"Does Canada's men's soccer deserve more coverage after historic win?" This question asked on Sportsnet, who declined the offer to broadcast the match. Thank you to these two guys for asking the question.
Tim & Sid just work for SN. Hopefully the higher ups watched/listened to this episode.
@@Kipindahouse That's why I thanked them for asking the question. Like you, I hope the people at the top took notice.
not surprising this is the same company trying to ensure we don't get US superbowl commercials, and then turn around for weeks after on a show called "gotta see this" say here's some us superbowl commercials you gotta see. Sportsnet is grimey
Finally some love for Canadian soccer! More Footy talk on the show!
Coming back to this now, people are embracing it and I absolutely love it
Canada should have more coverage. This team is young with a few veterans that fit the team. Their on the rise and need way more attention
Lets hope Canada can qualify for the 2022 World Cup 👏👏👏
Yes
Aged like a fine wine.
@@bubbabear244 lol
The fact I got to see Davies play in Vancouver was good enough but this is amazing!
I am an American and I love you're candor about how we think of ourselves. This was a fantastic video.
These dudes are real.
3 great American feeds for soccer commentary are: (1) The Total Soccer Show; (2) Grey Hair Gaming; (3) ESPN USMNT coverage. All 3 can be brutally honest but insightful.
TSN used to show Voyageurs Cup, and TFC games...
facts!
One Soccer is more financially loaded then people realize. They have the money to buy out the rights exclusive. Which is what they have done for the Canadian Championship and Concacaf Nations League.
Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps and occasionally the Montreal Impact have their MLS games and when they are in the CCL is still on TSN.
TSN also got the rights for CanPL club Forge FC during there Concacaf League games against Antigua G.F.C. and C.D. Olimpia.
TSN has been fairly good at covering the CMNT, it's just One Soccer is loaded and buying rights to everything like no tomorrow, including Liga MX, Japanese Super League, etc. I think specifically to block and much bigger DAZN from running them out of the business. Dazn has scooped exclusivity with the EPL, EFL, UCL, and Europa League. I suspect both are competing for the Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga rights.
Among many other reasons, this is why I’m cancelling my stupid sportsnet now subscription and renewing my one soccer sub
Combined with Toronto FC winning a few days later, beating D.C. United, and the rugby team doing humanitarian work, all ahead of a watershed election? I visited Canada a few years ago, despite a rainstorm. It was the best moment of my life, visiting B.C. from California. You Canadians are the finest people. Keep up that form!
I knew this was happening, but only because I actually check up on these things periodically. If I didn't I would've had no idea. It's sad that a team with a real shot at qualifying for the World Cup in 2022 doesn't get talked about
I love Canada the people are so friendly.
The US is the most arrogant and overrated national soccer team in the world? Sorry, Sid, but evidently you've never heard of England.
Filipe Almeida England has err class and a word class league what does America have
@@tfc92221 Sure, but the arrogance regarding the English national team is unmatched. They believe themselves favourites to win every single world cup or euro they enter, despite perennially fielding mediocre teams with mediocre talent with consistently mediocre results.
Filipe Almeida I believe the media does that not the fans, I think there fans no where they are, Americans truly believe they are good at soccer and the media as well, btw England would be one of my favorites for the euros
is camming hoooom!
John Herdman for PM!
Seen the FIFA Men’s rankings lately? 😎❤️🇨🇦
USA is 22
Check again now ;)
33
Great video! Lots of insightful perspectives from the Canadian viewpoint. Should one of Canada's major channels picked up the game? Yes, it would have been great, but given I am off cable it would have been more convenient to know it was on a streaming service prior to the game (which I didn't at the time). No worries, lesson learned - I will be ready for the next one.
Love this team!
Since you guys are Co-Hosting 2026, you have to, get the people involved, get the kids to be immersed in the sport, a great football team can do wonders for your nations global brand.
If this game in vancouver bc 50000 easy.
the Canadian media thought Canadian soccer team will not win that why thought what is the point to televised the match or game
Congrats Canada. Hopefully this is the beginning of a new and exciting era for you guys and CONCACAF and hopefully the US wakes the F up after this.
I watched the classic CANvUS match in español.
Alphonso Davies is one of the most legit rising stars in football! But no, Sid, the US doesn't think they invented soccer. The US is a team that knows they're still looking for an identity since missing the World Cup in '18.
That's just straight-up Seattle banter. It's not serious, don't worry about it.
