    CONCACAF Nations League

    As we return to the Club Footballing season (COYG!!), i just wanted to give John Herdman and the CMNT a big thumbs up for their recent performance. Yes it was against a "minnow" however, I thought that the quality of the players that made up the team was in and of itself a good sign for the...

    CONCACAF Nations League

    I must admit that I am excited about the new Concacaf Nations League format that has started this week. It's something that I believe will help strengthen the region and in particularly our CMNT. After the initial seeding round is done, national teams will get to compete with each other in...

    Canadian Premier League - Startup Spring 2019?

    Mud indeed! I blame the ambiguity of my previous post on the inhalation of too much smoke (BC forest fire kind). Agree that they need to find a better solution / location. I'm not privy to all of the history in the region so it may seem funny when i ask "What about Swanguard Stadium?

    Canadian Premier League - Startup Spring 2019?

    So it would seem that the roll out of announcements for the first teams in the newly minted Canadian Premier League (CPL) are complete. Seven teams so far. They were originally hoping for 8 to 10 teams to begin next season. Interestingly the team slated or hoped for the lower mainland went to...

    Arsenal's Mesut Ozil

    In the spirit of "a little hyperbole never hurt anyone". “Lasting six seconds from the first touch until the moment it nestles in the back of the net and so exquisite it deserves to play on an endless loop until the end of time, Mesut Ozil's winning goal against Ludogorets could be enough to...

    ENGLISH PREM LEAGUE 2016/17

    Another 3 points for the Gunners in Champions League. Almost made a mess of it at the start but righted the ship in time to go top of the group. Next up Spurs who have their own CL match to play tomorrow. Going to be a heck of a derby day at the weekend.

    5 District Schedules for 2016-2017?

    The U11 & U12 divisions in Dist 5 have been "tiered further" by splitting them up into A,B, & C sub-divisions. Most of the sub-divisions have 10 teams each, with a couple of exceptions that have 8 or 12 teams. Looks like they're moving things gradually to avoid potentially jumping the gun on...

    NHL & Canucks 2016/2017

    This year's Halloween costume will be me wearing a Canucks jersey, with stylized "dumpster on fire" for head gear. ;)

    October 7th - October 10th Weekend Recaps

    Thank you for that. We agree that increasing coaching standards is fundamentally more important as it pertains to improving player development in Canada. At the end, the whole will be greater than the sum of its' parts :D

    October 7th - October 10th Weekend Recaps

    To clarify, the Wesburn tournament which we participated in over the thanksgiving weekend did not have any finals. Each team in their various groups (Gold, Silver, etc.) played four games. Everyone received a medal. Scores and results were were kept by the official in charge of the match...

    October 7th - October 10th Weekend Recaps

    Had a confidence building tournament at the Wesburn Mini-Gobbler over the weekend. Our U11's went undefeated in the Gold category and recorded clean sheets throughout. Unfortunately one of the sides should not have been placed in the "bracket" however, the other matches were more competitive...

    Wkat is your opinion: Defensive vs Offensive game

    Sounds like the understanding and trust established between your CBs translated well up front. My guess is they may be some of your best athletes as well. Treat the situation as a bonus and as an option that not many other teams have. In short, go back to your traditional formation, and...

    Metro Select Schedule for 2016-2017?

    Pity. Could they not come to terms by simply allowing the private option to coexist alongside of the club's program? Yes field times and conflicts can and will arise, but how do either of the parties involved win when there is no established team to play for/with? Needs to be a middle...

    September 30th - October 2nd Weekend Recaps

    Last match before our version of an International Break, otherwise known in these parts as Thanksgiving Tournament Weekend!! Our lads in D5 came up against some weaker opposition which made for a lopsided score line. However it did afford the opportunity to play our goalie & defenders out as...

    Caps Club Night

    Great to be a part of Caps Club night yesterday (despite the disappointing result). Gives our youth an idea of what support for your team means during challenging times. Thanks to the Whitecaps for continuing to provide and keep a positive atmosphere in our greater soccer community.
