Mihairokov Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 On 6/18/2024 at 4:43 PM, Watchmen said: They're down from about a decade ago, but up 11% last year. And still measured in the "hundreds of thousands", something we're only getting in soccer for the major tournaments. Just as an update, Week 2 CFL was down 12% versus last year - this is what happens when you try to go up against NHL playoffs with a Canadian team still playing, and they have another tonight going head-to-head. Seems like they've really sacrificed their in-game attendees by scheduling all of their games Thursday-Sunday at 7PM. Those Sunday night games must be brutal to attend. I'd be curious to see how TSN did last night between Copa and CFL. Know their numbers for Euros have been pretty good and Canada haven't played a big opponent in primetime like that in quite some time. I imagine they had a good number, similar to some of the WCQ figures they were drawing. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week 1 ratings were up 22% overcast year, which makes me think the "down 12%" is very much a specific case scenario of going up against the Oilers playoff run, as you mention. And yeah, I'll be interested to see what the ratings are for the Canada vs Argentina game. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes largest Canadian audience. Not that it's not nice see that many people watching soccer here but I find it funny that it is being touted like this. We have never been here before, probably not surprising less people in this country checked it out in the past. (Would have been interesting to see what the numbers here would have been if Messi started against someone else.) costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they could have gotten more had they put it on the main CTV and all TSN channels. They will have Argentina v Chile on Tuesday. Will be interesting to see how that does WestHamCanadianinOxford and Canuckia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigi riva Posted Thursday at 02:24 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:24 AM Hopefully with the success of this Copa we will see more friendlies organised and a return of Camp Poutine in January or Febuary when ever it was . One difference can we try some where other than Florida , first thing I dont want those Americans spying on us , and secondly there has got to be better places in the caribean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeRo_Is_King Posted Thursday at 09:24 AM Share Posted Thursday at 09:24 AM From 4:48, sounds like an offer had not yet been extended to David at the time of recording. But then he says there's a lot of interest and it is a matter of choice for him. He asks Larin about the thought process for choosing Mallorca. Sounds like he's weighing his options, but as they said, a lot of factors are at play. Nothing is concrete until an offer is extended.

CanadaFan123 Posted Thursday at 12:47 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:47 PM David is hilarious. What was it they were cracking up about regarding Larin being a horse rider? I replayed it a few times and couldn’t hear them. Also when he asks Larin if he graduated high school. Larin isn’t sure if he’s joking lol. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted yesterday at 03:55 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:55 AM I really wish we had a potential alternative for David later in games. He was a big part of our attacking plays tonight so definitely not claiming he had a bad game, but at a time when we were needing to change things up he is the one guy we don’t seem to have a “fresh legs” version of that we could trust in a big game situation. I am happy to throw on a guy like Tani or JRR for a tiring Larin. We have a wide players that can all be plugged in at various spots. But in the attacking half, it seems like David is the one guy where we don’t have a similar player so we end up being unable to freshen things up without changing tactics and formation. I wouldn’t mind having another player emerge that can play that pocket between CAM and striker. jhoops__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to solve the PK problem AND the valid concern you raise. jhoops__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago (edited) One nice thing about getting to the Semis is we have a guaranteed game after, and if we play for 3rd place Marsch can give guys tournaments minutes who wouldn't get them like Bair, Waterman, Choiniere, Piette and St. Clair.
