Canadian Soccer League - CSL

[Muserfish]

Hi anyone interested in this league. Its getting quite popular and more and more bookies (some of them dont even have a clue about it = opportunity to make some real money) are offering odds on it, statistics not too hard to find either. Now im trying as well to look for live streaming and more individual team news. Anyone backing me ??? Please let me know before i make the useless effort. Im willing to take care of the threads myself and links, odds comparisons .. news and all the required with all the comments you wish to make.

Regards.

Great stuff lets kick some a$$.

Ok so far what i discovered is that the league is not quite stable ... which means anyone can beat anyone - which in a way can be good, depends on how you see it.
One game per round is shown on the canadian channel Rogers TV which so far i dont think anyone can watch that from Europe. From this link you can still download all the videos of the games but it takes ages to download tht size of files.

you can try it if u want a few days after the matches but thts all i could find so far regarding streaming etc.

Regarding the league this is the official site : www.canadiansoccerleague.ca but you cant find much stuff in there. The league is divided into 2 divisions : International (where all the lets say non-canadian teams are like SERBIAN white eagles, ITALIA shooters etc) which consists of 4 teams, and the National division with 7 other lets say Native canadian teams (TORONTO FC Academy, BRAMPTON, WINDSOR etc). Still they all play each other - dont ask me how they plan the fixtures coz i got no clue, some teams played 7 games and others only 4 :-S (US/Can style).

The teams :
This is how i classified the teams depending on the points gathered form last 2/3 approx seasons. (note that Portugal FC, Brampton Lions and TFC Academy are quite new to the league form what i could find) TFC Academy is the youth team from the TFC that plays in MLS - its interesting how kids (Under21's) play in a major league.


Serbian White Eagles - 67pts Goal Diff : +27
Toronto Croatia - 56pts Goal Diff : +22
Italia Shooters - 49pts Goal Diff : +5
Windsor Border Stars - 43pts Goal Diff : +9
St.Catherines Wolves - 42pts Goal Diff : +4
London City - 22pts Goal Diff : -24
North York Astros - 20pts Goal Diff : - 8
Trois Rivieres Attack - 16pts Goal Diff : 2
TFC Academy - 3pts Goal Diff : 0
Portugal FC - (no stats apart form current season)
Brampton Lions - (no stats apart from current season)

please note the difference between the points and the GD ... makes you have a better vision of how the teams are. Still not knowing transfers etc its harder to predict. Like for example London city is not the worse team when considering this table but this season they Lost 5/5 matches with a GD of -17 ... sumthing changed for worse obviously.

Now .. some good links and companies offering odds :

Livescores - www.futbol24.com
http://en2.7m.cn/default_en.aspx

These are the ones i use, they are enough for me but if youve got more dont hesitate to post pls. The above are very good for stats and match info ... the chinese one the most (7m.cn), for example a couple of rounds ago 2 matches were interrupted before 80mins (which for betting purposes those matches had to be void) but futbol24 didnt even mention it ... 7m.cn they did straight away, so i reccomand tht - on the other hand that asian site has too much stuff on it which makes it a bit hard to load when there are many matches around.

Stats - previous 2 links are very good as i said but heres a few more
www.soccerway.com
http://www.wsn.com/football/league-t...division-2008/

Soccerway for some reason is not offering stats for this year but they got all you need form previous seasons. WSN site is very good and up to date for goals scoring stats, % won drawn and mathces lost etc and also they got a section with live odds. Cool

Bookies offering this league (most reliable in my opinion, there could be more but i dont know of or dont trust lol)

Bwin - theyre allways first with odds and they can be very wrong
Bet365
Expekt
Bodog
10bet

So let me know what u all think so far. Thanks
