madmonte Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I am not as long term in my obsession as many of you here. I've always watched football to some extent, but beginning with South Africa World Cup, my obsession started to grow, and now I'm one of those guys that anxiously tries to find net feeds to games like Saint Lucia (THANKS SPORTSNET GUYS!), and can name 50 Canadian soccer players offhand with only a few pauses for breath. In other words, I'm catching up as quick as I can, but will never have had the priviledge of watching the historic Canadian matches...I live more in the present. I'd like to think it's promising that more and more fans like myself are picking up on it and become fanatical, and I really like the concept of the Voyageurs. Problematic for me is location, I live in Medicine Hat, Alberta, so the closest I can generally get to supporting Canadian talent is in Edmonton, and that's still a 6 hour drive. Still now that I've found the Voyageurs and these forums as of today, I can discuss and share with you guys as well! Hope you don't mind another extremely nationalistic footie nut!

ThiKu Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 madmonte - there is also lots of CMNT and other Canada soccer chatter on TWITTER. ps-you can find loads of streams for club and country @ atdhenet.tv, firstrowsports.eu, atdhe24.net, sportsnet.ca, cbc.ca (FC edmonton games), and livetv.ru! (haha, ya, I don't have cable!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yeah man thanks! I found all that actually, although I only just started on the twitter feeds. The rest I've been using, I just found THIS forum a little late, it's really complete now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 As someone living in a more or less neutral area, you get the pleasure of also coming on here to watch the **** talk between Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver people, which can get really entertaining at times. Not as much of it lately as everyone seems to have backed off as it got really ugly a little while back. Pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 (laughs) I've seen it elsewhere and even participated in it, with the view that I prefer to watch TFC so I can see more Canadian content, although if Vancouver had a similar methodology I'd cheer for them since I've actually BEEN to Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
