If you dont mind watching it in Spanish (but with english graphics for some reason), TeleFutura is carring the US-Brazil game right now.

TeleFutura is on Charter cable, I dont know who else carries it.

It wasnt an exhibition, it was a pool game for the Confederations Cup.

I dont think the US is going to get out of group play, but to be fair, its a killer lineup:

* France - host, defending champion and winner of UEFA European Championship 2000

* Brazil - winner World Cup 2002

* Japan - winner AFC Asian Nations Cup 2000

* USA - winner CONCACAF Gold Cup 2002

* New Zealand - winner OFC Oceania Nations Cup 2002

* Cameroon - winner CAF African Cup of Nations 2002

* Colombia - winner CONMEBOL Copa America 2001

* Turkey - special invitation

I saw the game with Turkey but didn't get to see the game with Brasil. I only saw the highlights but it sure look liked Donovan was brought down in the box.

Hope to see the game with Cameroon today.

Probably one of the few on this board who loves futbol.

It was a definate penalty. The announcers where going crazy. But to be fair there was an obvious US penalty in the box against a Brazillian (Ronaldinho ?) earlier in the game that didnt get called either. What really hurt about that game was the goal we gave up was just a dumb move by our keeper. The Mexican announcer almost cried over that one.

Hope to see the game with Cameroon today.

is that on EPSN2?

Probably one of the few on this board who loves futbol.

I like 'elite' level futbol. National squads, English Premier, Serie A, the Bundesliga, Spanish League, and even though they are not the same level, I'll watch Cruz Azul of the Mexican League.

Anything below that usually isn't great to watch, and MLS usually bores me.

According to the DaMN, the game is on tape-delay tonight on GALA.

I really, really try to support the Burn but a couple of things make it hard. The Cotton Bowl was too far away and too big. Southlake is closer but it's a joke to watch a game on a football field. Even so, I'll go to a game or two this year. I'll be glad when they move to Frisco although I fear the atmosphere and crowd will be dull.

I love the Premiership. With Fox Sports World there are plenty of games on. Started following Newcastle United. It's a tough league with not a lot of flash like the Brazilian or Mexican leagues but it's still the league I follow the most.

Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of the National team.

A friend and I went to see the U17 USA team play the Newcastle United U17 team in Richardson during the Dallas Cup. We were stunned to find 10,000 people there and the stadium packed. Freddy Adu didn't disappoint either, scoring the only goal.

We lost to Turkey 2-1. It reminded me of USA soccer before this past world cup. The game would be close but the other team dominated possession and could've won by more. I'm not a big fan of using one forward but doing that usually keeps the game close.

The game will be shown tape-delayed on GALA tonight at 8.

What makes it hard for me is that its pretty dull... I think MLS is alot like dump and chase hockey. Of course, some futbol is better than no futbol; On the other hand no futbol is as good as Mean Green Football.

I love the Premiership. With Fox Sports World there are plenty of games on. Started following Newcastle United.

Blackburn!

He's Blue,

He's White,

He's F*cking Dynamite,

David Dunn, David Dunn!!!

It's a tough league with not a lot of flash like the Brazilian or Mexican leagues but it's still the league I follow the most.

English Premiership = Just Win Baby

German= Just win, and make it look robotic

Mexican = Just win, and make it look good

Brazilian = Just make it look realy really good

Italian = Just make sure you supermodel GF looks really really good

Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of the National team.

I cheer USA, and the Tricolores when they arent playing us, and anyone who is playing France. Oh, and Nigeria, since they are the Green Eagles.

Ahhhh talking futbol, almost as good as talking football.

Obviously I want Friedel and Keller to do good, but Newcastle is my team.

The songs in England are the best (sung to Yellow Submarine)

Peter Reid's got a f%ckin monkey heed,

a f%ckin monkey heed,

a f%ckin monkey heed.

Man those fans are brutal.

Your description of the leagues is right on. Now you should rate them in "best flop" order. Probably either the Brazilians or Italians are #1.

I'm partial to the Irish and Sweden myself, but all of the African teams are fun to watch.

Don't like the French, Italians, or Argentina.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive, that's a problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??

      What to expect from Odom?

      You have quite unique comments on there…

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.
