Is anyone picking up the game Thursday? Anyone aside from ESPN2?

I was hoping Gol TV would pick it up.

That station usual sucks for updating their schedule.

The game doesn't appear now. Hopefully they add it later.

I will at least be watching on an online stream - I was hoping Gol TV was going to show the game, but I've heard from a few people on the forum that they're showing something else instead.

Gol TV is notoriously slow at updating their schedule though.

It wouldn't shock me if they do end up showing it, just with very little warning.

Fuck, does Gol TV pay someone to update their website?

Do they even have a programming director?

It always seems like they are asleep.

Last year as I recall they showed almost every ESPN2 match, but maybe that's not happening again this time around

My prediction is Paul Beirne sees this thread and the game appears on their sched.

Gol TV usually have to wait for La Liga schedule to be finalized – La Liga only posts their final schedule week in advance

Last time I checked, La Liga doesn't play games at 9:30 pm EST.

Really, do you expect them to play at 3:30 in the morning local time?

He seems to be the only one who can get shit done over there.

I think what they have to do first is find out how much it will cost to show this game. They have to buy the rights from MLS/ESPN.

For example, they wanted to show the MLS Draft, but how much MLS wanted was too much.

^ The game is in 2 days though. One would think that this stuff would already be sorted out.

You know how MLS operates.

examples:

2 days before the season starts and NO:

1. new site
2. you can't buy the $40 MLS package to watch games online yet
3. their fantasy site isn't updated

I am telling you, all their efforts are still into finalizing the CBA, then everything else comes next.

I am sure TFC have probably sent some new contract signings into MLS, but it will take them days to finalize it.

So here is a question, When will GOL TV go HD?

With the announcement that all TFC matches will be shown in HD I assume that GOLTV will begin HD broadcasts (at no extra charge to me) shortly..right?

Even the front page mlsnet.com doesn't show this weekends games.

Its not going HD.

It will be a similar situation to Leafs TV. Broadcast 24/7 as a standard definition channel, but when a TFC game is on, a special channel will be used to show the game in HD, if the cable/satellite provider wants it.

Can't really blame them though, as mls.com is taken by real estate agents.

Do you think she'll have her mustache on? Its her makeup and lighting people that should get fired. Putting a mustache on a hot chick, just wrong.

Agreed. I chatted with her at Football Factory last year up close and personal and she does not have a mustache...but she does have my baby :pbjtime:

I spoke with Danny Califf at the hotel in Seattle this morning and they are pretty excited about their first 3 being Seattle-Home Opener-Toronto. Should be a good game tonight with both sides up for it.

Alexi Lalas take on the grass on BMO field (not verbatim - but close):

"The new grass pitch at BMO Field will really help TFC, because, let's face it, it's not how much beer you drink up there, but how you perform on the field".

Fucking douche...
