World Cup Qualifying Third Round Match Day 1: Canada Honduras - Thursday, September 2nd, 2021 - BMO Field, Toronto.

I'm not seeing it on my Sportsnet guide but really hope this is true. Even if it's the OneSoccer feed, it would be nice to not have to watch at 720P.

CSA flying drones over Honduran training sessions....

We've got drones? Or just really fat crows?

[dyslexic nam]

As I was blasting between threads, I literally just got nervous about tomorrow.  Had been perfectly calm until now but suddenly I feel jittery.

Is Wheeler doing the game commentary for SN? 😊

LOL.

We can't afford to call in more than 23 players but we have a drone team. Sure.

Maybe it ain't a drone but an arfield. Drop some of that poutine-stuffed haggis on their asses. (I really do not like Honduras.)

Gentlemen and ladies of Toronto: How many Honduran nationals you got living amongst youse? We got lots out here in Vancity. Hoping the 15,000 are mostly there to support Canada.

Very interesting (49 matches is all but 7 of the matches that will be played in the Octo).

My guess is TSN has the rights to all the US home games

[SpursFlu]

Being proud and united behind what you're playing for. Who knew that's a good thing

I am only half keeping up with this.

Am I to understand that One Soccer will now lose all of the Canadian Ocho game to TSN and Sportsnet?

No that wouldn’t make sense because TSN purchased the one off OneSoccer. It’s more likely they couldn’t get all Mexico’s home matches except for the Canada game. Then the 7th match is that aforementioned USA match.

No - OneSoccer will still have the rights. I’m assuming all that’s happening here is that SportsNet is buying the OneSoccer feed

I would imagine the matches will be aired on OneSoccer in addition to the TV broadcasts, aside from the USA match.

TSN purchased the USA-away match directly from the rights provider, not ONESoccer. If it was Mexico-home matches they didn't have access to, then that would be 7 matches + Sunday's game (which makes 8 matches).

It would seem they have an agreement with all the FAs except US Soccer.

Source? Unless OneSoccer is lying this doesn’t compute. OneSoccer had the rights prior to TSN purchasing them for Sunday’s game. We know that OneSoccer also has our away game vs Mexico so that would be 6 missing + 1 (Sunday). 
 

Mexico actually draws huge numbers so it would make sense. Why would TSN buy the USA matches?

I don't think TSN bought all the USA matches, I just think ONESoccer couldn't buy them (priced out?).

I think ONESoccer never actually had the rights to all the away matches fully negotiated, but Kurt, in his arrogance, tweeted that all matches would be broadcast by ONESoccer. He was counting his chickens before they hatched.

Edit: I don't actually have a source. This is my speculation.
