Metro vs Le Bumble Bees - pre, during, post game [R]

80 percent chance of me being there. Will have to travel from Stony Brook.

 

Out of curiosity, why is the game not being televised? I looked up the schedule for MSG and FSNY on Sunday. MSG is showing Canadian Football and FSNY is showing Darts! I will be at the game so it makes no difference to me, but I just wondered why the Metrostars can't displace Canadian Football or darts?

 

I just checked D* and the game IS on DirectKick (presumably the Columbus feed), Channel 794 @ 6PM Sunday. Given the rather unique no-blackout situation with these games I would hope (expect) to be able to catch it that way.

If anyone more knowledgeable has further info we'd all appreciate it.

=NLK=

 

Why is the game starting at 6:00? Is there something going on after the game?

 

You can also watch the game streamed from mlsnet.com

 

Well after a bit of a layoff (got married), I'll be there and bringing 4 friends. Hope they put up a better preformance than the last two games.

Prediction. 2-1 Metros in typical nailbiter fashion.

PS: I'm bummed about no TV coverage. I like to watch the TiVo'd game the next day when I'm a bit more sober to catch things I might have missed. Upstaged by Canadian Football? Tell me it's at least their regular season not pre-season.

INJURY REPORT: METROSTARS - OUT: MD Michael Bradley (R foot stress fracture); MD Gilberto Flores (L ankle ruptured tendon); MD Mark Lisi (R ankle sprain); DOUBTFUL: DF Craig Ziadie (L knee LCL sprain); QUESTIONABLE: FW Mike Magee (L knee MCL sprain); DF Eddie Pope (R hamstring strain) ...

YELLOW PERIL: MET: Tenwya Bonseu (20 CP); Ricardo Clark (18 CP) ... CLB: Frankie Hejduk (20 CP)


Magee now on the "questionable" list after missing last week's match.

I think it will be as entertaining as the Galaxy home match a few weeks ago with a 2-1 Metros win over the Crewd.

 

Man, is anybody else not worried about Tony Sanneh at all?

 

I am not worried at all.

Pope and Magee likely out; Kenny's in, I'd wager, but what about Brenes?
Will we see him as a sub or will he start instead of Vaca?

 

In the Daily News today, I swear it said MSG was broadcasting the game. Doesn't matter too much to me, since we'll be there

 

He hasn't recieved "official international clearance," whatever the fvck that means. You can sleep easy tonight now.

 

Here is MSG schedule
http://www.msgnetwork.com/tv_schedule.jsp

seems it wont be

 

That's today's schedule. Of course, tomorrow's MSG schedule says Canadian football will be televised, not the Metros.

At the same time, MetroStars.com says the game is on MSG.

I guess if you want to be sure of seeing the game, go to the stadium.

How's the traffic been coming back to NY from the Meadowlands on Sunday nights?

Edit: disregard the above, I totally misread MetroStars.com - it says there will be no TV for this game.

 

excuse me i thought the game was today

Did anyone catch the metro soccer report, where they would have said if the game was going to be on MSG

 

Tomorrow's game is not going to be on MSG. If you have the Direct Kick package, your best bet is to check channels 793-797 at 6pm. The game will be broacasted through UPN, some channel from Columbus.

By the way, there isn't going to be a Metro Soccer Report on 9/2 due to the convention.

 

Have someone else do it?
