Either way, love to see it

Don't get me wrong, I love to see it. But... how?

From the article I had posted above a couple weeks back, other federations are footing the majority of the costs.
While federation staff have secured friendly games for the men's team on June 6 against the Netherlands and two other games in late 2024 with the U.S. and Mexico, that's happened because the Dutch and U.S. soccer federations have agreed to cover most of the costs of those games, the Canada Soccer source told TSN.
Not sure if it's the same with France.
Regardless, good to get some proper competition, both Copa America and friendlies. Keep them coming, Canad will be a high enough profile opponent given the WC hosting.
