Yes it's an honour to represent your country, but for friendlies ?

Not looking good for TFC...

Doing well in friendlies, means slowly increasing in the FIFA rankings. The WCQ start now. Especially with our current 100th place ranking.

Exactly. Friendlies are the basis upon which teams improve. You don't go into World Cup qualifiers never having played together as a team and expect to do well. Part of the problem over the years with the Canadian team is that they didn't play enough friendlies. The problem here isn't Canada scheduling friendlies, that is a GOOD thing, the problem here is MLS refusing to acknowledge FIFA dates which is stupid and amateur.

MLS continues to engage in this tomfoolery scheduling.

Exactly. It's hard to fault the sport's global governing body in this situation. FIFA lays out a schedule well in advance and there are good reasons to play friendlies like this.

MLS needs to adapt to FIFA, it shouldn't be the other way around.

Ever get the feeling our players like SH a little more than they like our management team?

Dero pulled the plug on a friendly before because of his commitment to TFC. This game is arguably way more important.

The playoff race is going to be tight. This situation sucks.
