Totally get it, though I have no idea where you came up with divergent totals. They’re also not financing $500 mil. In 1983 no team could afford to build a stadium without sweetheart public $. Now they can’t afford a team unless they get a real estate play.

Finally, some needed context. Or, “untenable to some, the equivalent to one mid-tier midfielder to others.”

I’m a Caps fan but that doesn’t make me gag to subsidize a property development disguised as a soccer team. Hope it all works out but Pavco is negotiating (with billionaires) on OUR behalf. Let them cook.

Ironically BC Plc was built because a 35,000 seat facility in E. Van was deemed untenable and only a much larger downtown stadium would guarantee the Whitecaps and Lions survived. Two years later the Caps folded anyway.
But BC Place kept hosting events… Spare some sympathy for owner/tax payers.

Pretty sure Cubas has never allowed a point from Messi with either Paraguay or Vancouver.

VWFC v. LAFC would be the game for bandwagon fans to see. Likely will be a doozy.

Definitely with you. Just remembering the naivety that caused them to drop points against Uruguay, Guatemala etc. There might be a silver lining in a gritty draw against a top team in which they never bunkered, never looked too respectful.

Re: overlaps
I think you gotta respect a Colombia. That would have been a perfect draw in a WC match. The kind of game that gets them into the next round.

No VAR tonight and while the decisions seem slightly tilted in Colombia’s favour, the errors have been even or at least understandable. I don’t miss the multiple-minutes-long interruptions at all.

For once I scooped the ice cream man and found that form on my own.
Richly ironic: this AI match report was for a game played without 23 combined regulars due to injuries and international break, rescheduled to accommodate a cash-grab tournament. When does the game itself qualify as fake?

Totally agree that the 604 Derby is a lamentable moniker. I propose the Re-run Derby: It’s always in black and white, doesn’t initially grab your interest but it just might be a classic.

There have been several moments of hesitation and clumsiness around the box tonight. Sigh.

So… Cascadia match next week with no Cubas, no Ocampo, no Ranko, no Blackmon, no Adekugbe, no Pupe, no Schonlau, no Gauld? No Müller? No problem 😉
Sorensen will handle it while spinning plates on the sideline.
