Report: Closed-Circuit T.V. Only For U.S. Match In Honduras
No national T.V. for the Red White and Blue during their crucial World Cup Qualifying in Honduras.
Oct 2, 2009 12:34:46 PM
The New York Times is reporting that the U.S. National Team's vital World Cup qualifying tie against Honduras on the 10th will not be carried on national television and will be only be shown on 200 closed-circuit outlets nationwide.
After trying to sell the rights to the game to ESPN and Fox Soccer Channel Spanish company Mediapro, who bought the broadcast rights from the Honduran federation, struck a deal with Integrated Sports Media to show the game on closed circuit.
The full list of bars and other outlets where the game can be viewed has not yet been released but the report indicates that only 20-30 venues will be showing the match in English with the rest of the outlets carrying the Spanish language version.
The U.S. National Team could clinch a World Cup spot with a win over the Hondurans, and as always Goal.com will have full coverage. Noah Davis will be at the match and doing live commentary for those who can't make it to one of closed-circuit outlets, as well as post match reactions from the players and coaches.
