CBC gets the Champions League wrong

I was watching the first half of the Vancouver Whitecaps-Toronto FC match for the Canadian Championship (now showing on the CBC Sports website), when I heard the main CBC commentator say that the winner of the Championship would playoff against the Nicaraguan representative, and then the winner would enter group play at the beginning of 2009.  That's not correct; group play actually starts in mid-September and continues through the end of October.

Maybe the commentator misspoke -- not impossible, it's extemporaneous speaking after all -- but I would have thought that he would have had a clear handle on the facts of the tournament.  And they're not hard to find either, as one can go to CONCACAF's official site or a number of other websites like this one.
