No commercial flying for our boys….  little different than the MLS life (with those expensive exceptions two or three times a year) where you have to have everything with an on / off switch in the off position during takeoff.

USA v Honduras - Updated Viewing List

The lack of broadcasting the USA v Honduras match is really annoying and frustrating. The closer the game gets, the more my level of frustration is growing. I want to blame somebody for this, but I’m not entirely sure where the blame needs to be aimed.  Instead, we are limited to a handful of bars around the country that have made an effort to get the game. Here is a list of bars that will be showing the match. I’m thinking about making the drive down to San Diego to catch this one.

If you make it out to any of these bars for the game, make sure you thank them for showing the game!
