Our beloved national soccer association can be pinned blame for that over the years. Team results haven’t been great but having a strong business plan and strong message, you could have some proper corporate partners through thick and thin, which would want to advertise and then you’d have the national networks onboard and it would snowball.
Instead you have an arrogant impotent organization, with 10 plus board members, basking in the WC host-in waiting status and expecting sponsors to come out and kiss their feet and expect those sponsors to beg to be part in the MNT and WNT for that matter, for the upcoming WC, to line their pockets even more.
I do expect that maybe a national broadcaster will pick up some of the ONE Soccer feeds in some sort of arrangement if Canada kicks off the opening round with some results.
