Reminds me of the announcers on low level American soccer broadcast, who talk about anything except the game as they obviously don't know anything about the game. Adam Jenkins.

He usually does a lot better job then that, if you have nothing intelligent to say, just say who has the ball, especially early in the season when we are getting familiar with the new players.

Lurker Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'm really warming up to Dunfield. I thought he was good last night and has improved quite a bit during the stretch of Canada National Team games he did. He had a tendency to get really excited in the moment, similar to a fan. I notice now he waits before he does his color commentary. Last night in the 58th minute, Morelli almost ripped Giantsopoulos hands off with a blast... I immediately thought, "What a rocket"... Dunfield waited until after sequence finished and then as York worked the ball out from the back came in with his "What a rocket" comment... which was much better timed as a color commentator. Note: The fact that I thought "What a rocket" and then Dunfield said "What a rocket", could mean I need to take break from watching these guys for a bit. 😀 MM3/MM2/MM, chalms04, RJB and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if One Soccer has a lot of subs now and gave these guys all big raises and more security. Perhaps Jenkins and Wheeler have let it get to their heads a little.

red card Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Caribbean sports broadcaster Flow Sports has signed not just for 117 CPL matches but also for 12 Canadian Championship matches and Canadian national team friendlies. Flow is in 500k households over 22 countries. Deal is for 1 year with option to renew for another year. Looks like the angle they're playing up is the Caribbean CPL players. https://mediaprocanada.tv/en/news/Mediapro_Canada_seals_deal_with_Flow_Sports_for_live_CPL_coverage_in_the_Caribbean Trois Reds, johnyb, narduch and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-g-williams Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Just noticed this on the MediaPro website. Sounds like we'll be getting distribution deals similar to what we had for the Island Games in 2020. "MEDIAPRO Canada is set to announce distribution deals for the media rights to Canadian soccer with broadcasters in the USA, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and Asia, bringing the Canadian game to a global audience." https:/mediaprocanada.tv/en/news/Mediapro_Group_key_player_in_the_growth_of_Canadian_soccer_since_2019 narduch and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 FIFA has launched their own streaming service with the standard label of FIFA+. Available in 5 languages but will have another 7 by June. https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/home It will be ad-supported but may become subscription-based down the line. It may also be available as a broadcast channel. It may also go into social and gaming (apparently EA & FIFA are rumoured to be breaking up) with shoulder programming during the World Cup. It will broadcast 40,000 matches this year. The focus will be on underserved areas such as Angola, Denmark, Mexico, and Poland. It will broadcast 11,000 women’s matches. For example, live matches listed for tomorrow are from Nepal, Mongolia, Denmark, Brasil & Mexico. It will also include 2,000 hours of archival content, plus documentaries and docuseries. The service aims to reach 200 million unique users by the end of this year.

Saves the hassle of sketchy streams.

Each featured match will be streamed on League1 Ontario's YouTube Channel, which also hosts a vast archive of every L1O match that is played throughout the season. League1 Ontario will also be unveiling a revamped website in the coming weeks. The full 2022 schedule will be uploaded exclusively to that new website. However, until the new website goes live, the full Men's Premier schedule can be found here. Regular Season schedules for the Men’s U21 Reserve Division, and the newly introduced U19 Division, both of which kick off in early May, will be published the week of April 4th. toontownman, Kent and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-g-williams Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Question for the Fubo TV users out there: Does a Fubo subscription get you all of Ligue 1's matches? I know that Ligue 1 has split the rights a few ways for their domestic broadcasters, but I'm less clear on how it works with beIN, Fubo and OS here in Canada.

Not sure if that means you get all the matches but you should get more. I actually re upped my One Soccer to monthly. My plan is to do the yearly Fubo subscription starting August 1.
