    I'm with Andy. This is my first go-round of this, and I'm hooked. I'll watch the HON match on TV praying for a point. If we don't get one, I'll watch the CR match with knots in my stomach, praying even harder for a point.

    Well Andy, the bad news is that it currently doesn't look like ANYONE is going to be able to see the Honduras match. Anyone that doesn't want to shell out $20+ at a pub, that is.

    The attempted selling of the tv rights to this match make the azteca fiasco look good.

    All you have to do Timmy is change the channel to Telemundo or Galavision, they're gauranteed to have it. Cantor in Spanish is better than JP and Harkes in English.

    Wait... What? Really?!? Even FSC didnt want it? Strange stuff - the numbers must have been total crap for the last few matches.

    Is it going to be at a strange time or something?

    I think the last one was at 6:00PM Central, which was broadcasting hari-kari here and on the West Coast, and i would imagine many's supper time on the East.

    I don't think it was a matter of FSC not wanting it, as it was more the Honduras Soccer Federation selling the TV rights to a company that probably offered the most money.

    And ESPN/FSC could purchase the US/English rights from this company, but it sounds like they are asking a far higher price than ESPN/FSC would want considering they will only make x-amount in ad revenue during the game, with that x-amount being less than the amount to purchase the game.

    It all comes down to $$$.
