For me he was a weak link on the back line and really struggled at this level. It's not about appearances, it's about the facts. Definitely should be able to improve on him.

masster Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I am pleasantly surprised by the signing of Bah. In the few WFC2 games that I watched at the beginning of last season, he was one of the players that stood out to me. It sounds like his second half of the season wasn't as promising, however at 19 years old, he is worth taking a shot on in my opinion. As an Ottawa native, it is interesting he decided to stay in Vancouver and not return home. Perhaps Atletico is so stacked they didn't need him?

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 When can we expect this year's kit reveal? I was not that keen about last year's, and in that case they were rushed perhaps. I realize others in fact liked it. The black is a solid foundation to work on, and the red detailing. So looking forward to what they do this year.

Footyeh Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) No idea how they will fair this season, but the squad dropped a friendly the other day against a makeshift team consisting of Douglas College and VMSL players 2-1... An additional 30 minute scrimmage was played after the 90 that featured trialists whom won 1-0. Interestingly, Massud Habibullah (who was trialing with VFC last year) scored the goals for the makeshift team.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Not what you want to happen as an emerging pro team because news of that will likely be spreading like wildfire in VMSL circles at this point in a that team's no better than our top clubs sort of way.

nolando Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 They also played a team made up of mostly Whitecaps NextPro players the other day and did okay. I wouldn't panic just yet. RJB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not panicking...he's hopeful. This is him just shovelling more shit on the CPL in hopes of the league folding so that his American overlords can take charge of the Canadian domestic game and run it like a proper bus league.

They’ll stay in VMSL for pride and a chance to win preseason friendlies. TFC lost to a u17 team and drew a women’s team in early days I believe… find me a person who draws conclusions off club preseason friendlies and I’ll find you a person who knows nothing about footy. narduch and longlugan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) Some of the stuff that gets posted on here is comic. I was hearing about amateur teams from London, Ont beating the London Lasers and Toronto Lynx in similar circumstances for years afterwards with exactly the spin I am describing placed upon it. You need to have practice games against someone but if it's lower level local teams it's best to demonstrate that you are a clear step up in quality from them when doing so or people will inevitably start to talk. Perceptions matter and there are reasons why the local soccer community have not been falling over themselves to buy tickets to see York United and Vancouver FC.

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I had no idea that Vancouver FC's first season in CPL was fatally marred third-hand perception of poor results in the preseason, which scared droves of local soccer fans away from the stadium and from pro soccer on that side of the Fraser River. Pretty well forever. Their loss, but that's what you get for eyeballing. Bbeto and CDNFootballer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatSA Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I like what the team showed in its final stretch of matches after a not unexpected tough start as an expansion team. Some young Cancon emerged and really helped to make this team a tough out during those final weeks. I hope that they can build on the momentum out of the gate this season. longlugan and masster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
