2006 World Cup Soccer TV Schedule for Canadians ?

[canabiz]

Does anyone know if we can watch all 32 games this year ? If so what channel would carry the games ?

Also does anyone know if the TV schedule has come out yet ? Please post a link if it's out...i work from 8 to 4 and Germany is 6 hours ahead of us so most likely I'll be needing my recorder/PVR to record games and watch later on i guess

Thanks.

If you have Rogers Digital cable, you will be able to watch all of the games.
Not a paid advertisment, just a fact.

I have Rogers (channel 2 up to Channel 60) i guess it's the Ultimate Package

Do i have to sign up for the Rogers Sports Package ? I signed up for that last September and enjoyed the NFL season before cancelling it

Does anyone else know if the regular big boys like TSN, SportsNet, theScore will have any games ? i would be very surprised if they don't have anything. Soccer and the World Cup is just huge, sports and entertainment and commercialism-wise, great for advertising too

The prejudice idiots at CBC should be ashamed of themselves for not being interested to air such a world class tournament which always has good ratings in this country. It really doesn't matter if Canada is not represented when the very best in the world are competing for the ultimate prize.

Screw the CBC. Hearing anymore of Ron Mclean this summer would suck. He already did the Olympics and he couldn't have sounded anymore bored with it. Imagine him at the WC!
