@onesoccer @TELUS That goal reminds me of Dominic Mobilio’s goal against Honduras at Swangard Stadium.

MEMORABLE MOMENT ✨ Presented by @telus This Tani Oluwaseyi strike came from an audacious angle for the CanMNT 🇨🇦 vs. Honduras – what a hit! 📐 What's your favourite Tani Oluwaseyi memory? 👀

@perianudan @DonTaylor5 You hit the nail on the head

@DonTaylor5 We're in a socio-political climate which does not allow for excitement without fear of criticism. Maybe not for Expo, but there were negatives to the Olympics however people did not fear for social exile by embracing the spirit of sport due to political difference.

From Expo 86 to the 2010 Olympics, I can’t remember an event coming to Vancouver more surrounded by negativity and indifference than the World Cup.

@JohnMolinaro @SimonFudge74 True. But it’s still tough to play with so many injured

@RataganCan @SimonFudge74 Vancouver is a far better and much deeper team than Toronto.

13 of the 27 players on #TFCLive's current roster are unavailable tonight due to injury. That's 48 per cent of the roster. In all my years of covering Toronto FC, I don't ever recall an injury situation as bad as this.

@AaronYVR @perianudan Do they have the salary cap space to do that?

@perianudan They need to renew him and pay him what he is worth.

Sebatian Berhalter is the best contract in MLS. $480k salary. 13 G+A in just 12 games. $36,923 per goal contribution — the cheapest elite production in the league by a very healthy kilometre. #VWFC

@MoeKhan19 @sportsrage Yet the European model of pro/rel consistently creates leagues where one or two teams dominate everyone else, leading to less competition.

@sportsrage This would never happen in Europe, supporters would put the fear into ownership. Frustrating with the MLS model of no pro/rel format that enables teams to do as they please. It would create more competition.

Stadium in Dallas is legit empty but they want take Caps away .make it make sense #MLS

@WhitecapsFC Struck with venom!

WOW 🤯 What a strike from Berhalter 🔥 #DAL 1 - 1 #VAN

@jackschach Based on the Ali Ahmed trade MLS is about on par with the championship. He couldn’t score here but over there he is like a hot knife through butter.

MLS offers markedly worse play than most of Europe, and pretending that isn’t the case is equally immature for the sake of the argument.

We always talk about the legendary male players… let’s hear it for the women. Who’s your favorite female guitarist? 🎸

@jman11110 @JayJanower @GlobalBC The First Nations own the racetrack land.

@JayJanower @GlobalBC Why are natives at the table? What do they have to do with bc? Why not the local Chinese, Thai or Pakistan lobbyists?

Good Whitecaps news on the horizon? @GlobalBC Sports has learned FIFA VP Victor Montagliani, representatives of 3 local First Nations bands, City of Vancouver, Provincial/Fed govt and MLS officials meeting on Weds..hope is to get MOU signed on new 4-5yr BC Place.

@capnsnow @WhitecapsFC Even at 5,700 there is not enough room for parking.

@RataganCan @WhitecapsFC Has to be 4x larger. Holds about 7000. In bleachers on other side, have 10000 and 3500 in each end zone. 24000

🇨🇦🏆🏟️🔜

@capnsnow @WhitecapsFC Not big enough

@WhitecapsFC Good site for a new stadium. Right on Skytrain line. Think about it.

@KevinNguyen_89 Do keep in mind Vancouver was missing Müller, Gauld (Our best player before he got injured), Vesalinovic (our best defender), Adikubi (sp)(our best left back), Priso, Schonlau, Halbouni, and Djordjevic.

The threadbare Quakes suffered for long stretches at home, but salvage a point against the dangerous Whitecaps. Bruce Arena’s team remains first in the standings. The World Cup break can’t come soon enough.

@myfriendtheend @sportsrage Check out Forbes annual report on MLS teams. $300 million is likely o little bit low. Don’t discount the cost of setting up academies in every province west of Ontario and the exchange rate - earnings in Canada$, wages in US$

@sportsrage Hmmmm Caps lose, on average $8-$10M USD Year. I’d say Kerfoot et al have lost close to $100M USD

if a team that gets 27k a game with a bottom tier roll and losing 45 mil a year then MLS is biggest scam in world history BUT this is an insane lie lol

@PeteSchaad Did they also have academies in every province west of Ontario (I’m not sure about the territories). All had to be setup pretty much from scratch.

That’s a lot of overhead with fluctuating dollars adding a premium. Maximizing every possible commercial revenue source helps. But you also need academy players moving upward or onward to justify that expense. I’m not sure that’s happened enough over these 15 years. 2/2

When the Whitecaps group joined MLS, the exchange rate was almost at par. That changed significantly after 2015. It’s always an issue for CDN sports entities in US Leagues. On top of 1st team, add academy leagues at U16 & U18, and the reserve program in MLS Next Pro. 1/2

@vancityrob18823 @PeteSchaad It’s nice to dream. They have lost well over $300 million since joining MLS.

@PeteSchaad I think that 20 to 25 million they got for Davies pretty much covers their costs.

@Candyappltrding @xczimi @morbital You sound like you think they have not been trying, they have try so many different things.

@RataganCan @xczimi @morbital As someone in sales you have to go get the business not the other way around

#drunkPeter is back. I'm quite bemused how both municipal and provincial politics getting tangled up in the "business" of a local sport club and its extraordinary ties to the local community (read: constituents) Nobody can take the "Love Vegas" stance. Love it #saveTheCaps

@Terence75852488 @Buckfoston No one should be negotiating in public

@Buckfoston MLS has probably told them to stay quiet.

Per Dhali, he's been told Whitecaps ownership, Kerfoot, Nash are not going to talk and we just have to get over it.

@Candyappltrding @xczimi @morbital Corporate Vancouver has never supported the Whitecaps.

@xczimi @morbital Exactly that is with leadership. They blame corporate sponsors but there is enough businesses to support a MLS team in the city. We are much bigger pop wise then alot of US MLS cities

@chosengoof @n1454k @theepicmap Faster would be better

@n1454k @theepicmap I am

Why is the Canadian side of the Okanagan Country more populated than the American side?
