@CANSoccerDaily @HarJournalist I’m curious what type of contracts Pavco has given out to the companies that operate the stadium - IE concessions etc. should be a major profit driver with the insane prices, but whitecaps aren’t seeing much of it
English

Seriously concerning comments from Vancouver Whitecaps CEO Axel Schuster on Friday.
He's no longer optimistic about #VWFC's long term future in Vancouver. Improved BC Place deal is impossible.

@Infokid1Infokid @RJHenderson7 I don’t understand how if they’re barely profitable now, hard balling and having your nost consistent drawing tenant leave will improve their situation.
English

@RJHenderson7 It’s a crown Corp owned by the Province if BC. Whitecaps use it the most. Should be a win win.
English

It still makes no sense to me how being difficult to a main partner in your building is beneficial to BC Place/Pavco. If the Caps leave who is filling all of those dates? Taylor Swift ain’t doing 20+ shows here a year. Concerning stuff.

@jswan11WBCnats @RainCityFC604 @RJHenderson7 They’re top 10 in the league in attendance, but last in revenue. Seems like there is a gap in terms of revenue generated through tickets. I doubt they’re that much cheaper than the rest of the league.
English

@RainCityFC604 @RJHenderson7 Not strong enough.
Not in a market that size.
Opened upper tank how many times?
Ask this —are announced attendances accurate? Whitecaps (and Lions and Giants) were outed not long ago by BIV (google it) for false announced attendances.
The revenues they need are in more tix sales.

@GlassCityFC Honestly not hard for Eby to say they support the whitecaps and look forward in signing a renewed deal that benefits all parties.

@The3rdSub There a WFC2 game in the next few weeks? Don’t want Tak to get fat
English

FT Thoughts:
-Complete one-way traffic, comprehensive domination.
-Ahmed, Sabbi, Müller, all with very strong showings.
-Halbouni and Priso not really tested.
-Zero shots for FC Dallas.

@The3rdSub Lack of roster depth is harsh - given the number of injuries and the specific positions impacted. No teams will keep 6-7 interchangeable CB on their roster
English

FT Thoughts:
-A big last 15 minutes from Vancouver, crazy they'll leave this game thinking they should have claimed all three points.
-Lack of roster depth finally starting to show, Ahmed and White made a big difference late.
-Berhalter such a threat from the dead ball.

Worth noting that both Sam Adekugbe and Mathias Laborda are not on the bench.

@GlassCityFC @AlldayGj Curious where he ends up. It sure he’s worth DP money, but still a guy you would love on the team
English

It's so funny how Canadians will literally not sing O Canada in French just to spite Quebec and then sing it in Punjabi just to prove how tolerant they are. The level of contempt for Quebec and the French fact in Canada is just insane.
Spittin' Chiclets@spittinchiclets
Winnipeg makes history by performing Canada’s national anthem in Punjabi for the first time in the NHL.

@THEChrisKessell What would removing Canadian teams from MLS do? Canadian teams still participating in Canadians version of open cup
English

Options for US Soccer in response to MLSs statement about the @opencup if they want to fight.
1. Pull D1 sanctioning for MLS
2. Make MLS register all MLS2 players with D1 team and pull D3 sanctioning since D3 team won't be playing in USOC as required.
English

@24thminute I still don’t understand how the start times benefit apple. Why wouldn’t they want games throughout the day va 2 time slots?
English

@GlassCityFC Glad headlines are about Teibert option vs Gauld extension… not sure about the caps priorities
