The date/time is right for the women's USA vs Hungary quarter-final, so my guess in "Yes", although:
- USA BB website stated earlier that the women's quarterfinal would not be televised and has not said otherwise since.
- My DirecTV online guide says it's a men's USA vs Switzerland WUG.
Anyway, I'm going to record it and hope for the best.
Thanks for the tip.
