    Congratulations. I'm glad that another Canadian franchise will be joining TFC in the MLS.

    Now kindly fuck off to your own board.

    Shouldn't you be shooting up herion in some dark, dirty alley?

    Sounds like those junkies got it pretty posh.

    Hopefully the city finds some time to put the needles down and support their team.

    Please don't tell me you live in either Vancouver or Montreal if you are bringing up this issue.

    Because unless you have been living under a rock or are massively uninformed, there is a gang war in Vancouver right now.

    And I am sorry but Toronto has never had the biker wars of Montreal, bombs and all.

    Word is Don Garber has a hotel room booked in Vancouver this week...

    The spectacular Living Shangri-La, $ 595 / night.

    While steep, remember he's coming to Vancouver to sign a $ 40 million contract, so $ 595 / night is nothing up against $ 40 million.

    He's also travelling to Seattle to be updated on prep for the season kickoff Thursday.

    I'd imagine he will meet with Merritt Paulson and the Portland bid people and City Staff and try to get things smoothed over.

    Don't you just get the feeling that Garber wants all this Vancouver talk to light a fire under Ottawa to get approval?

    And you wonder why Sport Billy, Jonnie Monster and the rest keep red carding your sorry ass at BigSoccer. Unless you have anything to back that up, STFU!

    I honestly don't know how someone can endorse a team run by Bob Lenarduzzi. Before the National team had Dale Mitchell they had an even bigger wanker named Bob Lenarduzzi. He was the greatest proponent of "dump and chase" football. He had a 4 foot tall striker in Pesch and would have the team hoof it down to him.........he played Radzinski in midfield instead of striker............he is a clueless moron......

    Lenarduzzi will not be coaching the team.

    It is possible to be a good executive after having a poor stint as national team coach (which is debatable given Canada's talent pool back then, IMO).

    Possibly.......but I am still bitter and will never believe otherwise.

    I guess Martin Nash has a job with this club for the rest of his life with his brother coming on as part owner.

    Bob L, is a class act & a true football pioneer. He is a knowledgeable Footie guy, who served his country well.

    The burning question, as I see it, is this: Does the league have the guts to expand into Canada not only with one team, but with two? There will be one for sure and it will be Vancouver.
    LOL look at the first comment that was left;
    And just how do you know there will be at least one Canadian city given an MLS team, Gerry? I've said it before and I'll say it again, Major League Soccer was originaly started to help build a talent pool for the U.S. Soccer Federation, which works closely with the league hand in hand. Toronto was extremely lucky to land a team when they did, and even so there are soccer fans in the United States who despise TFC's presence in "their league" and want us to start up our own equivelant league and get out of MLS altogether.

    don't pop that yet in till next week

    According to the radio station, sources have informed them that MLS officials will be in the city next week to officially award the expansion franchise.

    there is one more expansion team to be awarded and three cities are still in the hunt: Portland, St. Louis and Ottawa.

    portland supporter group is what mls needs but ottawa is what canada needs to

    there wait for the 1st mls game to say anything

    mls has 8 west teams & 7 east team phi will be 8. so i think mls wants one new team in the west & east
