and a minute in gee puts them up as they should be

[Big_M]

couple minutes later bitar with a huge chance puts it wide

[jonovision]

The Greek defender is yikes. Vancouver has the worst roster in the league, Valour aside. Long season incoming.

bitar finishes this time...3-1 under an hour

[Wippersuna]

Is it too late to cancel Valour season tickets?

lol faria dives in the box and gets his second yellow

Clown college refereeing. If it's not a foul the feet were still tangled.

I don't want to think about what this Valour team will look like against one of the good teams.

72' tahid navarro kibato in for garcia diaz bitar and sukunda in for verhoeven

[Wippersuna]

Someone should tell Wade Miller that having a team like this isn’t going to bring in 5000 fans.

78' crawford in for dyer

[Big_M]

4-1 final

heavy loss here and away games coming against pacific forge ottawa who won their home openers...gotta wonder if dos santos will still be around at valours home opener june 2nd

Valour spent a lot of effort rebuilding their defense.  Unfortunately Chantzopoulos has Valour fans missing Cela and Pianelli.

Zero chance Wade Miller will pay for two coaches this season. PDS gets the year.

Willing to wait and see what it looks like when the other Greek fella is healthy.

Enjoyed that today. Perfect weather, perfect temperature. Great result. Stadium half full, starting to show signs of life though.

Good choice to prioritize filing up the east stand for visual purposes on the broadcast (will be brutal though in full sun wirh zero shade as it gets closer to summer).

Great second half on the pitch, Langley with a deep bench even missing three to injury. The reboot is promising.

Thought I heard the attendance as 4,038? Looked like more than usual there.

This deep into the Valour experience, reports of fans of other teams having a nice time enjoying a win just makes me angry. Valour doesn't even have to be involved for this to happen.

Had a great time out there today. I haven't seen the highlights or replays, but I thought Vancouver was really good. A win helps put butts in seats, a big win does one better, but a big win they played well to earn takes the cake. I thought the atmosphere was good, and that is a promising crowd. 

Granted we were at the park, but I saw lots of team gear.

I'm not sure they did.  We bought tickets for the east stand (four people) and got upgraded to the west stand. Much better seats actually.  So perhaps this is just a coincidence.
