Cloudy at the moment and cool. Would make for perfect weather it it stays this way.

[Lurker]

Hopefully the crowd gets entertained with lots of goals.  3-2, 4-3… would be a good result either way.

[EnigMattic1]

You just know Tahid will come on late in the game. I mean, he is already the youngest ever CPL player signed to a standard deal, Vancouver will put him in the record books again as the youngest player to play in the CPL in their first ever home game too.

2-0 Cavs.

Supporters' end looks nice and full. Main stands do not.

why the heck are there soooo many empty seats at kickoff?? are there parking or transportation issues??

[SoccMan]

Put a roof over these stands and that’s what every team in this league should be playing in, never mind these massive 25000 plus stadiums with 5000 people in them .

It’s a Canada  or North American soccer thing even in MLS   get their late and then leave early after getting up a thousand times for beer and food .

The league wouldnt exist without the Bluebombers and Ticats looking for another venture to fill additional dates in their football stadiums.

If you have an extra few million burning a hole in your pocket, call up Valour and Forge and contribute.

Jenkins is calling it a current 6200 capacity with construction still underway so guess they werent able to get it in time to the 6560 initial capacity that is supposed to be

Romeo just got red carded

[Soccerpro2]

I don't see how that's a red card. Very poor decision by the ref.

I get it and relax with the “ if I had an extra few million in my pocket” crap .

[cornerkick]

wow, that was a harsh decision...

in other news, onesoccer should make the red graphic larger, and move it above the team name/logo...

its like 4 pixels large 🤣

Absolutely a red. Goes through the player, doesn't get the ball, shoulder and elbow contact to the head. "Intent to injure" is not actually a thing that matters. Reckless and dangerous.

[Cheeta]

Yeesh.  Rocco is going to do plenty of shit over the season that should get him a card, pick your flavour, but that was maybe a bit harsh.

Had to have looked different from field level. 

Oof.  That was close.

[Big_M]

bevan has to put that on target...overthinks it and puts it out
