DISQUS

Derek Rae I miss on the commentary but I will never miss Tommy 'bulge in the olde onion bag' Smyth. If ever a guy was hired by muppets just because he has an accent.

Hey Gaffer,

Here in Canada the situation is different. We have Setanta Sports Canada, which most weekends shows 8 of the 10 EPL games (they show live one game at 07h45, one live at 10h00 and one live at 12h15 EST. They usually show a Sunday early game live and any Monday game live. Setanta is available via cable and/or satellite for $14.95/month. (month to month basis).

A 2nd choice game is shown at 10h00 on a Saturday on a basic cable channel (Rogers Sportsnet) and also the Sunday 11h00 game is shown live on a basic cable channel called The Score.

Fox Sports World Canada is simply terrible for EPL coverage as they have none. They lost the rights to Setanta/Sportsnet/The Score and are reduced to indoor soccer, Argentenian, and Seria A.

Setanta Sports Canada also shows Dutch, Scottish, French, plus rugby and gaelic football.

GOL TV Canada shows Spanish, German and a series of South/Central American games.

Hope that helps

Interesting about the FSC/Setanta synergy. Here in Canada, we have Fox Sports World Canada a trainwreck of a channel that has no Premiership coverage. Instead we sometimes have International Fight League, Indoor Soccer, US college soccer, two inane round table sports talk shows etc. We do have lots of FA Cup games and Seria A on FSWC, but other than that it isn't too good.

As well, I believe our Setanta covers usually 8 premier league games/week (1 game/week is on Rogers Sportsnet and 1 game (Sunday @ 11h00 EST) is on the Score sports channel.

I never realized that the Mexican GOL coverage was not the highest level.
