Have no idea what the site "requirements" are so you may want to dry run it tonight.

Nothing better than matches being played 45 minutes from my humble abode.
30 hours 25 minutes to kick so pacing has begun.
5 matches in 12 days....WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWHO

2016 WILL BE GLORIOUS

 

You need a cable subscription.

Potentially 5 for the US, but 15 overall if you plan on watching the non-US games as well.

 

What's sad is you can already name the starters.
GK Solo
RB Krieger CB Johnson CB Sauerbrunn LB Klingenberg
RM Dunn CM Horan CM Brian LM Heath
F Lloyd F Morgan
Subs will be most likely O'Hara, Mccaffrey and Press.

 

I don't see too much that is sad about having a regular team these days. There has been substantial turnover and we have sufficient new talent for this qualifying tournament. We'll see how correct your line-up is; it looks close, but I bet there are a couple differences.

 

That's 7:30 central time, no?

 

I think it sux that in the USA, it's hard to see this game on TV (Verizon doesnt carry the channel), find a stream that works (jury out on that) BUT I have at least 6 or 7 channels carrying a Mexico - Senegal friggin friendly. I guess I should be happy that we still have channels in English at all.

If anybody finds a working stream please post it. It would be much appreciated

 

NBC Live Exta is NBC's online sports streaming platform. No authentication will be necessary for this though.

FWIW, Verizon does carry NBSCN and NBC universo.
Annoyingly, Live Extra and en vivo extra are the exact same app, but separate.

 

Thanks... I noticed that starting with the Mexico game I get them all the way thru. Seems to be just the early games. I'll the stream you mentioned.... with Mexico - Senegal in the background lol

 

yes, here is a link that looks to work. 5:30 pst / 6:30 mt / 7:30 central / 8:30 est
*incase everyone forgets what time zone they are in, i've listed them all.

Not happy this isn't on TV. Just read that the final will be on tape delay as well...

 

So is the stream good?

 

The stream doesn't work outside the USA, so I downloaded an app called tunnel bear which is working for the Mexico/Puerto Rico game.

 

Yes, occasionally the fast action skips detail, but it's very decent.

 

I hope CP starts

She'll probably get her shot against Puerto Rico.

 

Ding, ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!

 

Maybe she'll sit Lloyd and start Press behind Morgan against PR

 

Apparently you can watch tonight's game between the USWNT vs. Costa Rica on NBC Live Extra, without needing to input TV authentication details (i.e. your account information).

So for those without cable or satellite, see if this link works (please note, the game hasn't started yet) ............

That was well outside the box. Bad call.
2-0

 

What would a CONCACAF game be without bad reffing?

 

3-0

Dunn got the scraps and a Costa Rican got a yellow for her protest.

I'm too lazy to rewind. How was the AR's positioning?

 

I woke up for Lloyd's PK, rewound to watch Morgan's goal ... and they scored again while I was gone

 

I was wondering if I was the only one watching this.
