Anyone who is a Soccer/Football fan in this country will be able to get the game coverage after all. No doubt some of you will have likely heard that SiriusXM customers in the States had to subscribe to the best of XM in order to get the coverage. SiriusCanada subscribers are getting the games for free.

When you powered your received this past Friday, June 11, you should have received an immediate but short subscription update. This update opened up channels 213 and 214 for live World Cup coverage. Visit the SiriusCanada website for a complete schedule, as this is front and center news on the site.

This is of no use to me personally since I find Soccer/Football boring to watch. It was fun to play though back in the day.

I cannot help but think this is one way that SiriusCanada subscribers are getting a bit of a break since we were short changed a bit in the merger. It appears there is a big enough demand for the World Cup that SiriusCanada can manage to do this for subscribers. I guess that’s something.

Really wish I could get into it though….

With hockey season now at and end and Chicago thankfully hoisting the cup, our sports attentions must be focused elsewhere. Although like many hockey fans, and specifically Toronto Maple Leafs fans, we are awaiting for the free agent market to open up, wondering if we stand a chance at winning a few games next year.

To Soccer fans, enjoy the coverage. Im going to read a few books or something.
