Good news from our friends at ESPN and USSF - tonights U20 World Cup match between the US Men’s team and Brazil is being shown live on both ESPN and ESPNU. That’s an improvement as it was originally only slated for ESPNU which requires a special sports package on most cable and satellite systems. From the US Soccer website:
USA ON ESPN: The U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team is set to face Brazil in the third and final Group D match of the FIFA Under-20 World Cup. Kickoff is set for 6:45 p.m. CT from Frank-Clair Stadium in Ottawa, with a sold-out crowd of over 26,500 expected to be on hand for the double header as Argentina will battle North Korea at 4 p.m. ET. Friday’s game will be shown live on ESPN, ESPNU and Galavision, and fans can follow along on ussoccer.com’s MatchTracker.
THIS ONE IS FOR THE GROUP: The U.S. currently sits in first place in Group D with 4 points after their win over Poland and tie with South Korea. Poland and Brazil are tied for second in the group with three points each while South Korea is in fourth with one point. With a victory over Brazil, or a draw and a Poland loss or draw against South Korea, the U.S. will win the group for their third consecutive time at the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The top two teams in Group D will advance to the quarterfinals, along with the four best third-place teams in the tournament.
Woo Hoo! And don’t even think about watching the Cardinal’s, that guy is still several away from tying the record with his steriod boost and didn’t even play against Cincinnati due to ’soreness’. Boycott!