Well put: The US are a 'soccer nation'. For us here in Europe that sounds about right.
But kidding aside. We have the exact same situation in Germany: Sports coverage is 99% football (I mean proper football). Nobody knows Leon Draisaitl here. And that is also very sad.
Soccer*
Cincinnati thanks Canada for Joey Votto
Am I the only one who noticed they have pictures of themselves in luchador masks on their laptops?
Idk they were playing The score (sports app) didnt even say they were playing either like i love soccer as much as hockey but if its not a main event game they dont even bother with it
USA men’s soccer team is a nutshell
Ka Kjj I congratulate Canada for the win. They have lots of good young talent coming up, and it’s about time it isn’t just mexico and the rest of the region. I wouldn’t say the US is arrogant, just complacent. US Soccer as a federation, needs a complete overhaul. Ever since the T&T loss, it was so important for them to have a complete change. Regarding the comment Sid said about the US not wanting to leave the friendly confines, that isn’t the case for them, that’s what mexico does. The US has gone to Europe and beaten the Netherlands and Germany, while Mexico goes over to Belarus and loses. They tend to play lower competition in friendlies and beat them handily, then they go play a real power like Argentina or Brazil and get exposed
This comment did not age well 4-1. 😄😄😄😄😄😄😁
CPL is that short for Canadian premier league good luck
Canada should cover all our sports. Well our sports media should cover all the sections in Canadian sport.
I'm hearing about this game by watching this video.
Hence the point of the question posed
I have a question why there was no national TV? USA shows every soccer game on tv why Canadian tv providers don't do it?
Do you even live in Canada?
OneSoccer has the broadcasting rights, and they're a streaming service... it sucks. It won't bring in new fans at all, even if they're just casual fans.
@@KalmoK Not a relevant question
Sid the Canadian Stephen A. Smith.
Host nations are automatically in are they not?
In the world cup yes
Gentlemen... please...
undo the calamity that aggrieves thine mammaries.

With all due respect in the world, I can concur positively that this version of Canada is vastly superior to their usual attrocious self since Alex Bunbury retired, but you just won over a USMNT that's been in crisis for over half a decade by now.
And outside of this very game, so far you've either played with CONCACAF canon fodder or lost to Mexico, Jamaica, and El Salvador which has had troubles to beat former worst team in the world Montserrat.
What the USMNT did against Germany in the Confederation's Cup was indeed extraordinary and a milestone, there's nothing extraordinary in what happened the other day, paraphrasing Neil Armstrong you've just showcased you've taken one small step for a man in the right direction for Canada Men's National Soccer Team, but its still 240,000 miles away of being a giant leap to become a milestone to make Canada as a world soccer powerhouse or even a soccer powerhouse within the Americas.
So keep on playing, you're doing good, but don't let this small victory get you head over heels because there's still a long, long way to go.
The problem is, with all due respect, Canadian soccer coverage is not very good. Sportsnet footy coverage is worse than TSN's. At least TSN send broadcasters to the game. Sportsnet use to have play by play announcers do a broadcast off a monitor in Toronto. So I don't care about mainstream coverage in Canada. For major tournaments I watch the BBC and ITV coverage. Which is 100 X's better.
We have a soccer team? Seems it's nicely nestled just below women's hockey in my level of interest.
Ditto for your comment, now f off eh?
@@certocerto5276 Hein.
If canada can get a little bit more talent on in the back 4..... Canada has a legitimate chance
Great comment. Unlike previous incarnations of the team, the backline is what worries me on this squad.
@@OttawaRocks Nations league might be "a waste of time" for the arrogant USA program, but for a team like Canada who might just be going threw the biggest positive change in recent history. That tournament is HUGE. As of right now, Canada is in the hex. That is mind blowing, very proud of what this program has done, finally learning from our mistakes, creating some great talent.
@@HailHailCeltic14 The nation's league will likely be meaningful for all teams, albeit Mexico and the US will not see an immediate payoff. For Canada tons of upside can be seen.
@@HailHailCeltic14 And for the most part, no pay to play in Canada. Bigger pool to pick from.
Its football not "soccer" and we should develop every sport we can in canada or we will fall behind everyone. We need to get our youth interested in football.
It's soccer
Why didn't you two Muppets talk up the game more in the lead up? Oh, there was an Arizona State football game on the day before. My mistake.
