Sadly that was scrapped about a month ago due to you know what. The league is holding the 2023 game at The Donut Box as something of a make good for having to do a scaled down Grey Cup this year.

I think Jon is a bit past the age where players go to Europe. Would have been nice had he gone 2 years ago. I think as long as he's a regular under Bob Bradley he heads to Qatar. With the way we are progressing, there may not be a spot for him in 2026.
Would be very nice to not have to head for El Salvador.

I don't think he is looking for too drastic a move. I get the sense he just wants a slight increase in challenge.

I thought about Liga MX but I doubt he leaves to go south. Oso has a player option and gets good money here already, at that point might as well stay with what you know .
I'm just thinking "challenge" -wise. But at this point, how much different would the Mexican league be?

Probably still a step up, but not as much as it once was. If he joined a top side in Mexico then it would be beneficial.
Also Ugbo scores for Genk;

I guess it makes sense travel wise, but nonetheless I'm really bummed it's not here in Vancouver. Would have been great to see them play during this run live. January seems like an eternity away now

Yes, but the pitch is probably as bad as Edmonton.
Also, if there is snow during the day, the game could be postponed (there is a weight limit on the roof for them to allow people inside). So, while it can, it is an absolute dump and could be a logistical nightmare.

OFC in the playoff. Finish top three anyways but a nice fallback to have.
Exactly what we wanted in the draw but just finish top 3 and let someone else worry about that.

Don't leave it to chance, regardless of the draw. Finish top of the group, send a message to the rest of CONCOCAF that we're not here to f*** around. They've worked so hard for 8 games, if we can nab 6 or 7 points this upcoming window, I'd be very happy and would set us up nicely. Don't want to have this campaign come down to a final away game in Panama, that's for sure.
It’d really end up as a final one off against New Zealand or god forbid for OFC New Caledonia or Tahiti. That’s the absolute worst case scenario for Canada now.
New Zealand is terrible, haven’t played meaningful games almost entirely since the pandemic and practically no difference makers in the squad. I’m pretty confident they’d be near bottom of the Octagon if they were thrown in it.

A spirited comeback attempt fell just short as the Canadian women's soccer team saw its five-game winning streak ended with a 2-1 loss to Mexico on Saturday.
Second-half substitution Jordyn Huitema scored in the 86th minute to give the Olympic champions life, but Mexico held on and weathered a number of excellent Canadian chances to beat Canada for just the second time.
