Canada hosts two exhibition games vs. Nigeria this week: Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET in Toronto and Friday at 8 p.m. ET in Winnipeg. You can stream both of those live on CBCSports.ca

least cbc will be showing games

 

[MikelArteta]

They're playing Nigeria at Mattamy (old maple leaf gardens) on the 7th I think.

Haven't looked at prices but I went to the game against DR last summer and got 2 tickets 1 row behind courtside for a little over $200.


It's a shame that DAZN has the rights to everything and nothing will be on regular TV. They need to do something about that. This shyt should be on CBC

I'm going to the game tomorrow. Got kinda crappy tickets but Mattamy is small enough that it should be fine. It actually sold out which is kinda cool and never happens

But yeah good on cbc for doing this. Someone needs to step in and take the rights for the World Cup from DAZN. Kills the potential exposure by having it in a streaming service most ppl don't know exists

Yeah the good seats were waaay more expensive than usual.

I once walked up the day of a game against Lebanon at Ricoh and got courtside tickets for $50

They're in a group with Lithuania and Australia. Gonna take alot of luck to win a game and even get out of the group

Word is Cory is considering pulling out now too. Wouldn't even blame him. Why risk yourself if no one else gives a fukk
