@dzuunmod He wanted to take it away from UK born terrorists and international law prevents him from doing that, I believe.

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@dzuunmod I don't believe citizenship can be taking away from those who are only Canadian citizens. David Cameron had that problem in the UK

Or if he'd just be too controversial/disliked here to even consider, despite that he is a good analyst.

Was strange hearing Owen Hargreaves on the Bayern-Wolfsburg match today. Wonder if TSN would consider going after him for World Cup?

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@coljung Yes they have sublicensed 4 matches each matchday (2 TUE and 2 WED) from TSN.

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@EvanS8225 It usually comes a bit after. I'd say sometime in November or December would be my guess.

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@teh_DR Guessing you've figured it out but TSN has it. Most weeks on TSN2 I think. When its not its on TSN GO.

@mattdubya @_danmcc ...Fox is associated with BTN. I didn't even know about it til after the game ended, but an odd quirk.

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@mattdubya @_danmcc Bit late on this, but the MICH-UTAH game was on BTN in Canada only (since Fox had US rights through Pac-12 and is...

@pkelamis It was due to them wanting to put FIBA Americas on more channels I guess. I know I was quite annoyed to tune in and not see it!

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@juicepiazz That would make sense considering an argument could be made that Lazio v Leverkusen was a better choice than Sporting v CSKA.

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@mattdubya @_danmcc So that explains where they are getting the studio coverage from.

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@mattdubya @_danmcc I did some research and turns out they have exclusive Australian rights (plus Middle East English too)

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@juicepiazz I agree. Meant to say #1 and #2 there, sorry.

Interesting that CBC will show major events from the IAAF World Championships live on CBC News Network including men's 100m, 200m & 4x100m.

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@Utd4Life78 At least we still get to hear Tyler here since he rarely does PL world feeds. Same with Mowbray.

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@Utd4Life78 No its not bad. Still think BT's (and even the Premier League world feed's) is probably better, but not bad.

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@juicepiazz I meant beIN had #2 selection each day (as in #2 selection on Tuesday and #3 selection on Wednesday).

[Josh @CdnSportsMedia]

@juicepiazz Surely you mean over the entire matchday and TSN took United at #1 and Celtic at #3?
