I bought a month of TSN so now I can watch whole games and all the pre and post stuff. Watched Canada VS Switzerland this afternoon. It was like there wasn't a minute of down time, seemed like more fouls that decent line ups for goals - the voice over guys spoiled it for me predicting Canada's loss early on and constantly like depressing budgerigars.

There is no way I can watch 4 full time games per day so will still be watching re-caps. Hard to know which of the full games to watch in real time with so many choices.

People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

I have decided that watching highlights and full games are two separate things entirely. You know the score on the highlights and just watch the lovely bits. The shows in real time have so many fouls and nasty bits and you don’t know what’s happening until the final whistle. I watched a whole match and the ends of two others yesterday and all three of the teams I was cheering for lost.
 
I had one day of disappointment, not sure how you have handled decades of it Roger.
