Oh, great to see Sportsnet broadcasting the game on a premium cable channel rather than a webcast during working hours for half the country so almost nobody west of Superior will be able to see the ****ing thing. (thumbs-up)

Yeah, it just seems like a no brainer to stream the thing given the time.

This is USA game to lose. Canada hasn't played well as a team and I don't think they will have enough time to gel as a team to beat USA. Hopefully Canada keeps this game close.

The US hasn't played great either. two 1 goal wins, Mikey Lopez is missing the game from yellow card accumulation. Not sure I follow the cynicism towards the Canadian team. This could be a great game.

They don't have the rights to stream it. The event's new media rights are being held back by the organizing committee.

That sounds like BS.

Why was Sportsnet able to stream the previous 2 matches?

Seems more like Sportsnet doesn't want to make the stream available while the game is on its expensive speciality channel.

Yeah I know this is CONCACAF but this sounds a bit fishy to me too. I've never heard of any broadcast rights being yanked part way through any tournament.

0-0 late. The Americans substitute in Kofi Opare to go for the winner after faking his passport so he appears to be under 20. Opare hammers Cody Cropper with a folding steel chair and tears off his US kit to reveal a Canada jersey. Caleb Clarke scores on 90'+5.

I'd take it.

Does Bret Hart make an appearance?

That's how it was explained tome. Clearly, there was either a misunderstanding on my part or something changed. Regardless, they ARE showing it via stream now.

So, will you retract your bitter, cynical take and instead thank SN for doing what it could to maximize the amount of people that can see this game and to improve the quality of broadcast that will be available?

We are quick to **** on SN when they don't do things o our liking. Maybe we should be a little more thankful for when they come though. A sub20 qualifyer isn't exactly a ratings killer...

What was bitter and cynical about Narduch's response? If anything he was just stating some healthy skepticism of an explanation you provided that did not seem to make any sense. Aren't journalists themselves supposed to have some healthy skepticism regarding the information they are given? Additionally I think we all appreciate Sportsnet broadcasting the games but that does not mean anyone should forgo the right to criticize them when there are deficiencies in their coverage.

4-1 USA

Aleman with the lone Canadian goal. Dasovic says he was proud of the effort and it's a learning experience for the team. He is named MNT coach the next day.

Hahaha yes. It's sad that this is funny, but it's spot on. that said, I'm confident we can pull off a result here. It will either be very tight for us (1-0 or 0-0) or a blowout, 3-0 or worse for them.
