As I type this, the US is playing Korea. I believe the game started at 10:00pm EST.

ESPN decided to televise Venezuela versus Puerto Rico.

Why?

I think ESPN had a hard time scheduling these because it was not going to be clear who was playing who at what time. My program guide says they are replaying the game at 1:00 am on ESPN2. They have a listing of when the games will be on at the wbc website.

btw they just changed the espn2 feed to the game.

Hmm...didn't change it here. I have tennis on ESPN2 (Atlanta). Guess it's GameCast on the web for me.

I would think that the day or two notice they had, especially when nothing else is on, would be sufficient.

I think they're just commies at ESPN.

I really should be going to sleep, anyway.

more importantly, the US is looking awful

i think they have a wager w/ the Olympic Bball team to see who can be worse.

I have so many tickets to the semis and finals and if the U.S. doesn't get in I don't know how I will sell them. I would then have to pull for Mexico to make the semis and probably won't be able to sell them all. I guess my way of betting on the U.S. was buying these tickets.
