You may be able to watch it online here: http://www.nbcolympics.com/soccer/index.html

Try the rewind link, I'm not sure if that's just highlights or the full game though.

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Japan at 4 a.m.[Rs]

Well, my provider doesn't have very good descriptions for the Olympic events in the program guide but last night on Universal HD they were replaying the Women's game from yesterday morning around 8:00pm. So they may be replaying the men's game again tonight - I am not real happy with the "generic" descriptions - they did have a new channel added in HD that had a generic men's soccer description from 4-10am - I recorded it but when I checked it this morning the first 2 hours where a logo pattern and it looked like they started picking up the Argentina game around 6:00am.

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Japan at 4 a.m.[Rs]

If you have Comcast HD, the game is being shown again twice tonight on Universal HD, channel 297 at 7 PM and then again at 9 PM.

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Japan at 4 a.m.[Rs]

It'll show again on MSNBC channel 80 (Comcast) on Friday at 7pm.

WAY TO GO STUIE!!!!!

In general, you might want to see if your provider has added the NBC Olympic Soccer channel. I have AT&T Uverse and they have repeated and added new channels in the 70-90 channel number range so that all the channels showing Olympic programming are next to each other.

They added a new HD channel called OSHD on the guide which appears to be the Olympic Soccer channel. Looks like you can catch a lot of games on that channel if you are interested.

(FYI - they also have an Olympic Basketball Channel if you are a basketball fan also)

Here's a clip in a foreign language of Golden Holden's game-winner:

On the Olympic Soccer Channel

1pm China vs New Zealand
2:30pm Netherlands vs Nigeria (USA Group)
4pm S. Korea vs. Cameroon

I've been watching this channel all day, and as of now they have not provided results for upcoming matches. Further, there is no half-time break for the non-live games. They move directly to the 2nd half.

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

Oh my....need a nap badly....getting up at 4AM is killer.

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

That is what a DVR is for

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

Have one but invariably I find out what the score was before I get to watch the match and it ruins the whole game for me. Like yesterday, I heard that the women's team lost to Norway 2-0. I still decided to watch the replay last night. What I didn't know at the time was that the score was 2-0 after about 4 minutes of the first half. Geez, why bother watching the rest, right?

Besides, I'm kind of superstitious - when you watch the game live you can pass on some "positive vibes" to the players - can't do that when it's a replay.

I'll just go to be earlier next time.

USA USA USA

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

LOL That is superstitious!

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

I watched the game on fast-forward on the DVR after I heard Marcello's voice

I saw the score change to 1-0, then rewinded to see it. Good for Stuie

What's wrong? You don't like 'celo?

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

mute button for me...

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

that's not a foreign language... that's just gibberish

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

Well done Stuart !!!

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

Why does'nt the team have the US crest on the jersey???

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

My guess is that it is some sort of USOC/US Soccer thing. Since they are US athletes representing the USOC instead of just "Us Soccer" generally?

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

I've gotten so good at blocking out what he is saying, I don't even have to hit the mute button anymore. It is pretty impressive.

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Netherlands 8/10 at 6:45 a.m.[Rs]

same question came up in the WNT thread on US-Norway - it's an IOC ruling, not USOC/USSF as such, no federation badges on jerseys...

 

Re: The Beijing Olympics - US v. Japan at 4 a.m.[Rs]

DishNetwork is supposed to have the soccer channel on Ch99 and basketball on 98, but they aren't there yet. (Press release here.) We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Oh, and DishNet didn't take a dump on Telefutura the other night like Direct did.
