Macksam Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Never thought I'd see the day, but it's all about the Caps and the opener. That's what happens when you have a stake in something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Idk I just went there and I can't see anything on the match... I even clicked soccer and it was EPL stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksam Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yeah, they changed it afterwards. Well, now the post game report is front page at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 The game also led SportsCentre. And the Leafs were playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macksam Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 i am REALLY curious to see what the ratings were. Fingers crossed. Hockey night in Canada will pose a problem, but I have faith. As for ratings, the Nielsen thing comes out Tuesday right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Apparently ratings were close to 300,000 (according to a link posted on usector) so the expected bump occurred. Pretty good figure considering it was up against HNIC. I mentioned the soccer-hating *******s in my blog piece that should be somewhere on the main page or on Canadian Soccer News, well here's one in the media doing his best with a negative piece after the game - written before the ratings came in: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/soccer/put-up-or-shut-up-time-for-soccer-in-canada/article1948999/ Good to see him getting mercilessly slaughtered in the comments section.

Gian-Luca Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Congrats to whoever wrote this comment in response to the Dowbiggin article, pretty much sums everything up and much more entertaining: "A curiously mean-spirited op-ed piece. Put up or shut up or what? That's right fans, either you meet whatever metric for success Bruce Dowbiggin sets (ratings numbers, attendance figures, on field success), or he is shutting down Canadian soccer forever. Time to step to the plate -- otherwise Bruce will smash you over the head with it. You will have had your chance. What's that basketball? Got something to add? Shut up and get back in the basement, no one cares about you. And baseball, I wouldn't get to cocky either ... what have you done for us since the Expos left? While we're on the subject, time Canadians started supporting the CFL a little better as well. Or just close it down too, Bruce doesn't care either way. You're on your own little buddy, now be quiet while I head down to Buffalo to watch some REAL football. I'm sorry Hockey, don't let all this arguing get you upset. Bruce loves you, you are Bruce's special little guy! Bruce will never hurt you, there there. What's that? You have a little problem with head-shots and on-ice violence? You are having a hard time in Phoenix and Atlanta? That's OK! That's just you being you! Bruce loves you just the way you are! You can do no wrong in Brucies eyes ... mmmwwhhahhh! (kiss on forehead)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Unsurprisingly, it was in fact the most-watched MLS game in Canada, with 1.4 million different viewers tuning in at some point: http://www.tsn.ca/soccer/story/?id=359030 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
