Sea-to-Sea Podcast S04-E01: Opening Weekend

Vanni's anger management courses clearly didn't work. Starting to meltdown towards the press. He did apologize after. But I think the stress is getting to him. He's out of ideas and the club has collapsed a the worst possible time. They're not finishing Top 4. They don't even look like they'll avoid the play-in game anymore, and they might not even host that.

No website number for Vancouver vs Valour: https://canpl.ca/matchcentre/awnxb9kynf7dh66380ucpdbtg/highlights But even with the very generous ticket deals it clearly wasn't easy to entice people out to the stadium. Only made it through the first 30 minutes of the soccer before I decided to give the rest a miss because it didn't look to me like either side really wanted to win. There were plenty of wide angle shots of the camera side seats showing sections that were far from full.

There is the possibility that if they host the play-in game there could be a conflict. Motocross event on the weekend that requires some set up in advance. But nothing is confirmed.

This is not correct. The referee's whistle is not required before a free kick can be taken unless the referee expressly tells the taker to wait for the whistle. This is usually only when the referee is booking a player or if the taker requests that the referee count the minimum 10 yards out so that the defending team doesn't encroach. Most restarts, whether they be throw-ins, goal kicks, corner kicks, or free kicks occur without the referee having to whistle. The only restart that always requires a whistle is a penalty kick.

best coach in cpl history running the best franchise in cpl history...deserves a shot in mls or maybe even greece or cyprus soon  

Swangard. They need some winning vibes. 

Valour does have GD against Pacific 6-5, but yeah, all three results still have to go their way.

Plus they were in the top flight last year, so good bet to be going straight back up. And considering they are part of the Lyon-Palace-Botafogo family, resources probably won't be an issue.  I expect Poku will be in the Belgian top flight next season.
