US qualifing game

[gigemaggs99]

It's frustrating, I enjoy watching US play soccer. We have the Fox Soccer channel and a lot of ESPN's. However it says for the US game versus Guatemala you have to either go to a bar that paid $750 for the pay-per-view rights or pay $30 to watch it a home.

The US Soccer camp wants us to become more excited about their progress but then there is silly stuff like this that keeps us from watching the games and supporting them.

This is frustrating.

If I understand correctly, it has absolutely nothing to do with the US soccer camp. Guatemala gets to choose broadcast rights because it is their home match. They chose PPV.

Here you go:

Unfortunately for U.S. fans, many will not get to watch this match. Per FIFA rules, the home country holds the TV rights for the match and Guatemala sold the rights to a company that will show it on pay-per view only in the U.S. Unless you live near a bar that was willing to pay the $750 to purchase the match or you want to pay $30 to watch it at home, you are out of luck.

So you should be blaming Guatemala. US Soccer had no choice, option or decision in the matter.

Yes, I know I posted that in the original post. I'm not blaming the US soccer camp, I'm just saying it would be cool if we could see them play. Nevermind.

You probably could have with the link I gave you (not the same link as what you posted).
