Cause it's kind of a big deal.
Does USA television usually broadcast world cup qualifiers?

ABC, NBC & CBS will pre-empt regularly scheduled programming to cover it. CNN and MSNBC will cover it, as will Fox News, but their 'fair and balanced' approach will refer to the players as 'Sissy Mary's.'
Actually likely it will be on ESPN or ESPN 2 like in 2004 versus Grenada.

To be fair, that's a lot nicer than what we normally say about the team. :)

Have you never followed the national team before, or is this a joke? All US games are on English speaking networks now. The Gold Cup was on FSC, Copa America was on Goltv, and their qualifiers for the 2006 World Cup were on ESPN2.

I think its a valid point considering his name and he is a member of this site, so he should have some idea about the question he asked.

Beating a bunch of Fisher Men isn't something that's worth making a big deal out of.

Have you followed the team before? Do you remember the fiasco that was the away match at in El Salvador in 2004 that had to go thru some pay-per-view dude from New Jersey who held the broadcast rights to ES National Team?

Those deals are rapidly disappearing. I know people keep bringing that up as some sort of bogeyman, but the vast majority of matches will be available.

Sure, but poking holes into someone's attack of another for not fully knowing what he is attacking is more fun.

For those of us with the Dominica/Barbados Network, this is no problem. Their slogan:
"All Dominica/Barbados, all the time."
Of course, I jest...it's the All-Caribbean Network.
So then we have no confirmations?

Trinity Broadcasting Network will kick Kirk Cameron off screen for two hours to cover this match.
