1/18: US vs. Canada Official PBP Thread [R]

How about a halftime thread? I picked up the PPV and will weigh in with observations...

 

I second the halftime Update/Discussion. I can't get Matchtraker to work and I have Dishnetwork so I couldn't get the match on PPV so I have no idea what is going on.

TIA

 

Someone who'd do PbP would be great. I don't trust matchtracker; it gums up and has long pauses.

Thanks if someone is able.

 

Wooo! Bocanegra in the 8th minute - off a corner from Bobby Convey. 1-0 to the Yanks!

 

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

de Carlos Bocanegra

scores off a header from corner sent in by Convey

 

I dunno...Match Tracker seems to be working fine...

1-0 US on a Bocanegra header, 8th minute

 

Corner was a result of a well saved shot taken by LD

20 minutes in - Canada's had some chances off of defensive missteps and on set pieces, but has either misfired or been stymied by Howard.

 

Teams exchanging fouls for the last five minutes

(according to matchtracker)

 

Is anyone actually watching this? The matchtracker is fine when it comes to fouls and such, but I have no idea how the actual flow of the game is going.

 

"Horrid"

calling free kick "horrid" = Brit announcer (?)

 

Handball on Canada by the U.S goal - Matchtracker calls it a "dangerous" opportunity wasted.

 

I wouldn't count on any Canadian radio. Hockey night in Canada & all.

 

At least your matchtracker works. At work, the matchtracker won't load for stats and game summary.

So thank you for any information whatsover.

 

Hmm

This sounds like it's actually a pretty exciting game--is anyone actually watching it who's logged on?
