Is anyone going to be able to watch Canada vs Jamaica? Some weak potentials for die hards

20
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...

Sportsnet, I owe an apology - we’re getting Mexico!

0
A few days ago I ranted about the lack of TV coverage by Sportsnet for the Mexico game. Today I eat crow and recant my rant as they finally announced (via Gerry Dobson's blog), that they will be carrying the game and yes, it will be live. And finally, many of you have been wondering about [...] Click to continue reading...

Sportsnet streams Canada vs Honduras

53
Just in case I failed to mention it here before, Sportsnet will be streaming tomorrow night's WCQ vs. Honduras from Montreal. As for regular TV coverage, the schedule is the typical convoluted Sportsnet mash of times and delays that requires a PhD in media studies to unravel. The must-win for Canada game will be streamed live on [. Click to continue reading...

TSN/Sportsnet to co-broadcast Euro 2008 in Canada

1
TSN and Sportsnet will both be carrying selected Euro 2008 games, providing virtually full coverage of the tournament for the month of June. I say virtually because there is one day when Sportsnet is splitting the feed between East and West. On June 15th, Sportsnet Ontario & East will show Switzerland vs. 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...

The page focuses on Premiership, FA Cup, Serie "A" and Champions League - no MLS, France, La Liga or South America, and is usually updated Wednesday night. It also only lists the channels [...] Click to continue reading...

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.
