Veteran midfielder Jonathan Osorio has voiced his support for Canadian captain Christine Sinclair and her assertion that Canada Soccer operates in a "culture of secrecy and obstruction." "I do think I've experienced moments like that," the Toronto FC star said.
Osorio said there has been no attempt to repair the relationship between the players and the governing body in the past. "It's kind of been a separate thing and not one team.
And because of that, this is where we're at now," he said after training Friday. "There's a big distance between the two sides where there shouldn't be.
On a positive note, Osorio said he believes the relationship can be repaired. "Because the relationship over a long period of time has not been fixed, it's going to take time to mend it.
