CANADA MATCH CANCELED!

[mahestan]

Lol, just got this email from Canada Soccer:

"Canada Soccer thanks you for your support of our Men’s National Team. In appreciation of this support and in recognition of the challenges caused by the cancelled Canada v Panama match, we are pleased to extend a special 75% discount offer for you to attend the Canada v Curacao Concacaf Nations League match on Thursday 9 June at BC Place (7:30pm PT kick off)."

Reply to them with a big bilakh.

Thanks for sharing. Interestingly the article argues that the amount was not that much:

The reported sum agreed to between Canada and Iran was a reasonable amount, said Pierre Azaria, the general manager of MCI Sport, a Switzerland-based agency that organizes international matches and training camps for soccer clubs and national federations.

International matches are often expensive, he said, considering the cost of private aircraft, security and hotels. Usually, a country's soccer federation would send at least 55 people to such a game, a contingent of players, coaches and staff.

He also mentioned Tunisia demanded 1 million and Canada scrapped the idea of playing them.

I noticed he shared he avoids friendlies with Iran due to the pariah status of the nation and likelihood of cancelations...

The controversy over the proposed Iran match may force potential sponsors to rethink a relationship with Canada Soccer, he said, since companies always take into account an organization's track record, as well as its reliability and reputation.*

"I would consider this a crisis for them," he said. "There is a long-term impact to consider, which is brand health."

Good, I hope they have a horrible preparation and get wrecked in the WC after their incompetence.

So root for Qatar now since they let Iran have a camp there?

I never support Arab teams, but I'm more sympathetic to them than the other Arab teams.

Money talks, and these woke idiots left a LOT of money from ticket sales on the table with this cancelation. smh

At least 55... and Iran was only sending 50. Yet social media ran away with rumors of 183 people being sent.

And out of that 50, 280 of them had a picture with Nasseredin Shah. Outrageous I tell you. But Canada is lucky to have a courageous leader like Trudeau who stepped unto the floor to put a stop to all this dilly-dallying.
