CanadasBest Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 The short answer is that our soccer program lacks finances... No Money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I also think the players probably appreciate the break - opportunity to spend some time with the wife and kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Money. Most of our top players play in Europe and it would cost the CSA a lot to get them over for a friendly in North America, or to pay to get everyone together. It's less difficult for UEFA teams, in terms of distance, cost, and logistics. I'm sure we could get a "B" friendly arranged, but most N.A.-based are still in season, and yes the CSA doesn't have the extra money for this. And yes the players appreciate the break, as Richard mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodelcitizen Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Teams like Australia, Ghana, Jamaica etc (even Brazil and Argentina) have all played games in London, England; makes it easier to get there European-based players together for international week. Surely this isn't out of the realm of possibility? Somewhere like Loftus Road (QPR's stadium), Fulham's ground -- wherever a home game isn't being played that weekend. C'mon CSA, please tell me you've at least looked into this kind of thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I would love it, but who would go to watch Canada play? All those other countries can sell tickets in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
