Petition Livescore.com for Canada's League

[Unnamed Trialist]

As many are aware that go to livescore.com, they do not list Canada as having a league. Let's get them to change this.

All that appears is USA (MLS) on the front page, then inside USA- Major League Soccer. They also list the 2nd tier as USA-USL1, which is an error as well.

I have written using the link by clicking on the site name at the very bottom right, takes you to:

As I wrote about this as a live score data error, they replied saying that comments on league names should go to General Enquiries.

So let's do it: write livescore and ask them to identify both leagues as USA-Canada. There is no reason not to, they have other composite names and longer ones there too. Explain why, with new Canadian teams coming in and an increase in Can content.

Also explain correctly the proper name of the current second tier in North America, though this does not concern us here as much, what I want is for the league to be recognized as bi-national, with Canada there.

Done

why not use flashscore.com ? It has live CSL scores games already.

It is not a question of my use, as I get my scores where I can. It is because livescore is a big site and as Canada fans we need to let them know that MLS is a Canada-USA league and that USL/NASL are legitimately North American.

So we don't get ignored as a soccer playing nation with pro teams in a league. Let's raise Canada's visibility on all sites that are ignoring us.

I consider what they do to be accurate. It is an American league and i see nothing wrong with them listing it USA-MLS. The only thing we have is a domestic Cup competition, if they list scores for the V's Cup it should read Canada - Canadian Championship.

Unofrtunately, these are the things that happen when you play in an American league. We are guests in their system, and as a result, can't expect anything other than being a Canadian club in an American league. Now, if Wales listed the English league as their domestic league, beause they have a few clubs in their, then maybe I'd change my mind.

Apparently, they are going to fix it.

If they do the guys here saying we have no say and are a bunch of hangers-on in an American league will be really disappointed.

Seriously, great news. Can you tell us how you know about that Free Kick, will be great if they do.

(I suppose I could have simply argued in my letter to them that their advertisers, mostly online betting, were missing out on a potential Canadian audience attracted by the idea of betting on Canadian clubs).
