#NCP

The Canadian #soccer world is in a bit of an upheaval, as far as broadcasting our FIFA Tier 1 league, the Canadian Premier League (#CanPL, #CPL) , #CanMNT and #CanWNT games.

Canada Soccer Business, which is the primary owner of all broadcasting rights for #CanPL games, and all national team games has severed its relationship with #MediaPro and #Onesoccer, the broadcasting and production company that broadcast (and produced) all the coverage of these games.

Just a few weeks before the start of the Canadian Premier League season...

Apparently, MediaPro is broke, and couldn't pay the licensing fee in the fifth year of their 10 year deal with CSB.

For fans, this means watching these soccer matches on television / streaming is completely in limbo.

If you have a OneSoccer subscription, cancel it ASAP. If you have a #Fubo subscription just to get the CanPL games (like I did), also cancel it. Fubo is $60 a quarter ($240 a year), and not cheap (it's almost double the price of F1 TV)

So two months before the start of the season, #CanPL has no broadcaster as Canada Soccer Business and Mediapro / #OneSoccer start what appears to be a messy divorce. Lovely.

Official numbers give HFX the higher possession for the half, and #OneSoccer claims they've looked more dangerous throughout.

I don't entirely agree with that analysis, but talking heads gotta talk.

Basic lesson: Ottawa needs to pull the trigger, as they are lining up to shoot. When the opportunity is there, stop passing and shoot it.

They get in the right spots often enough, but they just haven't been taking the opportunities. If they had, I think the pundits would have a different view.

So far, I've avoided spoilers for last night's #CCL match between #WhitecapsFC and #LAFC. These West Coast matches play far too late for me to watch live, so I'm watching the #OneSoccer recording now.

I'm expecting the 'Caps will return to their usual form and lose by 2 or 3 goals. But hey, maybe they'll surprise me.

I'll be back online after the match.

Already over-priced for the limited and poorly produced soccer content they broadcast online, #OneSoccer strives to further ingratiate itself with Canadian soccer fans (this is sarcasm, in case that wasn’t obvious) by implementing a 20% price increase. #soccer #Canada #sports #SoccerCanada #streaming

Last nights #CCL match between #WhitecapsFC and #RealEspana played too late last night for me to catch live. I've somehow managed to avoid any scores so far.

Thankfully, #OneSoccer has the match on-demand, so I've got it playing on my big screen now. Hoping for a good result for the 'Caps.

I'm turning off notifications for the next 2 hours.

@TMAN For comparison, up here in #Canada, we need a subscription to #OneSoccer to watch the match.

It will be in English.

There may be a French version, maybe, if we're lucky.

Any other languages are very unlikely.

@bee2216 Good point. I was able to watch the matches on the fubo streaming service, which obtains them from the niche #OneSoccer network. But actually having it carried on cable would make it so much more accessible. I don't know how much it is because I don't have cable service.
