I am a Canadian living in the States and I miss Don Cherry and Ron Maclean for Hockey Night in Canada

I feel for you man! I wonder if a Canadian (ExpressVU or Starchoice) satelite setup would work? It might be illegal for you to have one(dunno US laws), but you should be able to get the signal.

I think most commercials during the World Cup which aired in N. America were used on a split screen basis... you still had the game going on, but no sound while to commercial was on... I think most commercials were for Carlsberg anyways...

nope - ever since i started watching internation football (soccer) with the '94 world cup, there have never been commercials that interrupted play. they do have a very small image/ad to the side of the scoreboard overlay though, but it is small enough to be not noticeable.

I was in Denmark last year for it, the sports bars made a big deal out of it but just another boozeup for the locals.


Downtown Copenhagen got pretty crazy for the european 'football' games with lots of booze fueled fights and vandalism. Beautiful women though!

I guess that's all you really ever need.
