Isn't it the same as any other sport? There are a few 'free' (OTA) matches every week but then paid options for superfans beyond that? Yes, you can watch niche sports for free because market size differences. In Canada anyways, soccer is the one that's gone the most to paid options. Even the Canadi...

It's the reverse here in Canada

Champions League and EPL were on network tv between 1990s and 2015. Now it's all on Fubo and DAZN.

TSN still holds the rights for international soccer but don't know for how long.

Soccer is just becoming inaccessible. Eventually the World Cup will be on Amazon or something.

Now I watch curling, it's free.

It's just stupid. 20 years since, the NHL still doesn't have goalline technology. Antiquated sports like soccer, rugby and cricket are way ahead.

Yeah they are tearing those, along with everything else, apart.

I need a scouting report from the soccer coaches here

fun fact

Sean Monahan is the only player in the league to play 83 games this regular season.

Cast aside by the Flames at 26 years old, with a 1st rounderer included! Then Montreal traded him and got another 1st rounder!

The Coyotes organization tossed Shane Doan’s retirement banner in the dumpster and it was recovered by a fan and given back to him.

Clear red card. Barcelona just self-destructing. At this level, you should be able to purposely defend with 10 men and not give up 3 goals.

It appears he's ok.

Seems dumb for a 4-12 team to be using a pitcher to pinch run in April. Those are playoff decisions.

Is the catcher Diaz that much slower?

VGK signs Hanifin to an 8-year extension. $7.35M AAV That's a pretty good contract for Vegas. The Flames keeping him with that contract would have just been the wrong move. They would have gone nowhere had they extended Hanifin (and the others). The Flames needed to start rebuilding, and thankfully...

Andy, your timeline is right. 48, graduated HS in '95.

Is there an extra year of school in the US?

I was born in 76 and graduated HS in 94.

Let's age ourselves, where were you when the verdict came down. I was in 2nd year university and students were huddled around a small tv in the food court.

I think this is what is screwing Manoah for example, not enough rest time between pitches with the new clock. Sports is now max effort all the time. Why have a starting pitcher pace himself to pitch 9 innings when you can get 5 pitchers to pitch 9 innings all fresh and throwing 95+ fastballs and 85+...

Yordan Alvarez is exactly who we all thought Vlad was going to be. Someone needs to unplug Vlad and plug him back in. Vlad is a bust comparatively to his near triple crown year.

Thin Vlad is just as unimpressive as fat Vlad. At least fat Vlad was having a good time. Thin Vlad just looks sad most of the time now.

Financial update from the new general secretary. Even getting a financial update from the organization just seems like a breath of fresh air. Australia spending 112M and breaking even is impressive.

Huh? What kind of rule is that? You can't block the bag if the ball is in the glove? So are they only supposed to do swipe tags now? And no more blocking the plate when the catcher has the ball?
