I love rugby, cricket, and soccer. My music tastes are obscure (somewhat niche and mostly outdated).

Edmonton, Alberta #yeg #CanPL #ccmsky
Wrong stadium, poor game day experience, poor record, and the ownership relying solely on fans to increase attendance on their own accord in both cases.

I don't think either city will get a CanPL club again without a decent mid sized stadium being built first.

I miss the times you guys would come to Edmonton.

I have driven down to a couple Cavalry matches and love what you guys do.

I think we understand each other now.

I am sorry that I am only discovering your Bluesky account now.

So you proved my point that this has been the most stable league in terms of clubs not folding just to argue with me?

I don't make a living writing about the sport, but I have written about NA leagues in the past.

You are looking from the eyes of a European, but I am looking at from past leagues.

I am a literal expert on soccer leagues in North America. No other fully professional league has ever had this kind of success in terms of clubs not folding. Not even MLS. They had two fold in the fifth season.

"In just seven years."

No league in the US and Canada has had less instability than the #CanPL.

FC Edmonton was a result of years of overspending in the NASL.

Two clubs in seven years is remarkable, and the remaining clubs are doing well with York finally picking up a little bit of steam.

Exactly this.

Like a captain steering the ship into the iceberg while flipping everyone the bird.

Probably for the best.

So he is a pussy.

Both teams played under the exact same conditions. That is the way it is sometimes.

Maybe he should play elsewhere as he is too weak and whiny to play in Canada.

He didn't lipsync, he was genuinely into it, the two guitarists with him were fun and talented, and I thought it was entertaining.

I hate the likes of Italy and Portugal like you cannot understand, and during the match I think things like "every Italian is a pussy."

However, I watch rugby and it is the exact opposite. It sunshine and kittens and endless love for everyone.

I love Italian rugby so incredibly much.

Why is this?

This is a godsend for USL.

MLS franchises in Vancouver, Seattle, Minneapolis, Toronto, Montréal, and New York are going to suffer heavily in terms of attendance.

USL must keep their current schedule and absolutely explode in attendance for the fans that want nice, summer matches with cold beer.
