It's not a bad looking watch.

Any info on who choses the player of the game? WC officials? The Team? The watch company? The media?

It's a really nice looking watch, what I would call fashion forward. It might not go with the torn jeans though LOL.

This Tissot makes more sense. I read it was a Rolex which IMO would be too way over the top and extreme as a Player of the Game award, even for Ovie the Gr8.

On another note, doesn't he look terrific, smiling, relaxed and happy to be playing for his country again? Without any more Caps games to watch, seeing Ovie at the WC is just what I need to get me through the next couple of weeks, hopefully topped off with a Team Russia championship.
