So quite a big game for the US men tonight right in the heart of Tennessee at the LP field in Nashville.

 

Now I know it is a school night and Soccer is not that huge a sport in the State, but to be honest the marketing for the game has been non-existent. I would imagine there would be a good size crowd there maybe more than at US v Morocco a couple of years ago (26,000 +), but unless you are in the soccer 'community' most people have no idea the game is even on tonight in the local area.

 

Have US Soccer made the decision to just go after what they have and not try to entice any more 'non' soccer fans, how has the game been advertised / spotlighted in your local media?

 

p.s. Anybody going tonight?

 

 

 

going. hope we play better than we did against San Salvador - embarassing!

But why play on a WEDNESDAY night? Makes travel pretty hard for those who can't take time off from work. A Friday night game would have gotten much more attendance.

 

I just don't think US soccer plans things around their fans. I think they could use some positive P.R. Right now, with the abysmal result from the last World Cup, they could use all the good public relation that they can get.

 

Maybe I am alone in feeling this, but they certainly haven't done a good job in getting a good fan base outside of the die hard fans that would have gone regardless.

 

 

Dont think it has to do with the US organization...Most if not ALL countries are playing their qualifying matches today all around the world so its not just a US thing

On a side note: Honduras beat Mexico last night 3 to 1. Not a good start for Mexico with two losses. Fun game to watch.

Always love to see the Mexicans get beat. No fans treat our team worse than the Mexicans.

About 70 players, coaches, and parents went from Cleveland and it was a lot of fun, great effort by the Americans and really exiting game. (However we didn't get back to Cleveland High School until about 2:15 so today's school day was not too exciting) GO USA! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />
