I think playing for the countries opens you up to being seen by the big clubs which can be tough for Canadians.
You're right if we get everyone to come we may be able to move into the next stage of qualifying but if one individual (at least the guys we have so far) comes and the others don't then that one guy is pretty much stuck playing for not much.
Maybe I have seen Canada soccer so terrible recently and that Honduras game sticks in my mind but I am not sure that even with those 3 Canada qualifies for the WC. Although it does seem like the real young guys (u-21's) may have the kind of talent to get them into the WC if they stick around.
