Sanctioned soccer pay-to-play stream-model will never produce the best players to represent your country.

"I can't afford most of these clubs in my area"

(Facebook comment 2025)

Sanctioned soccer pay-to-play stream-model will never produce the best players to represent your country. That same thing applies to your neighbourhood, to your municipality, to your region, to your province and so on. The reason and logic (much like Delay-Deny-Defend-Ignore tactics by private health companies or defunct-Soviet's style anti-dissent methods); you or aspiring players are simply crushed into silence, apathy and cast aside by the current soccer development participation models.

"First they think about money, then about quality and results," the Swedish soccer player said regarding the sport in the U.S. "It has to be said that the sport is expensive, very expensive. For example, in order for my children to play in a good football team, I have to pay $3,500 per child. It's not for the figure, but for the whole concept." - NEWSWEEK, 2019

"...interviewed employees, players, former players, executives, coaches and agents. Almost all of them requested that their names not be used in this report because they feared repercussions. They raised numerous issues: lack of transparency, spending of public funds, financial opacity, a mysterious deal with a private firm, allegations of favouritism, widespread spying and a toxic environment. "It's a hornet's nest, everyone's keeping their mouth shut," said one former executive." - CBC, 2025

"...Rosario is a small, patchy football pitch, overlooked by decaying tenements. It is the home of a children's team known as the Grandoli Football Club. The club is run by parents in a rough and tough working-class neighbourhood and provides training and league games for local children. - BBC NEWS, 2010

It's 2025, and sanctioned soccer still doesn't really have the interest of (all) soccer enthusiasts. But rather ONLY of those that can afford to pay. No one is asking for DEI or woke policies but be self-critical; much like Darwin's theory of evolution, unless we have a healthy, active AND large sample of population survival (in this case competitive skills presence); Canada will disappear from international competitive soccer or remain "humpf-mediocre".
