The match is not live on CBC (but it is live on Bold). So this may be an opportunity for some to watch the game live without having to order Bold or watch online.

Cool to see TLN is going to show the game. That being said, this is pretty funny:

"Canadian renowned world soccer expert and TLN sportscaster Alf DeBlasis."

He is one of the most boring sportscasters out there!

Ya, that's what you get from a promo email that reads like a press release.

I think he's pretty good as a soccer play-by-play announcer though. In either Italian or English.

I would take him over Nigel Reed, who is terrible.

That is good news!

BTW, I agree that Nigel Reed is awful and boring! People only like him because of his British accent.
