I think the more free(?) publicity TFC gets, the better.

But I bought my 50" Panasonic plasma last week from Bay Bloor Radio.
:D

It is cheaper to use soccer images than hockey and basketball, that is why when you see football footage in commercials alot of the time if you look closely, it is USFL clips etc.

Nice!

Interesting that they used the logo with permission of MLS; the hockey images they show don't have team logos.

The important thing in that ad is that they're pushing Blu-ray...which you all need to buy. Now.

Seriously.

Does CBC broadcast TFC in HD?

You can tell it's a photo and not an HDTV screenshot as the depth of field is all wrong for broadcast television.

TFC looks even better in person :) from my belcony in 111

and for that price you could have a pair of seasons for three years :)

Seriously.

Not to derail the thread, but unless you want a PS3 as your blu-ray player, I would wait until the summer/fall when the new players are supposed to be released...

:D

I just bought one too.

It is sweetness.

I am ready for full HD!

But so far...I have not been able to find a single TFC game broadcast in HD. That sucks...but watching the Man United vs Wigan match, and subsequent celebrations in HD was pretty sweet.

Futureshop and MLS are corporate sponsors. Whenever you go to futureshop they always have oone TV that has just MLS highlights and stuff advertising the league on a high def TV

The Canadian Newspaper Association (or one of the media groups, anyway) used a huge, wide-angle game shot last week as well that ran on the back page of the Edmonton Journal, full-page.

I watch some of the Saturday MLS games on HDNet, but I doubt any of those will involve TFC..

Saturday, July 19 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT San Jose Earthquakes @ Toronto FC

it's funny because the CBC doesn't broadcast TFC in HD, only the score does and then you have that stupid score update bar at the bottom. Come on CBC hook us up!

Sports in HD is amazing. If it wasn't for HD, last nights RSL v Rapids game on HDNet would have been unwatchable-the football was horrid but the picture was beautiful.

Actually they do, but only when they can free up the HD resources, which means hockey gets broadcast in HD first, then soccer. I'd hazard a guess that tomorrows game is going to be broadcast in HD.
