I know it happens Pink but it still does not make me happy it is happening to us.
At least we will get the games in this week and hopefully they get their reps face to face immediately after to see what can be accomplished. This cannot drag on.

Rewatching the press conference it's hilarious how rattled Bontis and Cochrane are throughout the whole thing. CSA definitely does not invest money in media training it seems.

One thing that I find interesting about this whole situation is the CSA seems to have offered equal pay to the men and the women (30% each), which seems fair. However in the men’s team statement, they talk about equal percentage. So not equal pay like the US is doing with their soccer teams, but equal percentage from the respective prize moneys. Anyway, this negotiation might also feature a fight between the CMNT and the CWNT as well as the CSA. It’ll be interesting to see how it gets resolved..

After what the U.S. did, there will be no women's teams willing to settle for that.

Maybe, but I don't think looking at the US contract makes any sense.
Markets, sponsorship, TV deals, etc. are nowhere close to the same.

And? I mean, that's true. You are absolutely right... but that's the CSA's problem.
If both the men and women get the same % of the overall pool, the size of that pool is not their responsibility. The fact that it is a smaller pool should not affect equal pay. They'll be equally badly paid because CSA is dumb af and sold their high-potential assets to private interest to secure a small guarantee.
Curacao beat Honduras 2-1 yesterday. Being ill prepared and lack of focus could get us in trouble.
On 2nd thought, I should just be happy there's a game at all.

An actual match tonight...
It's a late start for me on the East Coast, so I'll probably be asleep
Curacao and Honduras split their two matches so they both sit at 3 points.
Curacao tonight in Vancouver and travel to Honduras next week.

It is.. I will watch but i'm still a little sore about the fiasco Sunday and i'm not as excited as i should be.
A good performance against an in form team would help.

Kamal Miller will explode all over your TV screen. Kone could take a big step this summer, but he's quite young.
Still a bad taste in my mouth. I'm actually expecting a poor performance tonight based purely on this distraction.
Hoping for the best.
lol - explode all over your screen. That had me laughing out loud.
To answer your question, we've had about 6 or 7 MLS players in our 23 at any given time.
Kone had used some early season MLS form to get a sniff and now Raheem Edwards has somehow found himself again and landed in this team for the Nations League. It is very difficult to see how someone new from MLS punches their way in.
a very strong 4-4-2 or 3-4-3 lineup tonight... no messing about. In fact , i think this is the lineup for the WC opener barring injury. That or we want an extra midfielder like Piette to try and kick Debruyne for a half to soften him up.
