Watch for the Day 8 Live Stream Links on: http://www.softball2013.com/

Based on what happened the previous few days, it usually around 5pm EST when they add the days links to their web page.

We still recommend paying for each day of the streaming. The video is good even though most of the time the announcers are barely audible.

Last night for the Australia vs Czech Republic game the announcer was good, good voice, lots of comments with the flow of the game, still only slight echo. We had a conversation with the streaming people yesterday and told them the audio was a problem and they seem to have listened. Its nice to see they silenced the air horn that was waking up the household the night before.

6:15pm ESt and like many people, according to Twitter, I have been trying to get onto the streaming to watch the Japan vs Samoa game. No Luck! I wrote to the main contact I have for the streaming at 5:40pm and at 6:00pm and so far no response!  We know they are playing as the iscore is up and running and Japan are leading 1-0 in B1
 
We will try to let everyone know what is going on as soon as we find out.  
 
 7:15pm and a note from the streaming crew with apologies, they were having a lot of problems and think they fixed it, but its NOT FIXED YET!

7:25pm and NO streaming yet.  We know they are working on it but as @PlayByPlay21 said on Twitter a few minutes ago, one would think by Day 8 they would know what they are doing. Apparently not. This is a Critical Day guys, let's get this thing fixed!
 
 7:45pm EST and we have live streaming at long last!  Thanks to Louise and her crew for fixing it. She had a big challenge, they are blocked in NZ so could not see the stream to fix it. but they did.
 
 8:50pm and streaming going well and even the announcer is clear tonight, no echo effect.
USA off to a good start, 2-0 in T1.
 10:20pm and USA lose their slim lead in a rush, now ARG 9 - USA 2.
Muizelaar came on in relief and gave up a grand slam. 
2 out and Adam Lalonde, full count, dives into 1b, keeps the US alive
Chase Turner 4th batter, out.
A mercy game 9-2 for Argentina
Mark Sorenson says this is the lowest showing for USA in ISF history.
Nice game by Lucas.
 
 
Next up will be New Zealand Black Sox vs Australia.
 
11:20pm and introductions of the Black Sox and the 2004 world champion Black Sox team led by Don Tricker.
 
Fantastic audio and video quality tonight, they are picking up the feed from SkyTV so Quality feed.

Good Haka tonight, and Steelers marched as a team up to them. #Chills
 
Very good crowd in the park tonight, and with extra cameras we are getting a much better look at this great park.
 
Coverage is awesome, well worth the $5.00 each day to watch. #Quality

Folkard is on fire tonight!
 
Absolutely fantastic listening to Mark Sorenson tonight, so much insight into the game.
Basically he is the colour commentator. Imagine having him teamed with Kyle Smith at the ISC's!!!
 
 T5 and all tied up 2-2 - Brad Rona home run.
 
T7 and bench clearing after Shannon hit by Folkard!

for everyone wondering what an umpire says..your getting an earful of it tonight GREG POHL is doing a fantastic job.

Pohl has a mic on him and everyone is amazed to watch him keep control of this game. Amazing job Blue!

Kudos to Randy McNabb too on 3b keeping control after the bump on the run down of the Steeler.

Blue earning their keep tonight!

wow unbelievable job by that blue. 5-4-3-2... Bartorillo cocked that bat, coulda been very ugly.

 2:27am T9 3-3 tie. Can you stay awake Canada?
 
NZ won it in ten innings
 
CANDADA VS VENEZUELA
 

Where did the Fans go? Apparently there just a host crowd not an actual Ball crowd -

I am shocked at the way the crowd emptied the stadium.

Great ball, but guess if its not Black Sox, head to the pub.

3:25 playing ball

 5:37am Canada goes down 3-1 to Venezuala
