[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 620406, member: 44360"] The late 90's to early 2000's most games were televised by Rogers Sportsnet, than around 2004-05ish they stopped showing them, The Score picked up games after that and than we got a hodgepodge of coverage since. TSN now has most rights but they declined the away games and the Edmonton match last year very dissapointing. That's Fletcher's Fields a cow patch outside of Toronto, it's so bad the League team dosen't even play there anymore nor do the Ontario Blues. Even before BMO, home games had been moved to York University which at least was a capable basic stadium. Edit: I hadn't seen highlights of this in years, it was a great result but at the time was very dissapointing to much of the fanbase as we had a big lead that we blew. This really could have been a famous day for Canada with a win as it stands it was a good one with a draw. The Canadian side at the time was fairly strong, I think a lot of fans these days base Canada off of our dismal 04-08 run where we were absymal. Results like this are entirely possible today if we got players available, we had Italy on the ropes at BMO in 2012 but our scrum was dreadful and at Hooker we had Pletch playing. [/QUOTE]
