@martyn_bailey @JohnMolinaro An alarming amount of them didn't get another full-time head coach role after. Job is like the kiss of death

@paulcalixte1 @TheChampions @CPLsoccer I've read that CPL will get two spots minimum so Montreal won't get the hand me down spot? Last year was different I guess because the winning/losing finalists' leagues were reversed compared to this year

@vansk24 @taj1944 @MikeMartignago Surely the MLAs in metro Van just expense trips on harbour air or helijet to get to work and back

@alexanderupert @dandccordeiro How many of those kids just leave the sport if the option is going to Europe at 15? Especially with no EU passport? If we're imagining yesterday's game as a CPL game, we can cut the salaries, attendance, sponsorship, and quality of play by about 70%

@alexanderupert @dandccordeiro Agreed, TFC especially has burned a lot of bridges, but it's still a pathway. Look at Davies and Ahmed, do they have the same trajectory if they're coming up through CPL? What about the next one, does he just turn to construction or accounting when he's offered a $30K contract?

@alexanderupert @dandccordeiro Surely the level of investment in those clubs (and their academies) would regress to the mean? I think you'd have less Giovinco and Muller (and the thousands of kids they inspire to try and turn pro) and more of an Inter Toronto 2.0 but on the waterfront

@alexanderupert @dandccordeiro I don't think those assets and dollars (including the top Canadian and international players at each team) will stick around for someone's football manager fantasy, but it's an interesting thought

[model citizen @canmnt]

@alexanderupert @dandccordeiro Come on, dropping attendance and sponsorships that much will have a negative effect on development. Then it's hard to see the public and media ever getting back to the same level of interest that a major league with NY, LA and Miami offers

@rfinch03 @alexanderupert They don't test themselves abroad enough and it shows at the World Cup. Turns out beating up on Trinidad in tournaments designed to set up a US-Mexico final in the southwest don't actually prepare you for a knockout game against a decent team

@slidewayssnow @reformussoccer Well it was when they played those games in Columbus. Hard to justify tweaking the entire ranking system because you'd rather play them in an NFL stadium to sell $150 tickets to Mexican-Americans

@lolajean5 @seiders118 Still on track to be the first team to win both conferences (in another universe where the front office doesn't suck)

@KickRocksGLG @shdhdbeheh @GCM1979 Paraguay as a top seed is wild, I'd love to be in that group if we're not one too. But surely you can expect at least one or two top 24 teams to miss out, gives a tiny bit of wiggle room

@OcBen @azrie_mir @SweeperPod You're right, appears they've all become full members. Not in FIFA, obviously. Maybe worthy of its own post

[model citizen @canmnt]

@azrie_mir @SweeperPod And the CONCACAF teams like Martinique

@StardustBook @sportsrage @NHL_Watcher Yeah, seems like two at a time in all the major leagues. In NHL it will be Atlanta pt 3 and Austin/Houston, then for NBA it's Vegas and Seattle. Would love Grizzlies, Nordiques and Expos back but not holding my breath

@ChesterM222 Less social workers sounds like a terrible idea

@DiceElDani So the point is that fans shouldn't complain if a team bends the rules against them, because enforcement is lax and prone to corruption in other parts of the world? Got it
