Official U-17 Matchtracker US-Jamaica [r]

RobtheAggie · Mar 5, 2003

I figured that someone better start the offficial thread. Who is going to be doing the cutting and pasting from Ussoccer.com to Bigsoccer.com? Any takers?

Pretty sure you can't cut and paste from a flash program, which matchtracker is. So whoever does pbp will have to re-type everything that matchtracker spits out. A little more work for whoever volunteers.

The person, or persons, can just put things in their own words which will be faster and work better.

who's going to provide the pre-game commentary?

AndyMead · Mar 5, 2003

Any Jamaican or Guatemalan radio/web coverage?

It will likely be, as usual, the same person who does the pbp and will just be things about the crowd and weather and line-ups and little tidbits, etc.
Here's the link to USsoccer. Just click the banner near the top for Matchtracker.

I just know that Jamaican sites are linking to USsoccer also so I doubt if they have any radio.
I believe this is all there will be.
Someone put this on another thread. Perhaps it has something. Not sure.

There's a Guatemalan sports radio station that has real audio (they have a game involving the league team Municipal on right now).

http://www.lared.com.gt

This is the simplest web page I've ever seen for a radio station. There is no schedule, nothing, just links to three speeds for the real audio connex.

If you understand Spanish it might be worth a shot.

checking this out now...

came up with this in the process:

Young Boyz take on United States - Jamaica Gleaner

i saw no mentioning of the matches receiving air time... but here are some direct links to jamaican radio:

Power 106 low quality - Real Audio

Power 106 hi quality - Real Audio

National team matches have also been streamed by Power FM. Click their logo to go to a page where you are offered a choice of high quality and low quality feeds. Ironically the low quality feeds seem to sound better. RealOne format.

Radio2 - Shoutcast

Matches featuring the Jamaican national team have been presented by Radio 2 from Kingston and provided to the internet in Shout! streamed MP3 format.

The narration is usually provided by Simon Crossgill, an announcer somewhat in British style, but with a nice Jamaican flavor. Could be the best English speaking announcer in the Western hemisphere.

Radio 2 has just started with Arnett Gardens vs. Necaxa in the FC Champions Cup. "You're listening to the never ending Mexican National Anthem."

Wolves_67 · Mar 5, 2003

Hope all is well come game time!!

Justin O · Mar 5, 2003

Hmmm....could be wrong but if memory serves, the first ever Bigsoccer pbp was for the U-17s back in the Landon/DaMarcus days. We've come full circle!

Unless one of those Jamaican links is doing it, nowhere. As I said, I doubt they are since the Jamaican sites are linking to Matchtracker also.

Found a live radio link from Guatemala:
