While the 35 000+ crowd at Qwest Field is likely to provide a carnival atmosphere thanks to the Brazilian support, so far it appears that there will be no Canadian TV coverage of the match.
“I'm a little surprised that a game of this magnitude would not be on television back in Canada, I have to be honest about that,” Mitchell complained.
Oh so much faith have I in the CSA... I wonder just how lame those "late efforts" will prove to be. Did we not previously manage to have games shown on OLN during previous World Cups when other networks were already fully-scheduled? It's not as if the CSA hasn't had enough time to set up media for this. These guys give donkeys a bad name...As of press time, only Portuguese digital channel TV Globo (649 on Rogers) were a possibility to air the game in Canada. However, the Canadian Soccer Association has stressed that late efforts are being made to air the match on terrestrial TV. CBC may yet include the match as part of their Soccer Day in Canada festivities on Saturday, although the Stanley Cup finals are likely to override any such plans.
