thanks to everyoen who came for the Shoot on Sat. . was a good time and I think will make a great product!
NOTICE: Wager with STB: OVER 2 shots on goal in the First half wins a Pint at HT.
Wow, the season opener this Saturday and nothing in the papers to start the week?
Be prepared for a solid week of nothing but talk bout the sale of MLSE and the Leafs' playoff push with a gazillion scenarios, whit if's, and rumours that will be beaten to death with over the top analysis and coverage.
My guess is the footy writers will ramp up their articles and blogs as the week goes on.

Gordon Heavyelbow and Cann the comedian
thoughts on Alan Gordon and Adrian Cann.
yeah, I'm up to date.
Interesting this in the Vancouver article...
"We know we don't have 25 players of MLS quality,” Thordarson conceded...
Just the other day we were talking about Winter being 'pro-player' in the media, and comparing that to Carver who would often call guys out in the media...
So, what does everything think...?
Is he making "pre-excuses" in the event they don't start off 'decent'...?
Is it ok for him to admit that b/c it is an expansion club and building doesn't happen overnight...?
Should he have worded it different in respect to "building" and having a hard working, learning group...?
Or is he tossing half his roster under the bus...?
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
thanks. I'm quite looking forward to it, as I've never been to Vancouver. I'm staying in Gastown, but I plan to chekc out as much of the city as I can in between pounding out new copy.
If you have any suggestions as to things I should do or places I should see, please let me know.

I did see an ad on TSN/TSN2 this past weekend talking about MLS and the seasons openers for Vancouver vs TFC.
Here in Ottawa the local footy news is we have a new team in the CSL!

I think he's being a realist more than anything. I don't think most Whitecap supporters are under any illusions with regards to the upcoming season, but some of the new fans might be expecting more and this is a bit of a statement to help bring them back down to Earth. I wouldn't take it as an insult if I were a current Whitecaps player, but it would remind me that USL-level of talent and drive isn't going to fly in MLS. He did make the remark saying that he's confident the squad will adapt, so I don't see anything all that controversial.

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.
I'm the same, agreed completely...
You need to realistic expectations...
Most important thing is he didn't go player-by-player, that would have been not right...
I was just wondering people's thoughts b/c sometimes if a manager says anything negative - it can rub some people the wrong way...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
^ Yeah, singling anyone out, no matter what he really thought of them would have been a morale disaster at a time like this. The whole organization is on edge given how much time and money has been invested into the club for MLS competition. I'm all for managers speaking their minds, but there is a time and place for everything and right now they need all the players and staff focused on the start of the season.

Absoluely...
Although Cash, could you imagine the press conference like this...?
Thor: "...Joe Smith? Ya he's not good enough for this league, but its all I have at left back!..."
Don't think that would have been welcomed! LOL
But damn it would have been entertaining!

I just noticed that My Account Manager, which had been showing the notification of a purchase of my 2011 Partial Pack, is now rather clean.
Perhaps they are preparing to populate it with the electronic tickets soon.
SSG is FIT.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
If you're in Gastown, it's a quick walk west down Water and Cordova streets to the boardwalk at Canada Place, perfect ocean view of the harbour and Grouse Mountain and you'll pass a decent brew pub call Steamworks on the way. From there, you can walk the sea wall around Stanley Park and finish off with the sunset on the beach at English Bay. Stunning. If you like coffee, you cant go wrong with their local purveyor JJ Beans.
I don't think a team in the league has 25 players of MLS quality!
Even on the backend of good teams you have some guys who will soon be cast off to the NASL/USL or whatever.
You'd hope your first 18 are MLS quality, but as we know with TFC over the years, that's been a stretch.
well hopefully they managed to dry it up since it is suppose to be heated don't need another player going down with an injury now do we.

I thought they had the ability to pull the moisture from the pitch?
