Vancouver FC - 2023 Season Thread

Starting to get a better picture of the team:

                         Irving
Chung^     Romeo   Martínez*    Crawford 

              Henry*  Bitar  Simmons

Sandoval                                      Mares*                    
                         Hundal              


*I expect when it comes to experience they will add another starting LW (don't think thats really where Mares plays), CM and CB. Kane, Marcus Simmons and if Ghotbi's words are anything to go by Moazeni Zadeh will all get solid minutes too.

^Chung hasn't been announced yet.

A CPL team signs a foreign player I've actually heard of!! 😛 

Pretty sure Sandoval was on the Chivas team that defeated Toronto in the CCL Final.

How the heck does someone like Sandoval fit in our cap league? I'd assume he's been making pretty decent money up until now

Isn't he coming from A-Leaugue?

Now the CSB/CSA agreement is getting blown up the clubs are each going to spend their next 10 year planned budgets on one player each for the final CPL season.

On loan from Chivas. Even still, isn't the average A league salary around $200k?

Going to guess Chivas is covering most of his salary.

Which isn't uncommon.

LOL. Maybe I should read better.

Well didn't Diaz come from Mexico too?

He did, but he was younger and I don't think his resume was quite as impressive even though he played for some big clubs like America. He never quite broke through there, whereas Sandro has 200+ appearances. Perhaps Sandro, like Diaz is just looking to play abroad though, considering he was just in Australia.

So Vancouver fc beat Whitecaps2 3-1 today 

Promising. I'm guessing some long stretches with experimental lineups given the three 45 minute segments.

I think Diaz played in a CCL semifinal against Toronto

If you look at the #WFC2 twitter feed you see clips, including their goal. Caps score first as Becher gets the rebound off the post of a Coupland shot. Going into the last 45 minutes VFC score two successive penalties. Then another late.

Played  at one of the pitches at UBC with piles of snow.

I saw they're playing a game that's open to the public and will double as their jersey launch. Sounds cool but unfortunately it's at Minoru Park which couldn't be further away from Langley. Oh well no biggie I guess

I heard this too,  but didn't realise it had been announced already. My son is playing in a match just before at the same facility so I will definitely check it out.
