As I understand it there will be a Europa league type setup. So probably the top 2 from each group in one Knockout style tournament, and the bottom two from each group in another Knockout tournament.
In the spirit of @Canucks4Ever , these are the Div 2 Covid Cup opening weekend completely baseless predictions.
Group A
GFC vs Westside Juniors
- Gonna take GFC on this one. But right off the bat we get an introduction to the question, "what did COVID do to teams with a lot of Irish fellas?"...
Part of what makes this really stupid is the stakes - especially in Div 2. Like what would you win? If you make the final of the Div 2 Cup, you earn a spot in provincials.
Metropolitan and Shaheen have already done that with their Div 2 19/20 league positions.
Also, the Provincials are...
VMSL is back up and rolling! (Whether or not that's a good idea...) Let's go!
First games being September 25, 26, 27. after teams voting to postpone the recommended start date of next weekend by one week. Apparently there was also an 80% to 20% vote for the league continuing this year in any...
You actually can. The City of Vancouver Parks is allowing the booking of field permits again -- I think this is partly so organizations such as Urban Rec, or others that have held premium field times for years and years, are still on the hook to pay for them and the city can collect money...
Have heard a couple murmurs that both Gastown and Rino's have been contacted by the league with respect to playing the relegation playoff game sometime in the coming weeks. Any info on this @dezza ?
HeyZeus! - what a time to take a vacation from the prediction game.
Div 2 exploding in controversy, blow outs, and results that are a little more reflective of the dog days, pre-holidays.
Catching up on the correspondence, @nobcheesefinger asked why the omission of Legion and Strathcona some...
Worth noting that Billy Lane is their top goal scorer on the year, by far, with 8 goals. With respect to how this works? Good question. I can't really think of any sort of evidence you'd be able to muster up aside from the ref identifying a head shot. Not sure if anyone from Legion is on the...
Aite, a sufficient # of beers and a coin in hand, it's time to do these weeks predictions in rapid fire.
2A begins to spread out a little bit for the first time this year, and with Metropolitan lining up against Juniors at home this week, the other teams will be tasked with keeping the gap to...
Definitely agree with the fact that applying logic to Div 2 is a waste of time haha
Lots on the wtf list, including in 2A -> Rangers knocking of Hrvat in a big surprise, and Snipers over Meraloma, albeit with some dubious sounding officiating. In 2B, Sarajevo gets passed Bingers 3 - 1 bumping...
Oops. The thought of driving out to Coquitlam on a Friday night sucks more than a Dyson vacuum so I skipped it. After the Lobos kids get their homework done they will make due against Shaheen - 3-2 LOBOS
