USMNT Takes Over ESPN
The USMNT has migrated north to Connecticut ahead of their friendly in Hartford against the Czech Republic tomorrow. Along the way, a number of players have stopped off at ESPN's campus in nearby Bristol to appear on a host of programs to talk about the World Cup. Here are a couple of those segments for those who may have missed them:
Landon Donovan on SportsCenter: Landon talks camp preparations, Charlie Davies, England, and the team's expectations.
Tim Howard on ESPN First Take: This one is on the lighter side, with a little soccer discussion mixed in with some other topics.
Oguchi Onyewu on First Take: Gooch talks about his injury, the build up to the World Cup, and AC Milan, amongst other things.
It's good to see the Yanks getting a lot of air time ahead of the send-off series, and I expect the coverage to only increase from here on out as ESPN pushes to promote the World Cup and meet their lofty viewership goals. If I find any more videos of these appearances, I'll add them here.
