But they want to beat each other. Thie games are seen by millions. This exposure leads to more tickets, more merchandise, more tv deals in the region and more news.
A young player in Canada getting funding is fine but then what? What are they playing for after that? There's this big hole. When was the last time you woke up and couldn't wait for a match featuring Canada?
I just want a coach that can friggin beat Guatemala! Please!  |
So you want Bob Lenarduzzi? Bringing in a B list European coach for more than a domestic coach is about as terrible a turn as I can think of. There's really no point. Spend more money to get negligibly better results? Seriously, what does that accomplish?
Would you be really excited for a Canada match because we had Brian Robson managing? Is that really going to make a difference?
