We Get to Watch Men’s Olympic Qualifiers!

I can’t have been the only one wondering how I was going to watch the USMNT U-23s in the Olympic qualifiers next week, can I? Or the only one worrying that the gods of US TV sports wouldn’t consider them important enough to show?

Fear not. Fox Soccer Channel and ESPN Deportes are coming through for us.

All three U.S. matches in Group A will be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., with the U.S. taking on Cuba on March 11 at 8 p.m. ET, Panama on March 13 at 8 p.m. ET and Honduras on March 15 at 7 p.m. ET. Group B features Canada, Guatemala, Haiti and Mexico facing off on March 12, 14 and 16 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.

The top two teams from Group A and B will move on to the semifinals in Nashville, Tenn., where the winners will earn berths to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Fox Soccer Channel will broadcast both semifinal games on March 20 at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET, along with the third-place match at 2 p.m. ET and final at 5 p.m. ET on March 23 at LP Field.

As announced last week, ESPN Deportes will broadcast all 16 matches of the tournament as the exclusive Spanish-language rights holders. Along with ESPN Deportes, ESPN360.com will also show all 16 games live online, and will have a replay of each game available on demand for 48-hours following its completion.
