It is sad there will be no TV, webcast. That said, our U14 girls team will be there at PPL and they are fired up!

Directly from a USSF spokesman to me: “The game in Philly will not be streamed or on TV.” I can’t see that changing with only 10 days to go, but crazier things have happened. Usually there is an indication by now, however.

The W-League’s Western Conference is tough this year, and there are only two playoff spots – this loss is going to make it an uphill battle for Vancouver to make the postseason.

Jeff — so U.S. Soccer confirmed to you or elsewhere that there will be no webcast, or is it merely the case that you are unaware of any commitment or plan by them, at this time, to webcast (along the lines of the New Zealand webcast last Feb., or the Sweden match last Nov.)?

Kinda sad, because I think some fans (me included) would accept watching the match on a fixed, single-camera webcast, much like the ones that many Div I programs use, to show games to fans/alumni, etc. Sad, also, because these are professional athletes. Also, presumably Gatorade, Nike, Kumho Tire, and all the other traditional major corporate sponsors of USSoccer would prefer for their sideline banners to reach an extra audience (online).

I also wonder whether US Soccer would delay the announcement of a webcast until the 11th hour, to sell more tickets? Also curious whether US Soccer staffing is limited, with USMNT in the midst of friendlies on 5/26, 5/30, etc.

thanks for your coverage of this.

It looks that way indeed. Waiting for USSF to confirm, but there is little chance it happened between 2004 and now so that is probably it. Good research there.

Looks like the 2004 Gold Medal game was the last match on broadcast TV (NBC):
