don't worry, once soccer becomes big time, TSN will jump on the bandwagon

speaking of TSN I was watching some of these old clips of Vanny in the CSL... TSN really covered soccer back then when they needed it. lenarduzzi is in one of the videos.

Possibly.......but I am still bitter and will never believe otherwise.Originally Posted by Rudi
I guess Martin Nash has a job with this club for the rest of his life with his brother coming on as part owner.
Did you know that Vancouver also has a large Japanese population.......and some of those Japanese probably supported the J-league...........and the J-league is on this evening............and I wonder if there are any P2P links to any fixtures?
Yeah i know about the high amount of Japanese out there they'll probably get a J-league team as a friendly and iam jealous. Theres links PM you.
M.U.F.C.U.M GAMBA OSAKA Toronto FC
Sign Nakata !!
so what will be the team name
The Vancouver/Seattle rivalry should be good for them.
That said, Vancouver, die.
The Canucks!
Will the Caps still exist in the USL?
Or will they create another franchise?
Or will it only be MLS
Whew... it is getting lonely in the USL for a certain team...
That's all I'll say about that.
yep and it will even sweeter when ottawa gets a team ....lol

Great news for both soccer in Vancouver and across Canada. Away trips to the West Coast will be beyond awesome. And of course, its something else we can rub in the face of Montreal.
Look, Toronto got the ball rolling with TFC and now Vancouver is proving that we're ready to play in the top league (no slight intended against USL). Hopefully Montreal can get its shit sorted out and we'll be set.
Just some advice if any of the Whitecaps brass is watching - Don't drop the Whitecaps name!

Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
The more Canadian teams the merrier.Now were go to kick Vancouver's ass!TFC Till I DIE!
I think its an obligation to leave the USL, im not sure if the name is owned by the league, if it is then prob Vancouver Soccer Club aka the White Caps (as their nickname) if not then prob Vancouver White Caps
Drink up! Be merry!
It's a celebration!
they will be a vote for team name just like they do for all new teams.
I assume TSN likes this story because it involves the Canadian golden boy, Mr. Steve Nash.
I think a cross the country trip in a van would be awsome.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
I did it last year for the NCC and it was a good time... the city is beautiful (full of crackheads) but beautiful and there are lot of football fans in swangard...the crowd lacks excitement but the fans are knowledgable football fans...
^^^Vancouver will keep the Whitecaps name, and if Portland gets their shit together, they'll be called the Timbers.
I wish the Whitecaps success off the field, and hope the Whitecraps are a disaster on the field
Well done Vancouver if this pans out!! I'd be very pleased to finally have a derby. Those tic tac tabernac novices must be really burning up right now...I LOVE IT!!!
congratz....great soccer town...by the way, fuck off and can't wait to kick your ass....
Will MLS refer to this as an expansion team? Or will they say that the whitecaps are joining the MLS and this will be a continuation of their history as a club.
Those videos are great. I'm always surprised when I watch old clips of Dale Mitchell playing football. I find it ironic that such an offensively-skilled NASL player and later CSL player could employ such negative tactics when coaching our MNT.
If they schedule Van and Sea (and maybe Portland midweek) on back-to-back weekends, wow...
Still possibly the only known RPB to appear on Masterchef Canada.
(I think?)
Sort of...maybe on their website. But definitely not on Sportscentre. I watched it today for the first time in months to see if they said anything about this and nothing, not 10 seconds. But there was plenty on hockey, basketball and curling!
I would visit vancouver but it is a shit hole that pales in comparison to toronto. so fuck off. i can't wait for our boys to beat you.
Welcome to MLS, though with Adidas as a league wide sponsor I don't think that playing in Birkenstocks will go over all that well.
And can somebody finally give those guys a soccer ball? I can't wait to see their faces when they find out how much bigger it is than a hackey sack.

LOL look at the first comment that was left;
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
