If TFC is in this game, I'm pretty sure it's on TSN.

So the owner of Sheffield Wednesday is not paying players wages on time. Also being reported that staff employed by the club are either not being paid or receiving just a mere pittance. The club has been given 14 days to respond.

Jesse Marsch irate after Vancouver Whitecaps players, staff stricken by illness in Mexico | TSN

Canada coach Jesse Marsch expressed outrage Friday that the Vancouver Whitecaps had been "poisoned" during their visit to Mexico for the CONCACAF Champions Cup final.

www.tsn.ca

"They're better now," Marsch said before speaking at a Canada Ukraine Foundation breakfast Friday. "They're probably not ready for 90-minute performances (Saturday). But for me, it's appalling that this is the second year in a row that CONCACAF and the powers that be have allowed an MLS team to go down to Mexico for a big final and get poisoned.

"It's ridiculous. Something has to be done to protect these environments."

The Columbus Crew also complained of stomach illness after their loss at Mexico's CF Pachuca in last year's Champions Cup final. Coach Crew coach Wilfried Nancy confirmed afterwards that nearly the entire roster and coaching staff had been stricken by what the club believed to be food poisoning.

Marsch acknowledged he had no proof of poisoning but added "it's not random that two years in a row that this has happened."

"If I were the Vancouver Whitecaps, if I was the Columbus Crew, if I was MLS, I would be angry. I would be absolutely angry that this had been allowed to happen," he added.

Marsch does have experience of being at the receiving end of dark arts while visiting Mexico with the U.S. or a club team, citing fire alarms in the middle of the night and dancing and singing outside their hotel.

"And those are somewhat spirited, competitive advantages that are created when you go down to Mexico," he said. "But poisoning the team is another version."

Marsch said his understanding was the Whitecaps were suffering from food poisoning,

Vancouver arrived in Mexico City last Friday and were trounced 5-0 by Mexican powerhouse Cruz Azul in Sunday's final of CONCACAF's elite club competition

I saw a report that Bayern Munich was dropping their lawsuit against Canada Soccer for how they handled Alphonso Davies during the Nations League a few months ago. I mean, Canada Soccer is almost bankrupt, tough to get blood from a stone.
