What a crazy game

Y'know what.  I think Honduras should host the next World Cup.  The rest of the world needs to see what its like playing in this region.

Let's fucking go. He's getting his first CanMNT goal tonight.

The team has arrived..

Supposedly this is their flight 
 

Panama had a team at the Toulon Tournament, they played two days ago, so that’s likely 20 less players to choose from. 

does anyone know the story with Panama playing a friendly with Uruguay yesterday?  They are scheduled for a game against Martinique today, so they must have sent a youth side or B team for the friendly?

I agree, there’s everything to gain by having a good showing.  Not securing a result would just give more fuel to the dumpster fire the past 2-3 weeks have been.  This is the last game on home soil before Qatar.

I hope the boys see tonight as a statement game. Curaçao is no pushover, but with the labour dispute fresh in everyone's mind, an excellent effort and a convincing performance would probably make their demands a bit harder to refuse.

Go Canada go!!

10pm here in the UK up at 330am to cheers the lads on!

These guys are professional athletes. This is no less discouraging for players than guys like Eustaquio and Laryea basically not playing since the octo, or David being extremely snake bitten in France, etc. Many of our players had difficult club seasons, and considering how players get paid, that would be more of a distraction than a CSA dispute.

Perhaps there is a Sigma/Smyrniotis link as well? Was he not employed by Olympiacos once upon a time? 

I hope these guys make a statement win on Thursday regardless of fans.
At this point, any thing else won't be a good look.

Basically a full time job

CSA is exempt, not players...players want the equivalent of 40% after taxes which is closer to 80% pre tax

their financial statements for 2021 are online:

revenues have doubled, but expenses have grown also.  i see no mention of concession revenues, unless it's part of commercial and other fees.

 

You're correct, we at Barça are sorting out the financial mess of our previous board. 
As you state, Barça refuses to sign away 50%of TV rights to an investment firm, British CVC, in exchange for short term liquidity because it would mean losing control of a key revenue stream for 50 years. It'd also appear as a debt, not an asset, so would work against us for financial fairplay.
So we are sacrificing not being able to sign certain players and possibly results and trophies to avoid this typical CSB-type solution where you solve the short-term with no view to beyond. 
However, it is Barça that sets up its own companies to exploit aspects of its business, then leases limited non-controlling percentages to third parties, with set time terms and always reviewable. So that is what you're describing we're voting on, and good explanation by the way. 
You have to  be clear to not limit your ceiling even when covering losses. But every entity has different horizons. 
Still, Barça is not in a worse state than the CSA, as we have massive capacity to generate revenue (some say the highest in club football), a loyal fan base, just signed a major shirt and naming rights deal with Spotify. I'm fact, if anything, we have not shown salary contention and need to restructure that, affected largely by Messi pulling everyone else up astronomically.
Expenditure control makes sense, and especially when you set a standard you can't go back on (payout %, for example). So here you could argue that the CSA must indeed be tough but fair when setting compensation benchmarks. Only that if they're playing hardball with the players but have a deal with CSB that gifts benefits to the latter, you can see where the discrepancy arises. 

the CSB agreement must be confidential, i have doubts it will ever see public scrutiny..
