Can somebody tell me how Estonia managed to get a friendly with Argentina and we didn't?

Bontis can only be in one place at a time.

For anyone renewing their OS subscription, you may want to grab Fubo instead.  The OS main channel is on it as well as other sports channels (within the app) - Bein being the biggest one.  I believe Fubo has the rights to EPL starting next season so the value for money made it a no-brained for me.  I figure OS and Canada footy stop get their cut but this way I am getting more for my money.

Holy shit!

[canucksfan]

Wow. I don't even know what to say. I feel like fans in Vancouver have been completely screwed over by everything.

[N1ckbr0wn]

Purely as a negotiating tactic, this is a terrible blunder by the players. If they were going to do this they should have made it clear all along, not waited until people had traveled to attend the game. All they've achieved here is angering many of the team's most enthusiastic fans.

EDIT:  They also wasted the Panamanian players' time, but I guess they didn't actually have a game scheduled prior to this anyway.

Cannot believe the Iran disaster somehow got even worse

[InglewoodJack]

For anyone who has travelled for this game, especially the Panama team, this is really awful, but honestly at this point you can’t do anything but laugh. Can’t even get your own players on the pitch? What a joke or an organization.

[CCrTFC]

They really took notes from El Salvador in Qualifying 

[SpecialK]

FIFA is going to come down hard on this one. They have too now, Iran and now this. 

[ShaneC06]

There needs to be several firings in the next couple hours by the CSA. This is a disgrace. Credit to the players for not backing down from these scumbags. BONTIS OUT!

The players better release a statement. I’m tired of hearing just from the CSAs side. If they want to persist with their strike they better have something say to all the little boys and girls whos Sunday they just ruined. (And mine too😂)

Seriously though, this is embarrassing and immature from both sides. Instead of having reporters do your bidding, maybe have someone come out and explain yourselves because I’ll tell you what, these boys will have ALOT of explaining to do

I don't know much of the financial details of this dispute, I don't think any of us do but not playing this match after the Iran debacle and bringing in a decent replacement just seems wrong to me! The fans were basically screwed around especially those who travelled for this and even fans such as myself who had planned their day around watching this match, on top of that the team misses 2 vital training sessions and a good friendly! It seems we just can't have good things when it comes to our MNT! grrrrrrrr

[Club Linesman]

An absolute joke and disgrace.  We truly are the donkeys of world football.  The only thing that is as bad as the CSA’s incompetence , is the short sitedness of the players by refusing to play the friendly.  Idiotic on both counts. 

[EJsens1]

Good for the players. Sucks the game is off but good on them for doing what they feel is right. Sucks for that fans who are there and travelled, I feel for you 

[Razcal]

Guess we know why they were out partying last night. Likely no intention to play this game in the first place.

This should have been communicated to fans sooner. Yes the CSA sucks, but the players have just burned a lot of goodwill with their supporters.

[InglewoodJack]

wow.

[canucksfan]

I'm honestly really upset, I've changed plans 3 times now for this game.

I know people who are already on their way from Victoria to this game, who's entire trip is now a waste of money.

I think the late notice from the players is a slap in the face to the fans. But I also think CSA should not have let it get to this point. It's shameful. This has become a complete disaster and I hope absolutely no one shows up to the game against Curacao on Thursday if it's played. I think the fans here deserved way better than this.
