Watching it now, Buzz. Huge hockey fan. Lots of fighting already.

I was also very interested in how the USA would be received.

WOW what an opening first 20 minutes. Heck, 9 seconds and three fights!!

I hope you noticed, @Buzz Rules, that we booed the American anthem but gave a very loud cheer to the anthem singer.

Is this real?

It's a joke... this is nothing to hockey fans though.

That’s why I asked, I truly wasn’t sure lol

It's been a terrific game so far.

And my fish stew came out delicious .

Congratulations on winning the bet. You’ll have to remind me a few days beforehand so I can find the game. What’s the date and time?

The bet was for the championship game. You still have a chance to win the bet and have me don the Canadian .

@prairie_girl , as an FYI, it seems Canada Soccer in its continued foolishness has decided to sell Canada's tv rights for the Concacaf Nations League to Onesoccer (a Canadian streaming service). The Canada vs Mexico semifinal will take place on March 20th at 10:30 pm ET.

The streaming service has a 30 day plan for around $13. I did not know this when making the bet and you are under no obligation of course to pay for a month's subscription. Therefore, if you do not want to subscribe just to watch one or two Canada national team games (unless you want to start watching CPL), I totally understand. I still have hope that Sportsnet or TSN will buy the tv rights from Onesoccer but I don't know how likely that is. So I propose a different bet for the championship game if you're up for it. If the USA beat Canada in the final then I propose that you and your family attend a professional soccer game within the next 5 years. If Canada wins, I won't post any new soccer threads until the Nations League final.

Oh, ok. I thought it was for this game. I think we should keep the original bet, but if I can’t find a way to watch the game, I’ll go with my husband to a soccer game. I know we have a team here. I think it’s called Valour. I want your ‘punishment’ to still be having the Canadian flag as your avatar.

Fair.

Their games are also shown on Onesoccer in Canada in case you want to follow the team in the future. CPL is a decent league. Just keep in mind that the level is equivalent to a minor league game instead of MLS. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great way to experience professional soccer in person for the first time. I look forward to you telling me how you are now a fan of soccer.

I will still keep my promise about the avatar.

I saw some of the game. I was tired and kept going in and out but was able to catch the entire third period. I feel it is very disrespectful to boo an anthem just because you do not like the leader of the country and that behavior should not be tolerated in any sport and world competitions.

It’s so much more than just ‘not liking’ your leader.

This is how you decimate the football (world) fanbase in Canada. Make it harder to access. I mean, most Canadians getting TSN/SportsNet and now they have to get a completely separate service just for a few games. If they can do it for the Nations League, don’t be shocked if Canada Soccer slaps their rights to FIFA World Cup into a TNT-style contract.
