Canada players have ended their strike to continue preparations for the 2022 World Cup but warned questions have yet to be answered and actions have yet to be taken .
The team, who qualified for the World Cup finals for the first time since 1986, had taken action in a dispute over Qatar 2022 prize money.
As a friendly against Panama had to be called off, Canada Soccer responded to reports players would receive only 10 per cent of the pot it received from FIFA.
Canada Soccer said it had proposed 30 per cent would go to the men s team, 30 per cent to the women s team and 40 per cent to the association.
The players, the association claimed, asked for somewhere between 75 and 100 per cent of the money. A letter from the players asked for 40 per cent.

Getting their Nations League adventure back underway on Friday night, the Netherlands will travel to Hungary on Friday night.
Hungary
Starting with the hosts, while Hungary might have received a string of plaudits when heading into their EURO 24 adventure over the summer, Marco Rossi’s camp failed to find any kind of stability on their major tournament return. Missing out on the chance to book a knockout stage ticket, the Tricolours have also failed to find any kind of Nations League boost. Getting proceedings underway with a nightmare performance against Germany on September 7th as they fell to a 5-0 drumming, Hungary have now claimed just a single victory from any of their previous five appearances across all competitions.

Fernando Torres has collected the Euro 2012 Golden Boot, scoring three goals during Spain s title-winning campaign.
In a dramatic turn of events the 28-year-old ensured it would be he who won the accolade with a superb 15-minute cameo in the 4-0 final win over Italy to put another torrid season behind him.
Despite being level with Mario Gomez on three goals and one assist, he takes home the prize having played fewer minutes than his German counterpart.
Torres scored Spain s third in the final with a calm finish before assisting his Chelsea team-mate Juan Mata for their fourth moments later, which together with his brace against Republic of Ireland in the second group game saw him top the goalscoring charts.
The Spaniard also became the first ever player …
Nottingham Forest have been fined over the pitch invasion at the end of their Championship play-off semi-final against Sheffield United almost a year ago.
A Forest fan was jailed after headbutting Blades striker Billy Sharp during the incident at the end of the second leg at the City Ground on May 17 last year, while Sheffield United’s Oli McBurnie was cleared last December of stamping on another pitch-invading Forest fan.
An independent Regulatory Commission has fined Nottingham Forest FC £50,000 for breaching FA Rule E20 at its game against Sheffield United FC on Tuesday 17 May 2022 in the EFL Championship.

England reached a Women’s World Cup semi-final for the first time on this day in 2015 after holding on to beat tournament hosts Canada 2-1 in Vancouver.
Early goals from Jodie Taylor and Lucy Bronze set the Lionesses up for a historic win, but they were forced to dig deep after Christine Sinclair pulled one back for Canada just before half-time.
It was the first time a senior England side – men or women – had reached the World Cup’s last four since 1990.
A HUGE moment for the ! in 2015 we beat Canada on their home turf to reach the semi-finals of the

Halloween is hiding just around the corner, but Week 7 of the season looks like Christmas morning for those who love betting on NFL underdogs: Just look at all those points!
The Week 7 odds board is bursting with big spreads — +17.5, +15, and +12.5 — with the average handicap just under a touchdown. But all big spreads are big for a reason: bad teams.
And boy howdy do we have some bad ones this year.
I’ve always had trouble trusting big dogs, knowing that you were asking a terrible team to be just a little less terrible in order to cover the spread. I’d rather put my faith in a competent contender, knowing that there’s a capacity for improvement rather than just not sucking as much.
So, I dodge the big do…
Expectations are always high in the Big D, and the Dallas Cowboys’ 2022 NFL odds reflect those aspirations, fueled by one of the softest schedules in the NFL and a feverish public betting fanbase.
Warranted or not, the Cowboys’ futures have them pegged for the playoffs as slim favorites to win the NFC East with a double-digit win total. In a twist from past seasons, if Dallas is going to live up to the hype, it won’t be because of its star-studded skill positions but rather an opportunistic stop unit headlined by a pair of the most promising young defenders in the league.
Here’s your NFL betting preview for the Dallas Cowboys.
