    That was the most high profile regular season game in league history... easily.

    Just saw it now, at the half right now


    Stupid ESPN should do a better job of advertising this stuff. For a while ESPN Classic has been garbage, showing very little games and more classic bowling and poker.

    Apparently ESPN's reception of FSC is just as grainy as mine.

    Wow! What a great atmosphere at that game. I sure hope that game provokes more people to go out and watch Red Bulls' games.

    Saaaayyy whaaaaaat? That what I said to myself when I was flipping through the channels. It probably won't be the last time this match is on Classic. But how does a "rival" company broadcast a game from another, especially with the logos present?

    Yeah, what's with FSC? They need some HD cameras or something, even that score ticker is lame, they look so amateur.


    Haven't seen it in a while or don't know if it's universal, but one game I saw at a friends on GolTV looked much better, very clear

    Pre-empted by women's basketball.

    Let the outcry begin.

    What kind of Mickey Mouse BS is this?!?!?! They cut the game off for the WNBA playoffs?!?!

    Little League has gone into extra innings on ESPN2 (9th inning in 6-inning regulation), runs over a WNBA playoff game, now in the third quarter.

    Basically, live programming trumps recorded programming.

    The bigger problem is if Little League REALLY runs over, and either that or WNBA spills over into LA-CHV tonight.

    I'm sure all 100 fans of the WNBA nationwide are thankful.

    I want you to remember the date and time you said that the next time someone says "Who watches MLS?"

    But really, is it possible to explain the real world to any of you?

    There was a while there when the Mutiny left Tampa where I live, I was not into MLS...but now with Beckham, Denilson and others, I am actually back on board! I am liking the steps MLS is taking. Now bring back a team to Tampa and I will be all set.

    It's at times like these that I realize Bigsoccer is chock full of delusion.

    The WNBA game was pre-empted too.

    By the way, I do watch the WNBA as well, so I'm actually more upset that the rugrat baseball ran into the scheduled start of the game, but If it hadn't, I wouldn't have discovered LA-NY on Classic and got to see more than half of I game I never thought I'd get to see.

    Fortunately, the LLWS game has ended and there should be no issues affecting the MLS Game which I have to tape anyhow because of the late start time.

    Wow, 22. You must've seen all there is to life, old man.

    Let me sit next to you, learn the life lessons you picked up in World War II and hear about how hard it is out there. :rolleyes:

    Basketball OTs go relatively quickly, I wouldn't worry just yet