Sportsnet gets all greedy. They want all the hockey, baseball, and basketball but when something important needs to be broadcast they've already paid for the rights so it's difficult for them to turn away. I'm SO glad that the Game 6 final NBA championship game was TSN's turn. Sportsnet deserved that karma. It's too bad the MNST got caught up in sportsnets bullshit
Actually, more times Canada attends the FIFA World Cup ... the more respect and even caution the USA will have ... the Americans act arrogantly against any team in CONCACAF ... and must learn to respect the team in front of them.
God bless Canada.
Womens soccer gets way more coverage because they win. Men get one win !!! So no, they do not deserve more coverage. Game was even on national TV, sad.
Albert Guss women play soccer men play football. Women’s soccer is the most boring thing I’ve ever seen. Women are just bad at the game
@@Timo8.2. Unless you are the #USWNT.
Pulisic is not overrated 😂😂
Onesoccer paid for the rights for Canada soccer
OneSoccer offered this match to Sportsnet and TSN, and they both turned down the offer.
I Love you guys! But Sid, if you are such a soccer purist, Why do you call it soccer? To most Americans Soccer is still a kids sport. We have a professional team here localy and i barely know anyone who is even aware they exist!
CBC should have to,
considering the government hands out money to those bums
That is lie that people know multiple people the only one I have ever heard of Alphonso Davies cause he went to Europe! We need more kids that are good enough to get Europe rather playing the AHL which is the MLS
If you wanna make soccer bigger in Canada, please learn how to pronounce Belgian team names properly, that was horrible to listen to...
...I don't think that'll make soccer bigger in Canada lol
Mens US team didn't even qualify for the last World Cup. No offense to Canada but the US Mens soccer program has been garbage for a while.
Yes but they've still been better than canada for so long
They qualified for the 2014 World Cup though, which is still relatively relevant.
MLS needs to improve
Canada slowly getting better
Also Canada started their own league which should help develop Canadians players
money and passion is why women dont get equal pay in the womens league.
@Cameron Gelinas that's debatable, in my highschool the women's team was always way better than the men's team. Some women are definitely as - if not more - talented than men in the same sport, and the other way around too.
@Cameron Gelinas the Canadian women's soccer team is way better than the mens team and has been for a long time! The mens team is just starting to get better.
@@TRB1497
That's NOT debatable... so far even the winning teams at world cup all lost against professionally practicing under 15, 16 and 17 years old BOYS selections.
@@keelyfallis5927
You have no idea what you're talking about. The north american ladies team profit from the fact they are of the few 'chosen ones' that actually can live playing soccer professionally... large majority of opponents they ever meet (e.g. like when US played Thailand AT WORLD CUP!) are women doing A REAL JOB and practicing at weekends, if ever.
That can't be compared to the male business in soccer where EVERY half-way competitive team is 100% professional, and you don't win games just because you went to the gym more often and can overpower opposition over 90+ minutes.
To even qualify for a world cup, men need to face more professional opponents, than the ladies would ever have to face to win it all...
Did they hoist a trophy? So why is it relevant?
First win against the USMNT in 35 years.
This game has a direct affect on our World Cup qualification. Also it's a big test for a young team just getting its legs and with a lot to prove. Love it.
It's a Nation's League match, and the win puts as at the top of the pool.
This is a stupid ass question
USA would dominate in Soccer if we cared, we have way better sports that our athletes play instead
It's the pay to play youth system that the US has. Pretty sure it's the only country that has that system. Can't develop a diverse player pool in that system.
@@bradleyhenry2411 never thought of this, but you're completely right
You wouldn't dominate anything in soccer. That's the same crap when people believe the 'best athletes' would be in the NFL, and they would do something in soccer... well no, they wouldn't. That's not the type of athlete you need for soccer at all.
@@Vickzq Exactly. You need week, skinny unathletic athletes in soccer
@@cognito8325
The NFL players, who need oxygen after every run...
i'll never jump on the soccer bandwagon....its way too boring
You should watch some before you say that
It's definitely just a preference, some people find basketball boring, I personally think baseball is boring, but that's cuz I never played baseball growing up. If you played soccer, you're more likely to like watching it
Liam Deschamps shut up liam soccer sucks
Liam Deschamps i alwways seem to find u on youtube comments😅😅
@@livecardofdoom lol no I won't. I thought it sucked too until I actually started following it.
No, because soccer sucks
No it doesn't Soccer ( football) is the biggest sport world played by millions of people around the world.
