Sportsnet, I owe an apology - we’re getting Mexico!
A few days ago I ranted about the lack of TV coverage by Sportsnet for the Mexico game. Today I eat crow and recant my rant as they finally announced (via Gerry Dobson’s blog), that they will be carrying the game and yes, it will be live.
And finally, many of you have been wondering about the broadcast plans
for the Mexico match next week. Here’s your answer: It will be live at
9 p.m. ET on all Sportsnet channels. We have been criticized lately for
providing sketchy information on this but trust me, dealing with
broadcasters in Latin America is entirely unlike anything that happens
in Canada or the United States. Assuming we can get satellite delivery
from these places, which is not always a sure thing, we will be airing
all Canada’s matches as long as the matches continue to matter.
Ya thanks Sportsnet. I know it’s gotta be tough with the lack of soccer popularity in this country to make all naional team broadcasts available, but us fanatics and Canada supporters, Thanks
