A bit premature to say given the thread isn't about the Men's national team but Vancouver hosting matches?

An R16 Colombia-Switzerland match is arguably the biggest draw BC place will host. Bigger than the group stage Canada games. Yeah, in another universe it could have been Portugal-Canada but this is what we ended up with. I'll be very curious to see if the Colombians show up and put on the biggest soccer party Vancouver has seen.

Team Colombia arriving Downtown Vancouver yesterday evening...Go! Colombia Go!

Was rooting for Colombia today. But it's all over now. Of the teams left, it doesn't seem to me anyway, that they will bring out the crowds the way Mexico, Colombia or Canada was doing. Hopefully the buzz keeps going till the end but the games are going to be much be sparse now.

Depends on how well Argentina does, methinks; Messi has enough fans (and haters) to pack every fanzone.

ah yes, Argentina could be good.

There was an interview with Mo Salah of Eqypt and he was asked how he liked Vancouver and he said maybe he will live here one day. Is he a possible White Caps signee?
