Being as this is an ex-pats forum, and I am using the Canada section of it, is it not too much to ask to have a helpful answer rather than a smart alec one?

I think we are SOL on this one in Canada.

Even the digital subscription chanel Fox sport canada doesnt seem to be carrying it, but there are a few options for it in the US.

I note with dismay that "The Score" is not carrying the free premiership game on sunday this year:( that I used to get on my regular cable package.

That means I'll have to extend my "world cup only, honest dear" premium cable subsciption to get my fix :mad:

The sports bars will have it then; they most have US feeds.

Yes, I suppose. If they arent showing some dumb ball game or something instead.

I think we can be confident that, in Greektown, they won't have a dumb ball game. England fans might want to watch quietly though.

I'd try the Greek-Newfie bar, that's an "anything goes" kind of place.

Thanks for the responses. Sorry I was stroppy / grumpy - having a bad day and clearly got a sense of humour bypass while I was asleep as well.

Apologies all round.
