Club Linesman Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 9 hours ago, Ruffian said: This is the commercial played over and over on TSN. It would be a disappointment if they played this as much as they have and do not play the actual games. TSN will take Soccer Canada’s money for the advertising with no issue. But they won’t be showing the game unless they think they can make money on it. Luckily for me it’s in Toronto and I won’t have to rely on some shaky stream void of audio to watch our national men’s team play. Would love it if TSN got fully behind the team and started showing anything and everything. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work behind the SportsCentre anchors on TSN there writing scripts, and a game like this wouldn't even be in the highlight show unfortunately. Totally realize the games broadcast could attract new fans, but not sure how the viewership would be from a business standpoint. Should they really want it on TV, the CSA would probably have to throw the broadcaster an incentive or something. But come to think of it, the 9th falls on opening Sunday of the NFL schedule. TSN 99% won't broadcast this IMO. I wonder what the ratings are from NYRB NYFC game on tonight?? They seem to have replays of the Van and TFC games all the time to fill space. We play so few games its a shame if they dont show them. Although i have some good memories of watching sketchy streams with colorful local announcers....

Except on opening Sunday in the NFL there won't be any filler time really. Sadly the NFL games will attract more viewers than a CANMNT game, especially against USVI.

As a matter of fact, ever since the CSA sent a team to the World Cup qualifiers, we have been their biggest "Cup block" as they never made it back until 1990. It's really not some impossible feat, we're on track to go back to the way things used to be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_men's_national_soccer_team_results Jith12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Wouldn't the new Canadian Soccer Business group be responsible for getting this game on the air? I mean, the agreement they signed with the CSA includes: Canada Soccer, all corporate partnerships and media rights for Women’s and Men’s National Team Programs and grassroots programs So I'm just thinking if the game doesn't make it to air, it's not the CSA's fault this time...

I don't think so. Home federation sells media rights. So if someone gives a bunch of money to USVI to not show the game, that someone can do that.

I'm just saying that in the future, any complaints about games not being televised shouldn't be blamed on the CSA. It's the CSB that's in charge of it now.

Not so fun fact: Apparently Canada has only beaten USA in USA one time, in St. Louis in 1957. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSB is only in charge of the matches that the CSA has the rights to. If the rights for the Nations League matches work like the rights for WCQ matches, then the CSA does not own the rights to this match. They belong to USVI. So CSB could try to acquire them and then sell them to a broadcast partner, but it may not make financial sense to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two more recent games with the USA come to mind, the gold cup semifinal in 2007 and the friendly at bmo in 2012. We should have won both. nolando and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footscray Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Isn't this an official FIFA match coming up? If so I am surprised Busti accepted the call-up if he can be cap-tied here! hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
