With kickoff approximately six hours away, it is time to start making those last-minute phone calls and preparations as the United States men's national team takes on Costa Rica in the only World Cup qualifier being played today.
The match, slated to start at 10pm ET on ESPN2 and Galavision, pits the top two teams in the CONCACAF standings against one another in a battle for first place. The United States has never won at Saprissa Stadium in qualifying and tonight might be their last opportunity to do so as Saprissa is set to close next fall.
Where will Ives be tonight? At no other venue than Saprissa Stadium of course. As for me? Well, I'll be watching the game from home as I missed out on my chance to fly to Costa Rica.
Tell us where YOU will be watching the game tonight and for fun, throw in a prediction or two in the comments section below.
I’m watching at the W Hotel in Westwood on ESPN 2
In Canada trying to figure out how I can watch the game. Anything ESPN is embargoed from Canada. It’s air tight here. You’d think I was living in North Korea or something.
On the TE Ranch in Cody, WY watching the elk outside the window and the 2-1 Yank victory on TV. And, drinking some Red Lodge Ales.

USA 2-1, finally breaking the no win streak at Saprissa in time to tear it down.
Does anybody know if Lucky Bar or Summers in the DC area will have the sound on for the game?
Either way, I’ll be standing in front of a TV in my USA jersey, Uncle Sam top hat and American flag shorts, screaming my head off.

Tir Na Nog in Philly, where we will be greeting our new (read: first) manager, Peter Nowak.
At home on the couch breaking out into a cold sweat every time Mastroeni makes a tackle. Ever since Italy… I think it’s psychological.
down stairs on the couch while my wife sits up stairs wondering why I dont love her. I live in a small house so instead of screaming and clapping all game long I pound my fist into the palm of my hand and whisper at the TV
