That doesn't change the fact that they would be committing their international careers to a country with no history of success. Not to mention the fact that doing so also entails a much larger commitment than most nations due to the travel involved, and that the CSA doesn't exactly have a great track record to put your faith into. Getting to the Hex and having a real shot at qualification could change a lot of that, it could be a real catalyst, so I don't blame a professional (and let's remember that word, these aren't amateurs playing for the love of the game) from delaying a decision that will have long lasting implications for their career.
