Just in case you missed it, United are playing Celtic in an exhibition in Seattle. The game will be broadcast live on FSWD, 22 July, 11pm EDT, 8pm PDT. This will be the 1st time to see a Beckham-less United, & some of the new names play. I don't think DjDj was included in the traveling group, but Howard & Bellion may be. I believe United are contractually obligated to play the big names for at least one half.
Howard is joining up with the squad a bit later (in time for the Juve match for sure). I'm assuming he's on his Honeymoon right now.
Is live radio commentary on the One United website tonight? By the way- Motterman, I assume you get Comcast Sportsnet...

Watching the Fox Sports World TV broadcast right now in the U.S. 1. I can't believe this is the U.S. It's a packed house in Seattle. 2. I can't believe this is a Fox Sports World broadcast. Top shelf advertisements from Adidas and Pepsi seem so out of place on FSW. (Anyone else confuse that Adidas spot for a Real Madrid one. Zidane. Beckham. Raul.) Kudos to the Man Utd marketing staff for setting up this tour. There's a fan base stateside to be won. Here's to an exciting match!
Yeah, everything was looking top-notch, until the center ref walked out on the pitch. What in THE ************ is Kevin Terry doing working this match?
lol. I guess this means one of the teams will be pulling the 'ol 4th substitute goalkeeper switch tonight.
This is frustrating... no radio commentary, no FSW in comcast land.. Thank God I will be at Giants Stadium and in Philly to see Man U... Anyway, how is the atmosphere? Any chanting, standing of the crowd, etc? How is Keano playing out there so far?
Tell me about it. This game was sold in March. I work at the radio station that has the rights to the Seahawks, and they told me this was "the hottest ticket this year in Seattle." I.e., no freebie box seats. Anyone have the lineups? BTW: It's on the Chinese web site, stvod.com
Typical American shite... A few random chants, and a helluva lot of those plastic horns. [Wildlife documentarian]And if you listen closely, you'll hear the mating call of the young american sports fan. The low bleating through the extended plastic snout, intended to court success on the field and win the favor of their idols.[/Wildlife documentarian]
ManU are playing a full lineup.... Ruud, Giggs, Keane, Solskjaer, etc. So are Celtic.... Allan Thompson just missed a penalty. Keane on the takedown. Kevin Terry didn't hesitate to point to the spot. Will keep updating as it appears soccernet does not have play-by-play. -bs
My neighbors paid $50+ for nosebleed seats. Glad they're getting their money's worth. Thanks for lineup info, bs.
Celtic are for shite. It's too bad they didn't sell segregated seating... no one is in voice. Lots of manU posession. Celtic look lethargic.
Fortune bags a corner from nothing. Out to Giggs. to o'shea neville, larson fouls, cheap shot = frustration in to Solskjaer, petrov clears celtic are stuck in mud. nistlerooy almost beats the keeper to the ball at top of the box.
Celtic on the ropes, tons of ManU possession. Keane, Varga with the foul, 25m. Ruud with the free..... Neville and Ruud over the ball..... Ruud with the swerving shot, should have been an easy save, bobbled but retrieved.
Thompson, Larrsson, Thompson, Sutton loses it to Neville in the corner, comes back in, Carroll clears. Better from Celtic, but Varga with an aimless cross, announcer sez Celtic predictable, agrree, not much movement. Larrson botches a pass, they look weak. OOOH, a free for Thompson at the corner of the box, but weak to Carroll. Neville, Giggs, Agate with a lunge, Fortune moving forward , Solskajer, 3-nil. Good night gracy.
