Gian-Luca Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Why is it so vital that the women have a camp immediately after a World Cup? “We can’t afford to have the men and women play in September, so neither of them get to do so in the name of equality” is absurd and helps no one. canuckgbp, grigorio, MtlMario and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) 26 minutes ago, king1010 said: The way I understood that, was the cost of the camp would have been $700K for 2 games(Saudi Arabia and S. Korea), Saudi Arabia would pay us $500K, leaving $200K for the CSA to cover, but that would mean they would also have to host a WNT camp also costing $700K, which the CSA doesn't have the cash to do. This is crazy. I get the CSA would have to put aside $200K (the net cost for the 2 MNT games) for the WNT but to fully fund $700K is madness. The MNT is being penalized for their success and resulting marketability? Btw, if the CSA files for bankruptcy all debts and contracts (CSA/CSB) would be null & void.

SpursFlu Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 The CSA needs to pay the players more because they're a mess The CSA has no money because they're a mess The CSA needs to spend more money because they're a mess The CSA spends too much money and needs to spend even more money to equally spend money on everything CSA creates more revenue when people engage with and support Canadian soccer but apparently the CSA is a mess so who wants to support a mess?

dyslexic nam Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) For everyone who jumped on board the Canadian soccer bandwagon during the good times of WC qualifying, I just want to assure you that you will eventually get used to the sense of frustration, confusion and mild nausea you are now experiencing. Your heart just needs to develop a protective and cynical callus and then you will be fine.

harrycoyster Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 1 hour ago, Alex said: It says we can possibly play Uzbekistan and Oman in the states in September. The reason why we could do this and not play in Canada is that Soccer United Marketing, the USSF/MLS affiliated for-profit marketing org, has the ability to leverage American tax law and their psedo-ownership of stadiums to host events that don't lose money. For the federation, it'll be cheaper to play two games in front of 5k fans in LA than to plan two games in Canada in front of 25k fans.

SpursFlu Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) I think the key is for everyone to ignore Rick Whitehead. Not easy since TSN is his platform.

Our youth boys’ and girls’ national teams need to develop the best players in Canada who go on and succeed at the international level because that success is going to drive the game forward.” ...

He definitely dialed back his one-sidedness over this issue in recent articles though, I'll give credit where due. DeVos was open and transparent on the state of the finances and his discussions with the players, internal CSA, CSB and government. That's what we all were looking for. narduch and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Well talking to the guy who is in charge now, and will be held accountable for what he says and might be able to effect some change is light years better than citing unnamed former CSA board members. The booking agent is also named, so we can actually see if he is believable or not. And by the end of the GC we will have had 8 mb 9 games this year already, and we are having players skipping GC because of too many games. Maybe throwing up a cheap domestic "poutine " camp for NA players and a money making friendly in Canada in one of the fall windows might be an answer?? Somebody smarter than me must be able to come up idea to play/ave a camp and maybe make some cash in return. I cant believe we are destined to play all our friendlies in the USA because its cheaper. How can we grow the game that way?? I really hope all this bankruptcy talk really is DeVos thinking out loud, because I dont think he realizes what kind of a shit show that would open up eh?
