"Sports supporters — unlike some of their political counterparts — tend to accept defeat. What they get from fandom typically isn’t winning, or even entertainment. It’s belonging."
How sport unites us
In a divided world, fandom is a social superpower

FT: Pacific FC 1-4 Valour FC

End of season dead rubber at Starlight Stadium. Home team terrible and three down at half time. Marginally better in the second period until captain Josh Heard was sent off 11 minutes after coming on. Crowd of 2621 on a very rainy afternoon. #CPL

Sloppy performance by Vancouver FC who lose 1-0 to league leaders Forge. Molham Babouli’s header on the stroke of half time was enough for the away side.

It was my first visit to Vancouver FC, an ironic name given it took me two hours to get there from Vancouver.
