Canada kicking off their "Road to 2022" with a promo for their qualifying match for the new Nations League:

Game to be played in Toronto.
My sources at the CSA tell me that Canada Soccer had over 20 dates at BC Place blacked out over the next quadrennial for the Men's and Women's national teams. As soon as Vancouver pulled out of the joint bid, the CSA pulled all their dates. I'm told it's likely to be quite some time before we see either national side in the Lower Mainland again. Tough to blame them, I would want to take my business where my country supported me as well I guess.
As the dust settles and more info continues to come out about how BC handled opting out of the bid (ie Montagliani's interview about how no one from the government reached out to him even when he tried to call at the last minute and essentially beg them to stay as part of the bid) and how Vancouver was planned to be Canada's show piece city in the bid, etc. it just makes me sad.
Have whatever opinion you want, but I think it sucks to miss out and will personally never forgive the people involved.
