[leonidas]

my nap was good and now im ready for a good game. sweden has looked good thus far.

[Toon³]

Why is Kevin Jack wearing Hislops jersey?

Because it's Shaka Hislop.

[Chesco United]

Memo to ESPN: Hislop in goal, not Jack. My guess is that Hislop is in because of experience.

[Toon³]

Don't know why Hislop is starting and not Jack. But it IS Hislop in goal for TandT

[charlie15]

These commentators from ABC are pretty bad...
they do not even know it is Shaka Hislop!

Harkes should know that...Shaka play in West Ham in England and used to live in DC when he was at Howard Univ.
