Fan's Corner - What did you prepare for the coming campaign?

[lamptern]

No matter what the outcome could be, as a loyalty Voyageur, I got prepared with something to support our teams:

1. Canada Soccer Men's Nike Dri-FIT Legend 2.0 Tee

2. Canada Soccer Nike Campus Adjustable Cap

 

3. Subscribed OneSoccer to follow our warriors from 1st second they fight.

4. Plenty of beer.

 

What did you prepare for the party?

my heart... which will most likely end up broken

I renewed my OS account - helps the Nats and CPL.  Other than that, I don’t buy much merch anymore.   With two kids pretty much constantly in multiple sports, the fees/camps/gear eats up lots of discretionary funds.  Plus I have been trying to get some early Davies and David soccer cards lately so that is using up my fun-money.

I completed a reno in my basement so I have a nice viewing area setup. It’s full of breakables to smash and pillows to cry into but it’s sound proof and cordoned off from the rest of the house so the dogs and kids are safe. Once these games are over and the eventual disappointment sets in I’ve designed the room so that it can be walled off and never thought of again.

You may need a much much larger house.

Alternatively you just need enough space to hold one grown man, balled up into the fetal position, watching the game on his iPhone, while rocking back and forth crying.  That isn’t a major reno.

When past nightmares are forgotten and the optimism returns, probably in June, I’ll wonder “what’s behind this brick doorway?” I’ll break down the wall and the process starts over. It’s kind of like eating at Red Lobster, you go there, you love it, you feel like shit, you swear you’ll never go back. Then months pass and you forget how terrible it made you feel and you think “hmmm, Red Lobster is delicious, I should go there for dinner tonight!”

In red all day. All 4 items I prepared worked well. Hopefully we are on winning streak all the way.

That could even be something done in a park or city square, but you should ask local government to design public space accordingly.

A craft beer brewery named Fixed Gear from Guelph is by far the most hipster thing I have ever heard of.

Being top craft brewery in Guelph and a hipster operation are definitely not mutually exclusive.

Weather couldn't be better in Vancouver, Mood couldn't be better in my mind, Score couldn't be better tonight!!!

Another all day in red.

Unfortunately I will be on the road for the first half. But I managed to VCR it. Won't  miss a single  minute  when I am home.🤣

eBay mostly.  I bought a couple, and then someone on here sent me one I needed.  Since then things have been spiralling.

Are Canada jerseys with names on the back available anywhere?

[nolando]

You can probably buy them on Cayman Islands' Craigslist by the end of the weekend.

13 years after sign in the forum, 3 days before a critical game vs Panama, I became an official Voyageur member tonight.

Also ordered a 25th anniversary scarf for January games...
