No, because if i was watching it on TSN GO then the league would actually exist instead of being talked about as if it did exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper1917 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Im not sure about TSN go but I kind of like the USL set u for this season. Their website has live feeds/stats/discussion chat for all their games being streamed with You Tube. Its very user freindy and the game broadcasts range from very good to so so. Might be an option if it was not picked up by one of the big sports networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 ULS is great for me as I live abroad. I can also watch the matches after they happen as the kick off times don't always work that well for me. Would be great if the CPL did the same.

matty Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Zambrano on the World Cup and CPL "Canada will benefit immensely because just as '94 signified a kind of game changer for the United States, likewise Canada," remarked Zambrano, adding that a professional league -- Canadian Premier League – is in the works. "We will have eight years of big play. This is very, very important because improvement of the U.S. national team is directly related to MLS and so will be for Canada, the World Cup, the CPL." http://boxscorenews.com/zambrano-canada-already-looking-forward-to-p140483-68.htm Seems 2018 is still the plan at least as far as he is concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if using a YouTube based service is a good idea mainly because YouTube streamers in the gaming community are widely mocked. While the USL can get away with it, a league with the CPL's seeming ambitions might suffer. A friend of mine who makes a living off of YouTube also quit streaming because there's no money in it on YouTube (even when you have a million subscribers). I do think every team should have a YouTube channel and that games should be archived on it maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, I'll give an actual answer: If you're looking to have a professional league that isn't solely dependent on the butts-in-seats revenue stream, TSN GO isn't going to cut it.

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't compare gaming where there is a better alternative that is much better where you can literrally pay people money to skip ads and spam emotes with CPL.

Don't tell me what to do Note: I wanted to post the Chappelle's Show clip where Guillermo Diaz says "You're not my fucking mom" but couldn't find it so The Room will do. It's somewhat a shame cause the Chappelle's Show clip is glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just looking over who follows the Twitter account to see if anyone of note has followed since I posted that list. FC London has (let that fuel excitement for London being in the league) and Puerto Rico FC's Ramon Soria did. Lot of press, agents and fans did too. While this definitely isn't news, it's interesting to see who's following the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that posts everything from the CPL subreddit https://twitter.com/CanPL_FC has some big followers like Zambrano, Beirne, Rob Gale, Al Marcina, SEA, Soccer Nova Scotia, Ontario Soccer, a few L1O teams, a handful of CanMNT player pool players, reps from MTS, FCE and OFFC.

Rheo Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Ahhh sweet, thanks. I follow that, although I hardly ever hit the subreddit. That's good to see it get some traction. Like you said not news but interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheo Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just listened to Soccer Today (Rollins and Laramee) pod from today and Paul Berine is going to be on Thursday. They said it's to talk about his time at Brighton and them moving up to the Premier League but I can't see them not asking about the CPL at least a little. However if they don't ask don't get mad at me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Boom sources have just told me that the official ball used by CPL is going to be spherical in shape and that all of the franchises will be located in Canada. You heard it here first so keep watching my podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Poor Totera, did his parents never read him the story of the boy who cried wolf?? We need more people to be excited as he is, but yipes!!! If he ever has a big scoop I think his head will explode before he can get on air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
