    Rain is letting up and some people starting to come back out. Part of the field looks like it's under water. Could make for some good celebrations!

    That was a different situation.

    Local News != Paid Programming
    (except for the commercials)

    Plus, that was Brazil/Germany, not the USA. Recall they almost moved the USA quarterfinal from ESPN to ABC.

    I'm just glad I get two ABC stations, Grand Rapids and Battle Creek... increased odds that one will stay with the game! :)

    What weird fricking weather. It still hasn't rained a drop where I live in DC. Can they even play on this field? It looks like it has taken on a lot of water.

    I wonder if the field will be like when they played in Ireland before the WC. That sucked.

    We need MLS stadiums with retractable domes! :D

    ..like Milwaukee's baseball stadium.

    I love the shots of the people in the crowd who are still just partying down. I'm jealous.

    I've certainly never seen baseball fans jump and sing in the rain like this.

    Hopefully they'll be out there after this commercial.

    "Hopefully Paulina can do the halftime show." -Garber

    Yes, and hopefully they'll show it. :)

    They better hurry up and start the game again. I'm getting pretty damn sick of that stupid sumo commercial.

    Damn. I'd rather watch the crowd or stare at the puddles in RFK then watch last year's All-Star Game.

    Well there goes the chance of making the MLS All-Star Game the real deal. Last I checked the game is 90 minutes long, not 60. So its just as bad as Milwaukeegate.

    I guess this answers my question... that the affiliates would indeed have cut away.

    It's all about Paulina Rubio and getting it all done in time. I agree it definitely looks like a joke. I won't be suprised if no one scores in this mess.

    LOL, that some of the funnist sh!t I've seen in awhile. The ref indicated halftime at 30 mins. And they show Preki like what is happening, I've never played a game thats 60 mins long. ABC would only do this to MLS. If it was the Baseball Allstar Game, they'd wait all night till the game resumed. But soccer isn't a major sport here in the US, and has a long way to go.

    Bad decision.

    Halftime should've been cut. Say, "sorry but we can't roll that stage out on the wet grass." Which was a bad idea, it looked like it chopped the pitch up pretty badly.

    They should've come out and played at least 35s.
