Poor showing from every player. Janine Beckie would have made no difference lol. But I will grant you this: Canada would have gone through if Sinclair had converted the penalty against Nigeria
Sinclair's s penalty miss notwithstanding, Huitema ate too many chances, it was embarrassing. Sweet Janine would have converted at least two of those chances minimum for goals. The midfield were not dominated by any of the Selects they faced, not even the Australians. Canada's offense was pathetic.
True it was a very poor showing. Yet I do not agree Beckie would have made a difference. She's in her prime years and the positive leader of that team. Janine does not need the captain-ship.
I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. is the largest betting nation.
National soccer organizations divvying up proceeds largely earned from the men's side in most countries. I find it funny they want equal pay when the men bring in most revenue. In Canada it's been a little closer until recently when the men's team made their qualifying run and return to the World Cup. Stat i saw recently was this World Cup sold 1.5 million ticket sales, whereas the 2022 men's World Cup sold 3.5 million, and at much higher prices, plus the higher TV and merchandise revenue.
Regardless how much revenue the women generate, they deserve equal pay to the men. This is their new mantra which has consumed this team to their detriment. Plus, they are conveniently forgetting most of them have pay from their clubs as their main compensation
They do not deserve equal pay. They are in entertainment where pay is directly related to how much revenue they generate, not to mention they are not anywhere near as skilled as the men. Christine Sinclair wouldn't even make a team in the fourth division of Premier League. The WNBA wouldn't exist without male subsidies, this is little different. LeBron makes more than the entire WNBA. For good reason.
Dude every men on the men's team agree that the women should get equal pay. You get to play for the national team you get paid the same. Simple.
That's where Soccer Canada fucked up.
Down 3 nil now.
"You fuck'n ran into me you twat!" Canada's Chapman to Aussie Raso, after Raso took a dive .
This is the same philosophy enunciated in "Das Kapital" by Karl Marx. Its called Marxism. Last I checked, we dont practice that in Canada. Our system is capitalism: you eat what you kill.
