If you are planning on watching the USA-Netherlands Olympic match and don’t want to watch it alone, don’t you worry. U.S. Soccer is planning watch parties in several major markets so you won’t have to be alone on a Sunday morning screaming at your television.
U.S. Soccer is hosting viewing parties at Nevada Smith’s in New York City, The Globe in Chicago and Summer’s Grill and Sports Bar in Washington D.C. (well, actually Arlington, Virginia). So if you live near any of these three establishments, it might be worth your while to join your fellow U.S. national team fans as they cheer on the USA against the Netherlands (7:55am Eastern time kickoff).
For those of you who can’t make it to those parties, remember that you can watch the action on the NBC Olympic website, which has live streaming video as well as my live running commentary.
So let me ask you, where will you be watching USA vs. Netherlands on Sunday?
7:40am wake up roll over turn on tv (it will already be on USA)
7:55am once fully awake stumble out of bed to watch in HD in living room
Halftime-Breakfast!
9am-celebrate because my boys are moving onto the next round after an amazing upset of the Dutch…or plot out new Peter Nowak jokes and wonder why we can’t score damn goals
Hmm I could go to Arlington to watch the match, but it’ll be really hard to get myself out of bed on a Sunday. I can easily see myself watching it on my laptop in bed instead.
In the living room, split screen with the Italy-Korea game…
I will be in my living room on my computer. will NBC be showing it? I’m like clueless.
I’m almost positive the USA network is part of any cable or dish basic backage. You should be able to see the game no problem.
(if I even have access to the game, that is)
At home, happily in the same time zone as the game (though unhappily NOT in Tianjin).
At home watching it in HD.
I’ll watch it at home, and probably re-watch part of the opening ceremonies during halftime. Man, that was a show.
Da Globe! it will be a fantastic warm-up for those early prem matches
On the train watching on my laptop en route from D.C….Probably will be a big D.C. United turnout at the Red Bulls beatdown! D.C. will be “running a Bacelona” on Red Bulls on Sunday!
at my parents house in new york. our cable doesn’t come into the apartment until thursday.
I will watch it at home. Too early to go to a watch party.
watching the opening ceremony of olympics right now
7AM-USA v Holland
9AM-Breakfast
10AM-ManU v Portsmouth (Community Shield)
5PM-RedBulls v DC United
What a freakin Sunday!!
Good one cbr
I actually think this one’s going to be on the USA network, not MSNBC, which is good, since that’s the only network I’ll be able to see in HD.
At home on the laptop- at a decent hour from the website.
Hey Patrick lets start are own place here in LA, Let’s call it Just Soccer Bar & Grill..lol I know patrick I’m with you there is not places that I know that will show the game, unless is S. America, Concacaf Elima. or The Mexican League.
I’ll be watching it in my living room…unless someone on here knows of an Omaha, Nebraska viewing party.
i’ll be watching it at Clint’s Pogo lounge. We’re gonna pull an all nighter with exotic dancers and party favors
@Isaac –
You must not have the right package or don’t look at the guide since I’ve got Dish & will be watching the game. Not only is it going to be on MSNBC, I’m going to be watching the game in HD on the NBC Olympic Soccer Channel 098 – same as I’m watching every other match.
at home on the laptop
there are never any viewing parties in LA!!
Fireball, I’ll be heading over from either Astoria or UES, see ya there.
if you’re on the west coast the only solution is DVR/TIVO….or maybe i am just getting old
I will have to tape it as I will be playing in a charity tournament (American Cancer Society) at Giants Stadium and I have to be there before 8am
On my computer, In my living room. Dish network isnt going to be showing Olympic soccer. other than the final i believe since i dont think it’ll clash with anything else thats more interesting.unless they pull a world cup 2006 and show cup stacking in stead.
Maybe, but you find an easy way to get there from UWS at 7am.
I will be likely be watching in Amsterdam. The game time is a little is a little more reasonable here
What Tim F. said.
efnet #hoops & soccer
Oh wait, I misread it. Yeah, he’s lazy.
BFBS – I think he’s referring to Chinatown, not that he’s too lazy to go to Nevada’s.
Me, I’ll be in my living room in Jersey.
Aaron Im in Tucson too. Don’t know of any place playing the game though.
Beirut at a disco tecka (unfortunately)
At home in Berkeley, unless my wife somehow manages to come up with a clever way for the cable to mysteriously go out, forcing me to wait for a reasonable hour to catch it.
Fireball, as a fellow New York resident, I must say that you are one lazy something or other.
At 7:55am on Sunday, I’ll be at home watching the game and then taking off to see the Red Bulls beat DC.
…at 7:55am on sunday – from my couch trying to convince my wife that drinking a beer that early is ‘normal’ since local time it’s ‘late night’.
They need to host something on the west side. 11th/3rd might as well be Beijing for me.
Anyone planning on watching this out in Tucson, AZ? We enjoy our football out West, too.
At home. Very quietly.
Most likely in bed on my laptop.
