Westhead’s piece coming out when the sun is shining a bit on Canada soccer is interesting.

"While federation staff have secured friendly games for the men's team on June 6 against the Netherlands and two other games in late 2024 with the U.S. and Mexico, that's happened because the Dutch and U.S. soccer federations have agreed to cover most of the costs of those games, the Canada Soccer source told TSN."

Not sure it’s that unusual for the home side to cover costs…

Beat me to it. Seems like the status quo, no?

Oh it is but if it were the other way around as it was in June 2022 he would still criticize it. Players were underpaid but now they’re paid so much that we can’t afford to win.

Is it a stretch to think that while expenses and bonuses have gone up, the revenues and expected revenues haven't?  Leaving a shortfall.

Not at all but you’re missing the point.

Not a September friendly, but per Kloke’s article in the athletic today, there’s apparently the prospect of a second friendly in June vs a team competing in the euros.

Right now, that's the more important friendly to lock down.
