You guys are missing my point. I don’t want him to move down. I want the CPL to come to his level. Plus I think he would be in a better position to move if him and more players like him came to play in the CPL. Him playing all time and just dominating, like Borges. Yes Borges flamed out but he’s a great example. Have players like Jacob calibre and mix with young talent = very exciting league.

That’s what I mean though if he’s getting that much money, the CPL should be looking at that. He’s a type of player the league needs to become bigger and better. If the Quality of players and play is better more fans will come and more money the league makes. You really gonna spend money to make money. Maybe the CPL should look at DP spots. MLS went from a bunch of nobodies to old legends, to mid level European stars plus younger talented North American players. We should learn from mistakes and speed this up for the CPL. Right now we have young Canadian/Spanish player with Ottawa and one former Championship player and few Brazilians and Trinidad and Tobago mix with fringe Canadian players. The Potential is amazing

He had an amazing game. I know some will think very different but a player like Jacob would perfect for the CPL. He’s young, kinda fringe MLS player but on the way up, talented and would be a huge star in the CPL. Plus Nova Scotia loves local players ( all sports). I wish the raise the salary cap in the CPL and teams would look like a better option for players.

Honestly I just want a camp or two and build from there. You gonna start some where. Or maybe use the money to hire an manager or some people with vision and ideas. You gonna spend money to make money. With having one of best young players in world, the gold medal and the hype with team. We Should be able to get at least a few new sponsors would you think ? I understand money can be difficult to get. But we are at a time where we have a golden generation and we need to use that to build for the future. Yes some of you are right we are gonna lose players and gain players. But in my view and I like to think others are the same. Everything that should done , needs to be done to get these players in playing for Canada. About a quarter ( Hutch, Hoilett, Arfield, Vitoria, Osorio, any player that’s in the 29-30 range now) of our roster will not or might not be around for 2026, we need these young talented players. Also playing for Canada and winning for Canada will improve soccer in this country on the amateur side and on the pro side. someone on here should put together a youth team full 23, so we can see the talent.

I am truly sorry, my frustration got the better of me and yes you and I don’t like each other and don’t agree, but I shouldn’t have called you a name. If I hurt your feelings I am sorry. We are all Canadian Soccer fans and supporters. I can be better.

FIFA was and is still giving out massive loans and grants to federations, plus not for profits and others were given support from the Canadian government. On top of that sponsorship money.

Maybe you should come up with some thing that’s productive and adds to the conversation and not just defend at all cost and be the unofficial mouthpiece kiss ass of the CSA. I swear you haven’t criticize the CSA not even once since I’ve been on here, in all their lunacy. Honestly you’re just a coward

I don’t speak the language but maybe someone here does

The CSA white knight comes out of hiding. Go jump in the Ottawa River. aren’t you sick of so many really good Canadian players playing for youth teams for other countries because we don’t hold any camps and friendlies. please explain why it’s an ignorant post? There is so many ways for the CSA to get the money needed for these camps but they don’t and they won’t hire a experience manager, they hired Olivieri …. Don’t you think these really good young talent players should be playing for Canada and playing against tough competition?

Again we need a youth program ASAP! Cheap ass CSA
