RE: Valour shutting down. There were rumours that Supra paid a lower expansion fee than the usually cited 10M. If so it's hard not to make the connection that the CPL is trapped at 8 by its own dumb fees

Someone in Gastown who spent years trying to sell the "Whitecaps will be like Philadelphia" pitch is punching air right now.
"... I think the examples are, today, Philadelphia and Vancouver... they're being successful by developing some players at the academy level, and complement them with some good international players, and that's certainly going to be the model that we have to follow."

One hundred years ago this month, unseen operators would move a ball and markers around a contraption known as a Playograph and let thousands of baseball fans “watch” the World Series. ⚾️

Whitecaps free agents as usual mostly on options, but the GK situation is interesting. Takaoka is out of contract in December (not an MLS free agent for reasons) but basically the whole thing is wide open.

I think there's a very good chance the new CPL team in Quebec will be called Supra. A new trademark application for the name and the old CSL logo was approved in July. The applicant is Angelo Pasto, who is widely rumoured to be in the ownership group. ised-isde.canada.ca/cipo/tradema...

Since the Canadian Championship Semis got set Wednesday night there's been an obvious narrative building about the CPL's guaranteed final. So I took a statistical look back at the history of CPL vs MLS matches for some almost entirely un-predictive probabilities.

A rough injury blow for #AFCToronto just a week and half into the season as the club confirm that Amanda West has suffered an ACL injury.
West missed out of the club's inaugural match last weekend, and was one of three NWSL loanees signed by the #NSL club.

For the last five years MLS pundits have on average underestimated the Whitecaps by a little less than 2 positions (1.81). So based on this year's prediction (11.78) we should expect the Whitecaps to finish 10th (this is very scientific and important)
