It's a 4-4-2 with Morgan and Heath up top, supposedly. It'll probably end up as a 4-2-3-1.

 

Really curious. As of late, no Press or Leroux..... Again, not really a big game, and you kinda have to give the crowd Morgan, Solo, and Lloyd.

 

Why would they not have Horan up top even starting off as a 4-4-2?!?

 

Did we need go that strong for T&T?

 

Interesting that Horan is starting. I didn't think she was very good in the Brazil game.

 

i know this is on espn2, but does anyone have a different streaming link?

 

Try here: http://ifirstrowus.eu/watch/394453/1/watch-usa-vs-trinidad-and-tobago,-w.html

 

CBB is on..... Whut?!?

 

ESPN2 shows a 21:30 EST kick-off, in 30 minutes.
@ussoccer_wnt is also clearly still in ramp-up mode, not imminent-kickoff mode.
@TTFootballAssoc is a daily digest, not a pbp outlet -- not a peep in 19 hrs.

Immediately following the match, stay tuned to ESPN2 for Becoming: Alex Morgan

 

I'm glad I checked here...all I knew is none of the 50 tvs in my sports bar had it on...I'm multitasking with the nfl game

 

And Trinidad&Tobago almost didn't play this game tonight due to lack of support from their Fed'n. Were boycotting game until late last nt.

I'm told @ussoccer had to step in and loan T&T Fed'n money so players would play. Rewind to WWC Qs & team arriving in US w no $. Yep.

You can watch that special now in 1080p HD as you're waiting, as it is right here ...........

 

This may sound crazy, we might see this line up in Rio.

 

It's 2130!!!!!!

 

Almost got one in under 45secs!

 

i did and it said some virus was detected. ;/

 

Why would a team lacking funds play in two separate locations?!?

 

Choppy game so far.

 

The field does not look impressive....

And the play so far is Ehhh.

Morgan just missed (saved) on a nice through ball that was missed played, and Heath's rebound was blocked.

 

A 2nd T&T player is down. No contact injury. Stretcher is out.
