Cblake Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Sportsnet tonight announced that they will be broadcasting 13 of Canada’s WCQ’s in a partnership with OneSoccer announced tonight. This is great for the exposure of the national team in this country in what many are calling the Golden Era.

king1010 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Maybe just in time for some additional game day ticket sales to sell out the 15k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Thank god I won’t have to rely on the hit and miss One Soccer streams. still happy to keep my membership but the likelihood of stream issues for these matches is way too high .

Bdog Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I was kinda hoping it would be a different crew so we didn't have to hear Wheeler. Great news though, so many more people will be able to watch now. I have OneSoccer but it's so much easier now that I don't have to connect my laptop to the TV, my stream sometimes skips on my laptop too. Plus PVRing games is a bonus.

Lots of sports fans that are not necessarily big soccer fans will tune in. Now the boys just have to put on a good show!

This was always the one missing piece. Yes, just because it is on tv doesn't mean people watch. 30 years of being on tv has shown that. Canada will need to win regularly, quality of play must be perceived to be good and style of play can't be viewed as boring to get more than 100k. Concacaf shithousery delivers pure entertainment value but it won't be everyone's cup of tea (i.e. Euro snobs and people who just watch North American pro leagues). No agreement announced with French channel yet is going to turn off a lot of people.

Now the games can be found by the channel surfers, can’t say enough how big this is. Canada Soccer ⚽️ is getting great coverage tonight on SN Central coverage too.

Kettles Porter Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Any chance that Onesoccer offer some discounts, additional perks, or even a few months of free content, for existing subscribers who won't bail because of this? A couple PSG matches a month would do the trick for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markoaleks Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 well done to One Soccer - a great value all in- Canadian Premier League, France etc so good on them to get a return on investment (assumed) Still less per month/per day than cost of a pint many on this string will consume at the next 2 home matches johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always respected how much Tim cares about Canada sports in general. I remember how passionate he was when the men's basketball team lost to Cze Republic last month despite being heavy favourites. Then today he had a few of the players and media talk about the women hockey championship. If Canada Soccer is going to continue to grow (and us doing well in the OCTO will help) we need the mainstream sports media personalities to help! Well done Tim! johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
