Anyone watch the show??? I have seen it before, and enjoy it a lot. I missed it last night but it's on right now. These guys actually have a good grasp of the National team. So far, they went over the match vs Triniadad, and have made good points. They talk about Bob rolling the dice, and not playing with 2 hodling mids, and they stated it payed off, and that when we play at home, we should never play with 2 d imds, maybe when we play an opponent like Argentina, but non against minnows. They stated that Ching didnt play too well, and we have too mcuh talent tokeep starting him. They said Jozy play great for Villa, and Davies derserves a chance the wat he has been playing, and scroing. They brought up EJ and said that they know he is lacking confidence, but what is he to do, say no to the call ups if Bob keep doesing it? They also said that we should get more young players in these call ups, and one guy said, please call up Cooper, if he stinks, so one, whats there to lose? Also said we need to try another outside bac, as Dolo has shown some weaknesses, and Wynne deserves a call.I may be stating things bigsoccer posters have been saying, as I have as well, but they speak the truth, and are very smart.

I had dishnetwork and don't get GOLTV anymore, but the show was pretty good. The host practically begged Rossi to choose us on one show. Anyways, I wouldn't be surprise to see one of those guys are a member of this board.

They had good points. Hopefully Bradley will use the next few matches to test some of those permutations. Even if he wants to use those matches to "team build" with the players he feels are the best choices, there should be latitude for solid 20 or 30 minute trials for some other players. Sometimes chemistry between players yields better results than pure technical skills.

Good news for Time Warner people, they just added GOLTV, you have to pay for it monthly thought (they don't charge for FSC). I believe it's about 4 dollars however. Just got it!

I heard next week show is the last one.
Sad, but truth: MLS and US Soccer can't survive in TV, in a US market.

Yeah, unfortunately it's a niche show on a niche channel that most folks have to pay extra for to begin with. I imagine the shows produced by FSC (Fox Soccer Report, Fox Football Fone-In) are on pretty tight budgets as well. I wasn't ever a big fan of American Soocer but it's still sad to see it go.

What a shame if it's really going off. I really enjoy the show. It can't cost much to produce; league clips and three guys sitting behind a stand.

This is what's backwards about Soccer marketing in the US. Instead of relying on traditional media like cable and satellite, why not rely more on the internet?

Sorry to hear the showing is moving on. However, I admit I didn't know when it was going to be on. I just catch it by surprise every so often.

That's a great point. Just put a stream on the 'net, it'd be pretty darn cheap. Highlights and a couple of fanatics calling for Bob's head.

It sounded like a show I might watch around the time of WCQs if the show stayed on and I paid more to get Gol TV.

I liked the show. My TiVo picked it up and I'd watch it every week. I hope these rumors are false.

Not false, they said it at the end of the show.
