That's a very good question. That's the market side of the sport perhaps?
Bad agents? Not getting name recognition? These World U-20 championships are well scouted and Canada was there 3 tournaments in a row. I don't know. Stalteri playing in EPL and Bundesliga. Few others in the Bundesliga too. De Guzman with Deportivo La Coruna until coming back to Toronto. Players in the English Championship and Division 1.

But I know what you mean, other countries have players on bigger teams.
