CAN - GRE: Media Coverage


Toronto MB

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

It's that time again and I will be headed for the airport tomorrow morning en-route to Larissa to cover the upcoming friendly in Greece.

I will be doing my usual print and video stuff for RedNation Online and I will also be contributing a pre-match story and a post-match report to Canadian Press which should be distributed to some of the major outlets back in Canada.

Here is a brief schedule of what I will do my best to provide:

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 8th - TRAINING SESSION - MATERIAL ONLINE - 9AM EST (APPROX.)

- PRINT: In -dpeth post-training reports for RedNation Online and CP

- VIDEO: 3 to 4 player and staff interviews from training - http://www.youtube.com/rednationonlinetv

- PHOTOS: Training photos to be uploaded to RNO Flickr Stream - http://www.flickr.com/photos/rednationonline/

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 9th - MATCH DAY - MATERIAL ONLINE - 4PM EST (APPROX.)

- PRINT: Match reports for RedNation Online and CP

- VIDEO: 3 to 4 player and staff interviews post-match - http://www.youtube.com/rednationonlinetv

Thanks again for the continued support. Our coverage in Ukraine was the biggest CMNT success to date and no doubt the Voyageurs are to thank for spreading the word!

As per usual, send questions or interview requests via e-mail - or post in this thread:

Cheers,

Hey All,

Really struggling with internet connection in Larissa to get these videos up.

In the meantime, here is the CP article I wrote (via TSN):

http://www.tsn.ca/soccer/story/?id=352967

A more in-depth story: 'Humble Larissa a fitting base-camp for Canada's 'Mission 2014'' - will be up shortly on RedNation.

I hope the videos will be up within a few hours - Stephen Hart, Atiba Hutchinson and Milan Borjan were the selected guests this morning at training.

Update soon,

MB

Yes I did! Here's proof - Atiba Hutchinson:

Milan Borjan:

Stephen Hart in the pipeline as well. Hang in there guys!

CANSOCFAN:

I definitely enjoyed writing that one more than the 'generic-ish' CP story, but hey that's the business we're in....

Thanks for the kind words!

Uploading these vids had been a nightmare boys! I need a beer!

Thanks!

While you were unable to get Atiba to tell you who was going to start up front he said something about David Edgar playing in midfield...interesting!

Max - great article. Now I know why you missed the gathering earlier tonight at the team hotel. And for the record, we drank your beer for you :) Look forward to finally hooking up and seeing you at the stadium tomorrow.

PS - where's finchester when we need him. Would have loved my arrival via military helicopter airlift from Athens into the Larissa local air force base earlier Tuesday morning. Beats the military escort to the washroom in Kyiv :)

Great work Max! The CSA released their own video albeit 30 seconds and off of a cell phone camera (ok the last part isn't true), how hard is it for them to release videos and promote their own team? In a world where Facebook and Youtube offer FREE advertising the CSA is really behind the ball. The CSA would work miracles for themselves just by hiring Max to get some interest in the team, but I guess they rely on the voyageurs for that.

That's the video its an interview with Atiba basically just saying some of the same things he said to Max
