    Wow.....the Union just can't get this press conference thing right. It really can't be this hard.

    I didn't watch. More of the same? Delay, followed by a few screen freezes, followed by the "stand by," followed by completely nothing?

    It was actually worse than normal. Even when it wasn't frozen, the sound kept bouncing in and out. They rarely got the sound for the reporters working at all. And......the broadcast seemed to end before before the press conference was over (at least it seemed like Edu was still speaking when the stream ended). At one point they had over 200 people on the stream which is a pretty big number for them, Don't know if that was an issue or not.

    That moment when you realize you probably had 100, or so, International viewers, and you completely effed it up.

    They're used to effing up in front of 18.5k so that's not so bad.

    Paid. Not actual.

    -EDIT-

    AFCB's interns are as bad as the Union's ...

    The Union web stream failed again? I'm as shocked as I was when the sun came up this morning.

    I'll probably decide around 6:30 if I'm going to go to the game, run, or neither.

    Well we did beat a team 3-0 this weekend, so the sun not rising was a distinct possibility.

    I can't see many people going. I didn't even try to give mine away. I'd say it's really a waste of an 18th game, but they did give STH 2 Cup games free.

    Taking the kids to Baltimore aquarium tomorrow. Doubt I'll be back in time for game and even if I am, I doubt I'll be interested in going to the game

    It's just not worth the vacation hours. If Chaco or Nogueira play more than 15 minutes, someone boo Jim for me. Preferably, they both get the night off and chill up in Shrimpville.

    I believe Bournemouth. much like other Euro teams, charges a monthly/annual fee for access to team video content so it is not like a free USOC game on youtube.

    A paid stream? For this nonsense game? They have to be smoking PCP.

    Yes. Let's invite the POTUS to a game that will see 3000-5000 people (if we're lucky).

    Remember, a large number of people voted International Friendlies over USOC matches a few years back for the free ticket. Always something to boggle the mind.

    Announced attendance will be 15,000 (thanks to STH). The FO will be satisfied.
