Looking at Vancouvers lineup and I'm wondering if they moved to somewhere in the USA?

Where are all the Canadians! 
Where are all the Southsiders or whitecaps fans, this is embarrassing lol.

Not going to lie, I do love how the Mexican fans travel.  Good on them.

Late arrivals still flowing in.

If they're Vancouver fans they're definitely arriving late and leaving early

This why I love these small stadiums like starlight , there are almost less than half of what was there at Tim Hortons Field but the atmosphere at Starlight comes across so much better . I can just imagine how it feels and looks being there at that stadium . Going forward we need more of these types of stadiums as the CPL goes forward and adds new teams .

Pitch still looks arse.

To be fair, doesn't seem to play too untrue but still.  Just screams B!, as in "budget", field.

I tuned in early and stopped watching early.... from the goal post you put, looks like they have filled in.

I fell asleep at the end of Forge and woke up for the goal basically

You know this Onesoccer streaming service is not half bad. I'm thinking it's got a big future 

[Mihairokov]

Whyyyy do you go down to ground in midfield forty seconds into the second half?? Awful card to take.

[Bison44]

White just seems to be in the right spot all the time.  2-0.  BOOOOOO! no goal....

That's definitely coming back for offside on the original through pass, no?

The best thing about CPL is no VAR.
