In newer news, Vancouver is aiming to become only the second team in the league with its own NASL team right in New Westminister. Only the Galaxy do now.

The Impact announced they are creating a new club, Montreal FC, that will compete in the USL Pro league. The club will consist of players between the age of 18 and 24 so they don't jump directly from the academy to the MLS and be overwhelmed.

One could easily use such logic on the CFL too but it would be pointless to take this conversation there. On this page we have people from Quebec, Ontario and BC commenting on their MLS teams, so it has clearly got a following across the country (I know of people in Saskatchewan and Newfoundland too who follow Canadian MLS teams). Not to mention the rapid growth in popularity of this sport in our country.

I think what will bridge the gap coast to coast is the pyramid growth not a national league.

Watching Actual Canadians climb from USL-NASL-MLS, I think will be as relevant as making the Europa league, College football, or even the Juniors at XMAS.

Go whitecaps go.

Vancouver versus Seattle. A true darby. 55000 people. Shown nationally in both countries. Rivals since 1974. Seattle is the best team in the league. The winner becomes the regional champion (Cascadia Cup). Vancouver is reigning champion.

We win!!! And now were in a playoff spot with 2 games remaining!

Denscity · #69 Posted **Oct 11, 2014, 4:25 AM**

What a huge win! Playoff position is looking better and better.

Vancouver is pratically sure to qualify for CCL next year since they now have a 6 points lead over Toronto.

I was at the game last night. The atmosphere was amazing in the last 20 minutes! Can't wait for the playoffs!

^^^ I had my tv sound hooked up to my cranked stereo and got goosebumps when Waston scored! That was the loudest BC Place ever was for a soccer game I swear!

I wouldn't be surprised! As soon as the corner was awarded, Ousted got the crowd going, everyone got to their feet and started to make a lot of noise. 20 seconds later Waston put the ball in the net and the decibel levels skyrocketed. It was a pretty good example of home field advantage actually.

My oldest son (9) was asked today who his favourite professional athlete is... he said Ousted. This is good

Gotta make a game next year! Will watch tomorrow.

Playoffs start tonight: Vancouver in Dallas. We've never won in Dallas in 4 years but history means nothing!

If we win then we will battle a home at home with our next door neighbours Seattle! EPIC!!
