I have been watching episodes of Mayday lately and hearing some of the communications it got me to thinking about Esperanto and why it didn't catch on.  I've had kind of a rethink about it and think maybe it would still be a good idea.  I read somewhere you could pick up the rudiments fairly quickly but it didn't look too easy to me.

Wow Esperanto! While backpacking many moons ago I went to Esperanto meetups with locals in the Middle East, 'Stans, and Asia. It was fascinating.. and a bit nutso. Mostly a way to enjoy soccer with locals who wanted desperately to say why their team was 'da best!' 😁

You will get some really funny material when you used Google translate.

A local radio station used to run a contest where they would Google translate something from English to another language and then again from that language back into English.  You had to guess the original sentence to win.

It’s so annoying the US game isn’t on One Soccer.  I pay for enough streaming apps.  I’m not doing anymore.

Anyone have a recommended free streaming site?

As @narduch said,   A Canadian broadcaster would have  to buy the rights from Fox in order to show teh US game in Canada.  That would not be any different for Onesoccer or any other streaming service.  Fox acquired the rights and pay for them to show the US games,  they are not going to give them away for free to Rogers or Onesoccer

Ideally, we win tonight and Costa Rica defeats Panama. I'm also happy if we earn another away draw, extending that streak to 4 in this round. Just keep the points coming.

Let's say we can only get 1 win in this window, with the other games being both draws, or both losses. Which game would you most like to win?

Is it Honduras to knock out our demons? Or is it USA because that is actually the most beneficial to our World Cup chances since they are a competitor, and Honduras and El Salvador WILL finish below us. My vote is a win against USA for what it does for our qualification chances, and of course the delicious tears. It certainly would be sweet to beat Honduras though. Maybe I take an 8-1 win over Honduras rather than a win against USA of any score line.

I'm soooo fed up with this type of nervous-Nellie hypothetical bullshit! We have one game in the next 24 hours and we're focusing on winning! Only winning. We're good enough to expect victory every single time we take the field. That's how my mind works with this team - Win baby! Let go of your fears and join me! It really can't be much fun supporting a first place team and hoping for one win in three games, with two of the games being against the last place and second last place teams.

I thought it was on ESPN2, at least that's where I'm watching it.

If you can only focus on one game at 7pm EST, which would you watch? Jamaica vs Mexico or US vs SLV?  

I'm thinking US vs SLV since they're our two other opponents this window.

I expect US to cruise so Jamaica/Mexico is the better watch imo.

[narduch]

 

[Floortom]

Pretty much US's best XI for the most part...I assume they will decently rotate vs us on Sunday and quite a few of these guys will not start

What....Having 3 games going on at the same time isn't enough?! I'll watch 1st half of Mex/Jam, All of Canada un-interrupted, and then the second half of Pan/CRC.

People would probably complain if TSN ran the US game against the Canada game.

Knowing how much our two sports networks worship everything American, they probably would.
