CONCACAF Olympic qualifiers roundup

The CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament starts today in Vancouver. The top two teams will qualify for the 2012 London Olympics. Here's a news roundup, the schedule, and some ways to watch.

* Full Tournament Schedule

* Homicide Occurs in Hotel Housing USWNT
- the players were tweeting about this and then deleted everything, probably to avoid causing panic or confusion

* The Return of MagicJack
- not CONCACAF related, but the big story in American women's soccer right now, and directly related to USWNT players

* Christine Sinclair and John Herdman interview

* Abby Wambach interview

* Fierce Hope Solo interview


Universal Sports Network is broadcasting the USWNT games

CONCACAF TV is streaming ALL games live
- you have to register on the site to watch, but registration is free
- no geoblocking
- also they have a great archive of past games

Residents of CANADA, Sportsnet should be broadcasting all games in HD
This schedule should tell you which Sportsnet channel is broadcasting which match

If none of these seem like a good option for you, check the "uswnt" or "canwnt" tumblr tags on game days. Someone will inevitably post a streaming link.


ETA: THE SPORTSNET LIVESTREAM IS NOT GEOBLOCKED.

I'm personally rooting for the US to sweep the tournament, but I wouldn't mind if Canada came out on top.

These commentators are speaking the truth about Sinclair. So underrated, and deserves more respect in her country.
