And why isn't Albuquerque going to be broadcast?

I'm sure it conflicts with a dog show, or bowling or something.

Actually, I'm no expert on broadcasting rights but I'm not sure if ABC/ESPN are obligated or even have the rights to broadcast friendlies. I do know that ratings for friendlies are rarely any good.

However, 'soccer' is Fox Soccer Channel's middle name. Shouldn't they be doing something about this?

YES!

If it's the ratings turkey that ESPN seems to think, they should give up the rights. As I said, I don't know all the contractual obligations that might complicate things, but the USSF should do everything possible to get every USMNT game on TV. FSC is the natural place for that to happen.

Cletus is having a good game.

I feel so lucky to have him in Salt Lake.
I hope he doesn't get bored with Utah.

Both US goals from young players making their first starts for the USMNT.
