I mean, it's annoying that the game is on BeIN, but this has been going on in CONCACAF for over a decade. At least BeIN guarantees that the game is consistently on most cable providers. It wasn't too many cycles ago that the only way you could watch Honduras and I think another away game was buying it PPV. And not residential... I'm pretty sure you had to go to a bar to watch that game. That was 2009 or 2010.
I'm trying to figure out (haven't started looking yet) if anyone is covering all the CONMEBOL madness. That shit is going to be insane.

My listing is showing the ARG game on BEIN, while the US game is on BEIND.

Yup I remember going to a bar in DC to see Conor Casey put the US through as the game was only available on PPV bar deal.

The unanimous Man of the Match, Casey scored the U.S.'s first two goals,[13] and was fouled to set up the game-winning free-kick goal by Landon Donovan. The win put the United States through to the 2010 World Cup.
Switzerland goes 9-1 in final group stage and doesn't win group.

Yeah, of course the same would have been true of Portugal if they had not won on goal differential. The European groups seemed awfully uneven this year. If Faroe Islands can get 9 points in a group, that says something is wrong.

I think they were drugged. No way does the entire team come out that flat in a game where you need a point against a shit team to go to the World Cup. After the first goal, they slightly woke up for about 3 minutes. When they applied pressure, T&T panicked. I don't know if it was too humid to continue pressing, but if they did, they would have gotten numerous counters. Just shocking. Omar has to go. Arena will be gone, but I don't know if that's on him. He came in with the team in a giant hole. He dug us out, then we fell back in.
I am still good with the lineup he put out, but maybe they were too worn out from the Panama game.
