Sickening that the CSA is unapologetically once again using a good man in Herdman to be the one to trot out and deliver poor messages and make weak excuses. He's the coach of the team responsible for preparing a national team to not get beaten by 10 goals in less than 8 years, he's not the treasurer or administrative negotiatiator.

"Other CSA initiatives" likely includes regular "scouting"trips to Europe for a handful of CSA board members and week long executive retreats. This country is hosting a World Cup for the only time in most of our lifetimes, and participating in a World Cup, where you'd have to be 43 years old in 2026 to have ever remember watching Canada in a WC, and the CSA, who's going to get a massive massive check, is already penny pinching.
