CONCACAF has a YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=concacaf)with a lot of content about the Gold Cup. It's pretty interesting, with in-depth analysis by John Harkes and Shep Messing.
I think Messing is a tool, but I was pretty impressed with Harkes. Can't wait to see what they have to say about The USA T&T match.

nice links.
they also look to have hour-long game summaries (with coverage from Messing and Steve Cangalosi (sic) from MSG).
US v Guat (if anyone wants to relive that for any reason).

nothing from the weekend (6/9 and 6/10 has been posted, yet).
the official Concacaf Gold Cup website also has a video section with some different videos.

Great stuff! Harkes and Shepping have commentary post Guat game and a nice old reminiscing session with Bora M (who is coaching Jamaica now).

This CONCACAF Gold Cup youtube channel is great! I've been checking it out for most of the day. Very nice stuff.
I'm surprised they haven't made a bigger deal out of this. This is the first time I'm hearing about it.

Shep Messing is the Black Eyed Peas of American soccer.
Anyone know if he does Bar Mitzvahs?

In the analysis of the T&T game, Harkes has no idea who is making the plays. It's pretty sad actually. He gives Benny credit for Chings pass to LD that setup the second goal even though LD came on for Benny.

They should be up no later than tomorrow (based on what they've been putting up so far)

Anyplace I can just see shorter goal clips?
The 60 minute game summaries take too long to load - and you can't fast forward to the good parts.
The USSF doesn't show anything game related.

Some really interesting analysis of the US v Panama match. Harkes and Messing really take to Dempsey.
I gotta say that Messing is a complete jerk. He also brown-noses Harkes while trashing the host. Just gets on my nerves.
I'm still pretty impressed with Harkes. He seems to provide some really thoughtful analysis.

All I gotta say is the Concacaf YouTube broadcast is about 100000x better than the FSC broadcast.

The play by play man is excellent. Far and away the best I have seen from an American. He gets the plays right, the players right and adds just enough commentary to make it interesting.

A few thoughts on this. First of all, thanks to those who posted the links. I've been enjoying both the analysis shows as well as the condensed versions of some of the (non-U.S.) matches that I had missed on FSC.
I don't really care for Messing as a color commentary guy during games (although he seems to have at least calmed down a bit since Korea/Japan), but I think he does a nice job as an analyst. The whole thing with trashing the host is comedy, people. Your mileage may vary as to how funny it is (I think it works most of the time), but he's not being a jerk. I think he does tend to stroke Harkes a bit too much, but on the other hand even though these guys are agreeing on almost everything, it's refreshing to watch a sports analysis show where the "arguments" aren't scripted. That stuff (Cold Pizza, Around the Horn, Pardon the Interruption, etc) is just pathetic most of the time.
I also enjoyed some of the interviews... although I still have no idea what Bora was saying. ;)
