USA v Mexico - Gold Cup Final 2011

[TerryPhelan]

Does anyone know if there are any TV stations available in Ireland showing this on Sunday night - or will I be condemned to watching it online? I know kick-off is 6pm over there but not sure what time that translates to over here... Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure about the TV stations, but it'll be on at 2 a.m. Sunday morning Irish time. I watched the semi-final games online and noticed a fella that was using a Skysports stream, so maybe they'll show it.

Its on British Eurosport 2 live at 2.00am.

It will be a very interesting game, the US started off the tournament poorly but have improved over the last two games. Mexico have been opposite, flying at the start but their last two have been tough. Chicharito and De negris have been scoring as has Dempsey for the US. Mexico are slightly better than the US but the US knows how to play them.

Looking forward to this one. As usual, they'll kick lumps out of each other. The game is at the Rose Bowl, which has a capacity of around 92 thousand and is sold out. So, expect to see around 20 thousand US supporters...;)

Viva Mexico! Put another 5 past those *******s.

Really looking forward to this. I haven't watched the tournament much yet, but USA were a perfectly decent outfit in WC10 and Mexico played absolutely brilliant football in SA, but without a killer touch. The difference in class when they played England in Wembley in May 2010 was unbelievable, yet England won easily.

Beautifully elegant but woefully ineffective is what I thought of Mexico a year ago.

Mexico are more talented but their problem over the years is a lack of maturity. The US will play them tough as usual, so tomorrow night will be a good gauge to see if Mexico have learned their lessons on how to deal with the US team. Bradley and Jermaine Jones in the middle will be kicking lumps out of Mexico, trying to bait them. One win in 12 years on US soil and that was against a depleted US team. No love lost between these two sides:

Good game so far. 2-2 at halftime. Thought there would be more tackles flying in, but it's tame compared to past games between these two. Freddie Adu looking impressive.

I guess 4 will do...thank you Mexico!

Entertaining game in the end, this is a big step for Mexico especially after going down. However, they'll have to send a big thank you note to Howard and his defense. They were a shambles.

Don't think its worthy of a thread but SSN is reporting that Jurgen Klinsmann gas been appointed as US coach.

Yeah, I'd read on the BBC that Bradley was "fired" (not sacked) the other day.
