Sportsnet has bailed. They won't be showing Canada vs Jamaica tonight, Neither will the CBC, Setanta, GolTV, TSN or the myriad of other sports networks in this country. I could rant about how this is another example of why we are a third world soccer nation. Regardless of the situation we find ourselves in, this [. Click to continue reading...

In case you haven't heard, Sportsnet's Gerry Dobson will be interviewing Jonathan de Guzman (Feyenoord) tomorrow. Don't expect the highly touted younger brother of Julian to declare his intention to pay for Canada. But still it's an important interview for Canuck fans. Will he stay or will he go is becoming THE question in Canadian [. Click to continue reading...

Both Sportsnet and The Score have some fine Canadiana soccer related content on their site this week. First off, check out Gerry Dobson's blog posting about being Loud n' Proud.

With Sportsnet dropping their Saturday morning EPL games this season (oh, how I'll miss the Saturday triple header), it was looking like EPL fans were going to be outta luck for live EPL coverage this season.
