    We need a new soccer channel, or at leasts get the world cup off that farce of a network CBC..Its bad enough we didnt get to see the pre draw entertainment, cbc focus as usual is to feed us crap from their boring in studio crew..they were telling us stuff were next for weeks, and that running ticker on the bottom was a farce...For the best future coverage for soccer in the Country Setanta Canada needs to step up and get the world cup coverage and then the cbc could just disappear..Gol TV Canada
    would also me a good choice, come on MLSE get the WC for GOL!!

    You'd sooner have World Cup carried on a channel that doesn't broadcast in HD, and is only subscribed to by tens of thousands of people, than a broadcaster like CBC that will broadcast the World Cup in HD and is available to the entire country?

    Never mind him. He's just likes putting down everything and anything. If we got such a channel, he'd be here telling us how crap that is as well.

    who cares about HD? why cant the cbc show a sport without adding a boring snooze fest from the studio? did they even know their was a pre draw entertanment show or didnt they bother to find out? and when the last games in the group stage are played at the same time..cbc and its ticker will give away scores of the games most fans will want to aviod so they can watch a replay of that game..but thats the cbc.

    Unfortunately you can't red card a person for being mentally disabled.

    You come in here and crap on everything and anything you can think of, then whinge when an insult gets thrown your way? What did you expect? A throng of cheers to your genius?

    And no, you are not right. Not even close.

    Mighty is it just because the CBC shows so much of the Leafs that you hate them most? I can't think of any other reason you'd hate them so much. Now I know you hate everything about Toronto but TFC (for now at least) could it be that CBC hq is in Toronto?

    Much like your other "solutions for improvements" I'd rather hear how we could see improvements to CBC coverasge rather than your simple "blow it up" mentality.

    how to improve it...well bring is proper soccer people to do the studio pre game shows, instead of using just who available today.. get rid of the color commentry and just use one announcer like they do in the UK..
    show a more commitment to soccer the just the TFC and world cup.
    thats just a few but cbc does not like critisisim just like the RPB so i doubt things will get done.. No i dont hate Toronto i was there last week, its my favorite city to visit!!

    Actually, UK broadcasters are using colour commentators more and more these days.

    I wonder if the thread starter knows that all the pre draw crap that no one really wanted to see anyway was streamed live on cbc.ca? Obviously lordtfc has an internet connection so he could have watched it. So what the hell is the problem here?
