Sinc_Tanc_Olympic_Action Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi everyone, I apologize if this isn't allowed here. I am just trying to get someone to help me. The Canada vs. Australia and the vs. Germany game will both be on weekdays, meaning I'll be stuck at work. No, I cannot get time off. No, I don't want to just watch the re-run because the time might not work. No, I cannot somehow record the games myself because I don't have the tools. Is anyone able to record these games for me and send them to me, so I can watch them sometime after work? I can pay maybe $15 per game. I know there is a website that sells women's soccer DVD's but I already talked to him and he is no longer recording for teams other than the USA. Hence I don't know if anyone here can do it. Even if you can't do it, can you at least tell me what times are the Australia and the Germany games? I see the times on Wikipedia but I don't know what time zone that is in?? And can you also tell me, is CBC not broadcasting these games? I read in another thread which implied this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe MacCarthy Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm not sure what the problem is, as CBC will likely have the games available On Demand by the time you get home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Joe, if it is like you said, there would be NO problem whatsoever. However, the issue is whether CBC would even broadcast those games. If they do, what time with the replay be on? I am not sure what On Demand is? Is that like replay? Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe MacCarthy Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm pretty sure CBC is broadcasting the women's games in full starting before the opening ceremonies (against Australia on August 3). On Demand is they have it available for viewing (for free) on their website a few hours after the game has been played. That is how I have been watching the Olympics on CBC because believe it or not CBC (English) is not available where i live. Speaking of work, I have to go, I'll try and get you proof positive later.

Sinc_Tanc_Olympic_Action Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks Joe! You've been so helpful. I checked out all the links you posted. So I guess I can download the app, and then watch after work? Just a question. When you watch it On Demand after work, do you see headlines that spoil the scores for you? Also where are you from? CBC English isn't available where you live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBC English isn't available where you live? I don't know anything about the portable apps but you can simply go to the website and click on the link and watch just like you can now with their regular programs. I can't remember if it was CTV or CBC (might have been CBC) but they really pissed me off because the link to the game was basically the final score. I think I wrote to them about that but it wouldn't hurt to start a writing campaign for them not to do that again. Most broadcasters don't do that so I was surprised when CBC did and the only reasons I could think of doing so were to keep people from watching the streams instead of live, which is ridiculous if you're going to the trouble of offering the streams. One good thing about watching online is usually no commercials but soccer doesn't have any anyway but it is cool to watch a whole let's say gymnastic competition and fast forward your way through it. There's quite a few places in Canada where the analog CBC OTA (over the air) transmitters were shut down and not replaced with digital ones.

Joe MacCarthy Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Just found this CBC help site that contains: Learn how to stream video and audio, use our mobile site and download CBC apps At the top right of the page you can send a request, I just did. I ask other folk to take a minute and do the same under Olympics and Olympics website "Will the CBC be posting the final scores (ie soccer games) as the hyperlink or near the links to On Demand content. It is very annoying and ruins the experience of using the stream. This happened on the CBC website at the last Olympics and was extremely disappointing for CBC to do that for apparently no good reason. As there are areas in the country that do not have CBC digital OTA service, we rely on the streams and hope that this posting of scores near On Demand links will not recur."

Joe MacCarthy Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 In case anybody needs some help finding archived games, you go to the main page then click on Schedule. When at the schedule page look for your sport and click on the block to the right (on the corresponding day that the event took place.) If you want to find Canada's first game you obviously go to the soccer row and click on the first block to the right (Wed Aug 3). This is where it kinda sucks that again they posted the final score, unfortunate if you've been trying to avoid it for a while. There are red circles with numbers inside them. One circle is for video, one is for articles, the number indicates how many videos or articles are available when you click on the circle. Now I come to the whole point of my posting. Once you click on the circle for video you'll find three videos, there's two vids for the Canada/Australia game and one for Germany/Zimbabwe. The third video (with a picture of Sinclair) is the game with CBC commentary. The first video has a generic Olympic graphic and is the international commentary. So if you want to watch the game from a differing perspective watch the international feed. Just a note, not sure why but the audio for that feed was horrible, the wild sound was too high and overwhelming the commentary which was muffled in it's own right almost to the point of unusability. I played with my audio settings and you may have to do the same if you want to listen to this broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 According to Sportsnet, all the women's group stage matches will be shown on the CBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like the crowd was decidedly against the Canadians in the first game. I listened to the CBC feed, and didn't get a sense as to why. Does anyone know if the international feed addressed that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinc_Tanc_Olympic_Action Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Thanks for all your tips, Joe. I did watch Canada vs Australia but sadly, I clicked on the wrong page and the score was spoiled for me. I'm not complaining though because I am just grateful that I am able to watch the games without paying someone to record it. rkomar, I honestly can't speak for this but I have, in the past, ordered DVD's from a man who recorded all the soccer games from the USA. The commentator was, you guessed it, Brandi Chastain. I like her, but I found that she was biased the other way - she was too kind to Canada and more critical of her own country. This was back when Canada was playing direct with long balls and almost no possession. I remember getting frustrated every time Canada got dispossessed, and there Chastain was, being so nice and polite about it. I understand Chastain isn't a commentator anymore. Don't get me wrong - I like Chastain. I like anyone who talks nicely about Canada but I've always wondered if she was like that just so people would not think that she had any grudges against a team that she probably didn't like playing against. Actually, I'm going to listen to the international commentator right now for Canada vs Australia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkomar Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I rewatched the international feed, and they had the crowd noise cranked up so loud that it sounded like the spectators were excited for every play. I couldn't hear half of what the commentators said, so I'm still in the dark. Maybe I'm imagining things, but even Herdman mentioned the crowd's antipathy in the postgame interview.

Joe MacCarthy Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I don't think it was anything against Canada, just that Australia was behind. I think if we hadn't have scored that early goal and were down to ten men the crowd would have been behind us. So I guess it wasn't just my settings the international audio feed was bad?

Joe MacCarthy Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think I figured out how you can get to the On Demand match without going through the page that gives the score. I wouldn't put money on it but I think I might have it right. The first game (Australia) was at:http://olympics.cbc.ca/schedules/related/discipline=FB/match=FBW400F01/videos.html the second (Zimbabwe) is athttp://olympics.cbc.ca/schedules/related/discipline=FB/match=FBW400F03/videos.html the third game (Germany) should be athttp://olympics.cbc.ca/schedules/related/discipline=FB/match=FBW400F06/videos.html Notice at the end of the link (before /videos) it says F01 F03 or F06. That means Group F Match 1, 3 or 6. Why the match numbers are named that I'm not sure, but they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinc_Tanc_Olympic_Action Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Thank you, Joe. If this is correct, then you're a genius for figuring it out. I will click on your third link tomorrow and hopefully I can get directly to the Canada vs Germany game without seeing the score. I want to be surprised tomorrow. Now, I think Joe's link will work, but if for some reason it doesn't and someone else catches it, please let me know tomorrow! After work, I'll come on here first before I go on the CBC homepage and risk being spoiled. Thanks again Joe and all you helpers tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe MacCarthy Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Well I wouldn't call me a genius just yet because CBC has been very inconsistent with the streams and also tipping the score on the highlight clips, just go with a glazed look in your eye ?
