Sportsnet, I owe an apology - we’re getting Mexico!
 
A few days ago I ranted about the lack of TV coverage by Sportsnet for the Mexico game.

And finally, many of you have been wondering about the broadcast plans for the Mexico match next week. Here’s your answer: It will be live ...

The must-win for Canada game will be streamed live on Sportsnet.ca beginning Saturday at at 8:00 p.m. ...

Lars, Lars, He’s Our Man!
