...and after these predictions, Mainland dropped 3 in a row. Current leaders are Met and Alemania, both on 22 points, with Royal City a game behind. Our new lads are sitting roughly mid-table, and may be able to challenge for this with a bit of luck at this point, but that would be a pleasant...
Some random thoughts...
Watched this one from the far side of the south end from the supporters' seats. VFC's keeper made some very bad 1st half decisions with the ball in between his ankles and got caught. Looks like he was definitely also told to stay at home by staff in the 2nd half, as he...
Metro won't be around for too much longer either - it's being phased out a year at a time. Hard to believe (or maybe not), but the talent pool isn't deep enough to support 13 SPL clubs, Metro, and all the academies. So the middle gets dropped out, Div. 1 youth ball gets (maybe) a bit stronger...
Squamish tournament some decades ago...
Trece (from one field to the next): "hey Hollywood, you've got a hair out of place."
On the next field over... Hollywood stops his game, looks over and yells back "fcuk off, Trece."
Much laughter ensued...
RIP, Mike. You've left the centre circle...
VAFC Dynamo vs. NVFC Storm (feat. Catorce Verde vs. Bonefish Jr.). Very tight game with lots of chances going begging for us. Bonefish Jr. played well in goal (young bastard!). 1-0 to the North Shore lads, managed by Bonefish Sr. - great to see him again, too.
Lads did the job today with a 3-2 win over Albania. Catching Met C for 2nd looks unfortunately a bit of a bridge too far as both teams have 5 games left and our lads would have to overcome a 12 point deficit to catch them. Mathematically possible, but dependent on a lot of outside help.
Not the same person, nor are they related.

Still nothing to see here Week 12 standings...
Slightly better showing by our lads over the last few weeks with closer games and a couple of decent wins against teams above them in the table. They've improved a bit but so have some of the other sides. Schedule this season is 21 games, but I...
Canada vs. Mexico - field-side video and photos taken at the game by one of my former youth players who's just starting out in the business. He's one of those press photogs you see who has a giant lens with a camera attached to it. Unfortunately because of the cold the battery for his video...
Dunno; one part of me wants to see some deserving little shite like Larin from El Salvador get his block knocked off; the other part says in most games I end up being like Borjan trying to keep mates out of scraps...
I'm of two minds about "Wheels." The enthusiasm is a plus, and he definitely...
Gurps, there actually was a time when the VMSL had at least 7 divisions (one section in each), but even way back then I don't remember anyone getting relegated (or promoted) mid-season.
