Those are two great matchups against two fellow World Cup sides. I'm sure there will be lots of bitching about the Qatar friendly though...

Is Qatar the top 15 team or is that another game?

Good matchups. Too bad they couldn't get something going vs Italy at home though.

Decent matchups against quality opponents, finally. Will be in tough.
Italy would be useless to play.

On another note, joint statement from Men's and Women's teams about the CSB and lack of transparency and details behind the deal and how it could be consummated so quietly.

I realize the Hockey Canada issue is a different beast, but if the Feds dip their toes in that water they should be doing the same for the CSA and CSB, around misappropriation, as I assume they also get federal funding.

Apparently Davies left todays game against RB, with an injury.

Had me in the first half. I thought he was announcing retirement from NT.

Kudos for Westhead sticking with this. There are all sorts of self serving backdoor deals and internal politics that the CSA prefered to enhance in rather than carry out its mandate.

There is no doubt that funds came in, but where did they go and who's pockets did they line? Didn't go to the group specifically set up raise money for soccer in Canada.

https://www.tsn.ca/rick-westhead-fou...idle-1.1835850

Nevermind the money, this line stuck out as exhibit a) of the CSA:

Canada Soccer officials spent much of 2011 preparing for an election in May 2012 in which Victor Montagliani defeated Newman and Maestracci to become Canada Soccer’s president.

And, then in deflect mode:
Montagliani wrote that this “is a positive time” for soccer in Canada and “the focus of everyone involved in the sport should be on harnessing the positivity around our MNT and WNT for the benefit of future generations in Canada, and ensuring we capitalize on the once in a lifetime opportunity that 2026 will bring".


The more he will dig the uglier it will get as far as things coming to light.

Hopefully Kone's move to the Championship goes better than Laryea's...

No damage done for Laryea at least. He's been a best since returning on loan.

Kone has the physical tools and is improving, but he’s not close to the finished product yet. He’ll need a loan or a manager that believes in him and gives him chances.

Uruguay, Qatar and Japan are all great opponents going into the World Cup.

Sounds like Osorio may finally move to Europe this winter.
