1-Become a football nation, that mean football will be your number one passionate sport, that means when your national team plays everybody watches it.
2-Football has to become number 1, meaning all other sports has to become less important and popular than football especially Canadian Football and
Baseball, it is also better if Canadian football disappears.
3-Show respect for football and stop they anti-football sport networks and media, respect also calling football with its real name foot ball and not use the Soccer for it
4-Fix your pathetic MLS leage and stop trying to Americanize it, from the stupid name (Major League Soccer), to being a closed leage without relegation and promotion to stupid playoffs that
make most of the season worthless before the playoff.
5-Stop trying to Americanize the sport itself and follow what other countries that done it for decades. Stop the stupid draft in MLS and stupid college leages, make clubs
develop players, if a players goes to college and then be drafted for MLS, that is already too late, 22 after college!!!Thats one third of his career gone.
Major talented players in this world have went professional when they were 15 or 16.
6-Balance your friendilies, for every one you play at home play one away from home against a strong team.
7-Bringing retired players to gather big checks in the MLS is not going to improve it, it makes more of a joke leage.
8-Stop overestimating yourselves and over expectations, DO NOT dream of wining a World Cup or talk about it until you improve and become a football nation
High unrealistic ambitions with current bad state of football in USA and Canada, makes other teams and countries not respect you and give them more
reason to beat you or be happy when somebody else beats you. Spend money to build more practice facilities and at least one more National Soccer Stadium on the West Coast.
9-Bring a foreign coach to your team, there is no Canadian coach that has enough experience to lead an
international team in a world-class competition. USA has started playing football only in early ninites and the leage is only 12 years old
how the hell is there going to be a very good American coach then.
10-FIFA ranking is worthless, never pay attention to it, only team history, accomplishment and how many world
class players the country produces matters. FIFA ranking actually hurts the game by ranking some poor teams higher than
some good teams.

1-oh please!
2-more irrelevance
3-completely irrelevant- Football is called what in Italian, Calcio? and Italians have won how many WC's?
4-Sport is different in N.America. Billionaires do not pay franchise fees only to be relegated. Basketball, Hockey and have not suffered due to the lack of relegation leagues. Where are the worlds best leagues in both sports, that's right Canada and the USA.
5-Draft works-no one team can monopolize all the talent as the European super Clubs do with their wealth, premier leagues always have the same teams on top. The draft assures there will be no Barca Real dynasties who continually buy their players and their titles.
6-ok
7-Beckham retired?, do you fear your best leaving for the american dollar? It will happen, the MLS will continue to grow in strength and size.
8-"do not dream of winning a WC"? how arrogant when was the last time Spain won the WC? I have no expectations of Canada winning a WC, you must have many nightmares of all the times Spain chokes every W.C.
Practice facilities, we have more than many countries who beat us so that's irrelevant.
9-Foreign Coach,we have and they failed as well. Many Canadian coaches have European and S American training/certification, do these coaches automatically become stupid once they return to N America? There are some excellent American, coaches once again you're being arrogant. Isn't that a German replacing an Italian coach at Madrid, and a dutchman at Barca, what there are no Spanish coaches capable?
10-FIFA rankings-they are what they are, imperfect-exact positions no but reasonable when you consider groups, top 20,20-40,40-50...it can never be more than a guide....

1 out of 10 points valid. Evidently living in a soccer mad country where every waking moment and sleeping ones as well doesn't make you very knowledgeable about N American soccer.

north american soccer is garbage, i watch usl games on FSC its trash, i wnet to lynx games and cpsl games, its all trash, mls lacks creativity and technical skills, players just run and kick, mls lacks joga bonito, and a perfect example is cunningham on toronto fc, he can just run and kick, he will make a cutback move then just run in a straight line, he plays with no flair, no style, he is a prime classic mls player, too boring.

Moderator's Note from Blizzard:

truwarier90 is a sock puppet and has been banned by a Supermod. In the past, he existed as iceman309 and Soccerbeast. Some of you may recall a time when the Big Soccer Canada forum was virtually destroyed by a campaign by a poster who continuously reinvented himself, often multiple times a day.

That individual and truwarier90 are one and the same. Needless to say, that is a violation of the terms we all agree to when we join Big Soccer.

Thanks for your patience in this matter. If you should ever suspect that we have an issue with sock puppets, please do not hesitate to PM a moderator.

thx
