Yeah, that's right. Two baseball games with no Canadian teams get priority over Canada's national soccer team.  |
SNet was just as bad. Football, 3 of those same baseball games, and the 2nd round of the golf tournament...and Sportsnet showed the soccer game. Its one thing if its a grainy feed from Panama, but this was in Canada, and on the same network.
Pathetic coverage when this is a pretty big deal. A year from now, in the final round and hopefully on the verge of the WC, the networks will be all claiming themselves as Canada's soccer home and draping themselves in the flag.
Great result though. Seems like a long time that Canada's ever had more possession than that of a decent opponent. Pretty solid all around, and just goes to show the team itself what it's potential is.
Pull a point out of Tuesday, and things are looking really good for that final round which of course, as I predicted last year, qualification will somehow ensue just by getting through to that final round.
