If you live in the Sacramento Area and have Satellite and are looking forward to watching it on ABC you're screwed unless, you like women's basketball. Here is some of the article.

Come Saturday, when Team USA plays for its survival against Italy in the World Cup, local fans shouldn't bother turning to News10 to watch that game at noon.

It won't be there.

Instead, we'll all be treated to a Monarchs home game courtesy of a hopelessly flawed decision by News10 executives who somehow think it's OK to show USA-Italy on tape at 3 p.m.

"This was the best way to serve everybody," said Margaret Mohr, News10's vice president of marketing. "Ratings are not what's important. Serving our local community is, and the Monarchs are local."

Un f-ing believable!! I live in SAC and saw this article in the paper, couldn't believe it. Isn't ABC/ESPN advertising that all 64 games are to be shown LIVE and in HD? how is showing it tape delayed LIVE? Guess Univision will be getting my buisness! WNBA instead of WC? i have people i work with who have caught the WC buzz and are looking forward to watching the US-Italy game on Sat. asking me what's up? Just another example of an ignorant TV people. This is the friggin WC, USMNT-v-Italy! Come on!
