I read an article this past weekend that stated that the Canadian National Team members may boycott the games unless they receive more money to play. They were offered $3500 a game and they want $7500 a game instead. Did anyone else read this? And if so, did they receive the increase. Now the big question. What do the US players receive for playing in games? And do they only receive it if they actually get into the game? Looking for answers? Thank you.
For info on the Canadian drama go here...Elo has done a good job of keeping everyone up to date on stuff: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=1934&perpage=15&pagenumber=10 The USWNT got a new contract in early 2000 I believe. Dang. I do believe the info is out there regarding their compensation for games and what not. I am sure someone can dig that up for you. EDIT I guess that someone is me. Dang I don't have a life eh? http://tsn.sportingnews.com/voices/grahame_l._jones/20000201.html http://www.soccertimes.com/wagman/2000/feb01.htm http://www.nytimes.com/library/sports/soccer/013000soc-uswomen.html

Re: Re: Pay to Play US women get $2000 per "friendly" appearance. No word on how much they are getting at the Gold Cup. Canadian women get de nada for friendly appearance but the Canadian men get paid.
