Wait what....

The US make more money than the FMF?...but they make enough that it makes sense to not play the game in Mexico?

Crazy.

FMF makes on one game ~70% of what USSF made in that entire financial year for outside friendlies.

Under new coach Javier Aguirre, the Mexican team won't look like it did during Copa America.

A little preview of his intentions:

My wishes for this friendly game Canada vs Mexico:

Santiago Lopez in the lineup vs Mexico and Santiago Lopez scores against Mexico

It needs to be a really solidly hit ball that deflects off Marcelo Flores' forehead and goes in for a goal.

This team is pretty weak. Only 3 guys who play in top 5 leagues and one is a backup goalie, while the other two play for smaller teams. No Alvarez, Jiminez, Lozano, or the rumored return of Herrera.

They need to start turning over their player pool, and quick. Even though the WC is still two years away, I don't think they have time to lose on this. Only two players in their 30s here.

Just proves that these games could be on TSN or Sportsnet if they were willing to play ball and not actively trying to sabatoge One Soccer

Mexico beat New Zealand 3-0 last night

It will be interesting to see our adjustments in this one. I think we're going to have a close match.

Is his wiki wrong? Nations League game does not captie him, correct?

Flores eventually made his senior national team debut in a friendly match against Chile, making his debut as an 83rd-minute substitute in the 2–2 draw.^[24] In May 2022, Flores committed to representing Mexico internationally, as he was still eligible to switch to representing Canada or England, having only participated in friendlies.^[25] On June 11, he appeared in a 2022–23 CONCACAF Nations League match against Suriname, officially cap tying him to Mexico.

Are you in Quebec? Feel like I haven't seen RDS/TVA sports channels on cable in a while...

[Bdog]

Too bad I won’t be able to watch but Mexico suck now lol, we got this. Not sure if he’s hurt but I’m interested to hear how Sigur does in our midfield if he does play. 

[narduch]

Rogers customers should be able to add TVA Sports if they have a Flex plan. 

[Floortom]

Poor attendance for Mexico’s match last night against New Zealand. Dont think it will be too tough an environment for our match but we’ll see.

They weren't available for a while outside of Quebec or way over priced. In recent years, ex RDS2, Quebec sports channels can be exchanged for other channels as part of Rogers flex channel plans. Used to be good way to watch all CFM matches. But now, with TVA Sports losing CFM rights, they seem to have allocated these monies to Euros along with certain UEFA NL/friendlies and Canada friendlies. Though, many in Quebec believe TVA Sports is dead after NHL deal expires.

For other team sports, it only gets you a few NHL/NFL games blacked out/not shown on SN/TSN, some Quebec team games from various minor hockey leagues & PWHL and Quebec university football.

The difference in your analogy is Canada doesn't have a large diaspora in the US and one that is much richer than the rest of Canada.

When I started the Kings, I was told there were a quarter-million ex-Canadians in L.A. Now I know why they left Canada. They hate hockey.

Yea, pretty sure it’s wrong. That counts as an official cap, but it was before he turned 21 and so he needs 4 caps (incl friendlies) to fully cap tie him. As of right now, he could come back.

Adekugbe called back  in to replace Johnston who has gone back to Scotland:

Makes sense to send Johnston back, hopefully he is good to go for the next match for Celtic

[Dominic94]

Will be nice to see Flores get pushed around in his cap tying match but a team he so badly didn’t want to be a part of….

Sam got minutes the other day vs Dallas should be fully fit. Great to see.

Win should get Canada to 33 with win

Yes, I'm curious whether we see many changes in the starting line up.
