Why are almost all MLS games at 7:30pm local time? Wouldn’t afternoon games on the weekend attract more fans to the stadium? Seems like we had a few earlier in the season but now it’s all 7:30pm, which is a bit late.

The Canadian Championship match against Pacific FC on July 10th happens to fall on some time off from work, so I got a ticket and I'm going to make the trip over there to see the game. As the title says, I don't have a car, and while I have been to Victoria before, only once or twice, and it's been several years. I'm looking at some different options from taking a seaplane to just using city buses, and I was wondering if someone with more experience travelling there than me has any tips on the best/easiest/cheapest way.

Just wondering where in Vancouver I could watch the game today, as the game is only on Apple I think. Fable downtown shows the games, right? Anywhere else?

Couple of die hard caps fan down in Portland for the big game tommorow just wondering where the away fans go to get together !? Cheers!

I know that one of the goals today was a deflection, but my feeling for Takaoka for a long time now is I don't really trust him in in between the sticks.

Yohei biggest weakness is those long shots. We've seen him save many point-blank chances but from distance it's almost guaranteed the opposition will score. And jsut in general he plays in a way that doesn't give you confidence in him, it almost makes you nervous! Compared to MLS goalkeepers elsewhere Yoehi does not have that size or presence in goal.

Isaac meanwhile players with a certain confidence and swagger. When he filled in for a few times during past injury crisis and when he's played in the Canadian Championship, he looks right on it. And if we lose or draw a game that he's played, I can't recall him being a main reason for the loss. He's pretty steady.

I believe the Whitecaps are underutilizing Boehmer. He's 22, I want to see this guy play proper MLS minutes!

I purchased tickets from a verified sale via Ticketmaster. Why don't I get free tickets for those? I acquired them through legitimate means and attended the game. Wouldn't Ticketmaster recognize me as the ticket holder??

Hey everyone,

I just noticed SVP now has the Bloodlines jersey available in both "Authentic" & "Replica" versions.

These ones are neat because they don't feature TELUS on the chest.

$99 / $39

Authentic version
