Would I love to see the U.S. win this one.

Apparently we've scored in the 1st 10 minutes. Davies from Donavon

Don't know if you're at work or home right now, but if you are home it's on telemundo.

1-1 at the half not bad. Was hoping to see Altidore over Brian Ching, but I guess Bradley is going with experience.

Evidently, Univision, who owns Telemundo, bought the game. Then, when ESPN inquired about buying it, Univision demanded about 3 or 4 times what ESPN would normally pay for a game like this. So, ESPN basically said "screw you" and Univision put the game on Telemundo and mun2.

You probably could have watched on mun2 in English though... Comcast and most other cable companies gave all subscribers a 1 day preview of mun2 so that they could watch the game. It was the first smart thing Comcast has ever done.

Sportsguy (Bill Simmons) went to the game. It's a great recap of the insane atmosphere at Azteca

I didn't realize Landon Donavon had the swine flu. He must have been exposed to it after getting pelted with drinks on that late minute corner.

I heard reports that he was getting pelted with things far more disgusting than drinks...

There are reports of him feeling ill in Miami, before the team even boarded the flight to Mexico.
