CBS isn't putting it on regular TV channels. I'll be watching Univision.
I’ll also add that the audio on Paramount+ is annoyingly off, perhaps a second or two early, so you know a goal is coming before the player even takes the shot. At least in the Canada-Panama game.

Already switched to Univision.

Pretty damn excited I had kind of a last minute 2 night trip to Vegas for work. Heading to the Stadium now. Never been to a USMNT game before. Can’t wait to see the stadium as well.

That’s about as strong as it gets. I was wondering if Balo would get thrown into the fire and how many minutes Miles would get since he’s also on the GC roster.

It's going to be like that the whole game.
I’ve been to a lot of sporting events, Final 4, Super Bowls, NHL finals. I’ve never seen a place so insane 30 min before kickoff. The Mexico fans are awesome. It’s a sea of green. I can’t wait to hopefully go to the World Cup in Foxboro.

Maybe the best 1st minute I’ve seen the good guys play. Lots of good touches

Unrelated to GGG holy shit do the Paramount cameras have a shroud over them?

Is the Uni picture better?

Let's fucking gooooo. I'm pumped.
I have one journalist friend who tells me that a lot of players were pulling for this behind the scenes, not just the ones who spoke publicly.

Hilariously relative to the USMNT Twitter discourse, Aaron Long was pro-Marsch (RBNY connection).

Makes sense. There is no question the players wanted him back. Plus, he deserves to have a quality forward at his disposal.

Loud chant on the goal kick. Of course.
I would like to make the Mexican national team irrelevant if only for this reason. Does it make you tough to keep doing the chant? Is it funny? What's funny about it? Schoolyard bullshit and nearly worst of all it's not even remotely clever.

It’s completely moot with Berhalter coming back but this 4-2-3-1 really suits the available talent
Hope Flo gets real good at making straight runs into the box in between 3 defenders while our wings fire crosses that can't clear the first man.

OK I'll stop now, I don't hate GGG, really, but same old won't be good enough.

FYI, the late breaking news is that he likes "Balo" more than "Flo". Between him and Pefok/Siebatcheu, you just never know with our strikers.

"Flo" never made a lot of sense to me, because his name isn't Florian.

Yeah I like the 4-3-3 and it’s control in general but under Berhalter we really never had any serious attacking threat. You’d need to make Reyna into one of the 8s and instead he will probably be back on the bench
