What a f***ing joke...I've waited 30+ years to see this team reach this level and the WC and they STILL find a way to f*** everything up.
So pissed and frustrated...

Good luck keeping that momentum going now with attracting other dual nationals.
Yes and no.
Obviously bad press for the team that would leave a sour taste in the mouth to players.
But the strike could also lead to better compensation or other conditions which could help attract players to the team. Likewise it could kick the CSA to get their f***ing act together

Maybe so.
But just being so jaded with the CSA all my life just doesn't allow me to see the upside as realistic.
Glass half full, this tight ass team just got a lot tighter. But shit, we need some warm up games.

Hopefully this changes the CSA for good. However, I do have a problem with the players announcing so late that they wouldn’t be playing. Sucks for those who traveled to Vancouver for this game.

100% but I’m sure it had a lot to do with them hoping it would get sorted out. The players don’t WANT to not play just to not play. They want to get this fixed too.

What i am taking from this is that we are miles apart. Do we have 26 more players we can bring in?
Cannot possibly face sanctions from CONCACAF for this... jeopardizing the future.
There is also the matter of giving notice to strike... that's how things are done. So that Panama doesn't travel in and fans don't travel in. I want to know what half assed lawyer has given our mens team this advice.
the CSA has been useless forever but Canadian Soccer has not been a hot property until now... It's like having a career year after 20 bad ones and demanding the world. We were not considered useful by any of the major networks.. we landed on onesoccer.
I am not giving the players a pass here. Not one bit. Sustained success will open up doors, better advertising rights, TV rights etc... Need time to build.. We were nothing and nowhere and i was there for every little f***ing bit of it... every little bullshit match against Belize and when we were bringing on Nakajima-Ferran to change a game.

No f*** that. I won't support any player who crosses the picket line and plays for Canada while others are striking
I will never support scabs

Have you read their release?
Their demands seem fairly reasonable.
CSB is corporate greed. CSA seems to have given up controlling the revenue sources for a guaranteed, small, revenue... just when things were starting to be interesting.
I don't think we really know anything with tweets in the media.. You may be right on CSB... i don't know anything about them.
I can't imagine there will be scabs lol. Pretty sure the staff is on board.
Let's be serious, the boys want to play as much we want them to play.

That's the biggest problem for me, we know nothing about the CSB deal.
I don't think that is realistic either but we cannot, not play the Nations League games..
This is f***ing embarrassing

This is partly the issue though. The new contract was not set up well to provide players with compensation if they are good. So the players are seeing their success, they will likely continue to succeed, and they won't see an increase in compensation during this deal. They are fighting for the next 5+ years.
So can there be proper benchmarking done and a fair deal done with total transparency... ? The fact that hasn't already happened and we are in this mess just makes me sick. Critical training and match time lost.. Embarrassment all around...

It's 100% embarrassing. Everything about this window has been terrible, from the original Iran friendly to the strike Friday, to today's continued strike and press conference.
Here is the full press conference;
