Honestly, yeah it is... if Canada can't be bothered to put any effort into Soccer, why should we expect top players to sacrifice their career opportunities for an ungrateful and apathetic nation?

Remember, because soccer is such a global game, being capped for a major team is a significant step in one's career, granting opportunities and experience not normally granted otherwise.

Would you expect a superstar hockey player to play for, say, Uzbekistan or Croatia, when they could play for Canada or the US? Cause that's about the equivalent.
