    Mexico is involved. I'm sure one of the Spanish networks will provide coverage.

    I think that the scripps national spelling bee is scheduled for that time slot.

    I'll be there for the final group game. I hope others from the Orlando area will make the trip. I wish the other games will be televised as I can't attend due to school and work.

    I would be surprised if it's not also on ESPNU, but I have no evidence that it will be yet.

    No, ESPN would rather broadcast dog shows, spelling bees and world's strongest man competitions than US Soccer.:mad:

    Is it possible to get an alternative-English audio for ESPN Deportes? I know most English language channels offer the Spanish alternative. I wish it would work the other way as well.

    Here's the proof that the ONLY legit way to see these matches is ESPN Deportes (TV) or ESPN360 (online) -

    To the extent someone can locate p2p streams as the matches are imminent, please post here, thanks! :D

    ESPN Deportes Nets 2008 Mens Olympic Soccer Qualifying Event

    ...
    Under the agreement between ESPN and CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football), ESPN Deportes will be the U.S. exclusive Spanish-language carrier of the tourney, which kicks off March 11 and concludes March 23.

    The deal, terms of which were not disclosed, also gives U.S. broadband rights to ESPN360, and game plays to ESPN Deportes Radio.

    CONCACAF officials, at press time, said they were negotiating for the English-language TV rights here in the States.

    ........
    In addition to airing all of the matches live, ESPN Deportes will present preview shows for each round and provide extensive coverage on SportsCenter, Fuera de Juego and Cron metro.

    Fans will also be able to see all 16 matches live, and via replay, on ESPN360.com, with all of the matches accessible on-demand for 48 hours, following their completion.

    .........
