Biello proved today that he is not fit for the stage.... Need to get on finding a new manager asap.
We are taking steps in the wrong direction after so much good.

This is the main problem right here. With the contract Canadian Soccer made with “Soccer Business”, all profits go to private individuals who own “Soccer Business”.
Yes, Canadian Soccer is basically bankrupt, no money for friendlies, practise, hirings… nothing. Sadly, Canadian Soccer will see dark days until this contract runs out.
There really needs to be a proper investigation Into this, as it’s probable that there is extensive corruption and profiteering, at the expense of the sport’s future in Canada.
When we can’t afford to play games, practise enough, or make proper staff hirings, we really shouldn’t expected success.
Obviously would have been much better to win last night and qualify directly but Canada drew Trinidad and Tobago in the playoff. Honduras/Costa Rica in the other.
One game playoff that takes place March 23, 2024 in Texas (happening the same time as the Nations League SF/F in Texas aswell).

Whoa this is actually good news as it would force them to play a set of games in that window.
This nation has not seen a friendly on Canadian soil since 2017! We know there's zero funds right now to even arrange friendly matchups on domestic territory. So you are probably only really looking at 2 matchups in that window instead of 4. Even if they were to host friendlies...who would they have played against? Curacao? Bahrain? Barbados?
Take the guaranteed matchups (4) for that period. This squad needs all the games it can get.

The guarantee of games is nice, although I worry about having to go and play 2 away games on terrible fields across CONCACAF. Injuries are up, it's random chaotic football.
I'd much rather go play Japan or some other middle to upper tier countries.

It would be the opening match of the tournament aswell.
Would be fun to play some new teams.

The new teams part of it is huge. 3 competitive matches is also an amazing add to the schedule. Things have felt anti-climatic since the qualifying cycle and trip to Qatar.

Fingers crossed we win against T&T. In a one-off 90 minute game anything can happen.

Interesting read, one of those moments where it shows there is a lot going on behind the scenes in these peoples lives.
The highest of highs to the lowest of lows. I feel for the man.
Saying the players pivoted from "we" to "me" in June of '22 was pretty sobering too.

I think most of us here were feeling that we to me... It took some of the joy out of the journey and then the WC itself... that hangover still hasn't subsided.
