Depends if you value Bundesliga and FA Cup (SNWL) more than La Liga, Serie A and Cariboo Cup (DAZN). Since I suspect DAZN in Canada will ultimately make a play for PL matches, possibly even stealing them from Sportsnet, I'd probably do that.

I believe in the Jays.
|
That switch is pretty easy then if I get both CL and NFL included. I should have cancelled SN World way back, I don't watch nearly enough on there to justify the price. I just hate the handful of PL games each season that are stuck on there that I want to watch.

What the hell?
I'm going to have to have like 10+ different sports channels? TSN has 5, SN has what, 4? And now theres going to be more specialty channels?
This is getting ridiculous and expensive.

I agree with you and I just can't believe how terrible SN World is. Seriously there is a game there now and again that I want to watch. The rest is filler, and even describing it that way is too generous. Replaying the "news" every half an hour all night is just pathetic. It's not even news, and basically offers nothing.
Then the actual sports content is negligible. There are so many events all around the world in many different sports that they could be covering, and instead you get none. No international rugby, no cricket, just nothing.

If DAZN can somehow secure hurling rights, they'll be unstoppable!

With all that absent programming, it'd be nice to slip the CPL in there.

I absolutely love DAZN - not only, but primarily because they are responsible for Sky's slow and painful death over here.

The only solution is the to cut the cord and follow everyone here on CP. Then rant like an expert just like you saw it

I'm thinking of finally getting DAZN too for La Liga. TSN really messed this up though. When they lost rights to the NHL, they could have been aggressive in snapping up soccer rights across the board for Canada and really eaten Sportsnet's lunch when the NHL contract came up for renewal.

Spain is tearing Croatia apart. 5-0 already.
Makes you wonder what they could have done at the WC without the Lopetegui drama. They'll surely ask themselves "what if" for a while.

I don't know, it's not like Spain were truly awful at the World Cup, they just dominated the ball without creating all that many dangerous chances. Perhaps things go different without the drama, but I don't think they were poor or anything, just not very dangerous despite owning the ball.

yeah, because Hierro took over a day or so before the tournament and played it safe. Don't think they would have been the same under Lopetegui. Not really a surprise that their first game was their best - that's the one they had prepared for with Lopetegui. Then Hierro took over.
EDIT: 6-0 now. Madness. It's not like Croatia is fielding a B-team either - Modric, Rakitic, Perisic, Brozovic, Kovacic, Vrsaljko, Vida, Pivaric ...

Croatia is playing the A squad...that is crazy.
Maybe Spain shouldn't have set their camp in turmoil by firing their coach a week before the world cup hey..

That dont care.
Its a friendly. Its a good squad to be sure, but they dont care. They just dont want to be injured in a nonsense international fixture.
The Spanish can say the same, but really? These games mean nothing, why are they even playing them?

it's a new tournament that has replaced the old WC/Euro quali groups.
Basically there's 4 leagues: the best 12 teams play in groups of three in League A, the next 12 teams play in groups of three in League B and so on. Results will determine qualification, seeding and playoffs for Euro 2020.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E...Nations_League
It's actually a neat idea. I'd rather have groups like Spain/England/Croatia and see them play twice against each other than top nations regularly having to play the likes of Luxemburg, San Marino and Andorra.
