Latin starts for Mallorca today!

Apparently the report I was reading was a little early. Looks like he will becoming off the bench.

 

[Pink Mist]

John Herdman apparently has been inquiring about taking the TFC job

ugh... Not an attractive post at the moment.. Terrible Terry isn't giving up the job without a fight.

 

[Pink Mist]

Celtic fans might be the heroes we need to fix our cell providers in Canada

Yes please.

Helps the national teams, not good for TFC

With the financial state of Canada Soccer, I'm worried that they'd replace him with the coach of some house league u-10 team in Oakville

That's actually a fair point.

This would be a wild change in the Canada football dynamic:

We'll probably end up with a Herdman for the Terrible One swap.

John Herdman has proven to be a builder and get players to believe and buy in. The CMNT was playing really inspiring and purposeful football.

John Herdman has also been susceptible to trying the same things over and over again and shown a complete inability to make changes in-game. The 2022 WC wasn't good. The Nations League finals really showed how passive the guy can.

The issue is...this nation cannot afford anyone better and will likely seek out a cheap inexperienced manager who will get bullied by that dressing room.

lol - Dear pre pubescent Jesus.. Can you imagine?

 

[robertmac43]

Don't love this..

 

[al secord]

With no money in the coffers, I don't see a resolution to this.

I doubt there can be government intervention when there is already an outcry over how much 2026 is going to cost tax payers.

It's a nightmare I don't see us waking up from.

Much needed timeline cleanse:

 

[Pink Mist]

FYI if Canada didnt play those Nation League games they'd likely be kicked out of CONCACAF

 

[keonsbitterness]

Canada Soccer took the money and ran. Who could have possibly seen that coming?

 

[Cloned]

Feels like a major point in history now for soccer in this country.

Men’s team facing uncertainty and need for continued development.

Women’s team facing the same financial uncertainty and now also facing the prospect of dropping out of the Top 10 as the traditional soccer countries have finally caught up to and surpassed them in talent.

They either persevere and grow through the WC in 2026, or the entire thing crashes and burns and becomes untenable.

Everything in this country is going to shit. I fully expect the program to disintegrate.

 

[Tuggy]

It's all so discouraging.

Every week there seems be something negative coming out.

I'm just numb to it at this point.

David scores his first of the season today.

Terry Dunfield proving he's a better manager than player.

I think things are looking up for us.

Overheard a major issue now is major corporations paying next to nothing to be given "sponsor" status. Really wish we had a large Canadian corporation step up and really help out...

Sucks that it's this early on in the "golden generation" as well. We should be celebrating this great team with every chance we get....

Apparently Herdman is getting closer to being names the new coach of TFC.

Does that put Phil at the wheel of the National Team?
