FIFA Regulations on the status of the players:
1 An amateur is a player who pursues sport just for fun or as a hobby, without any material gain, and...
Heard some rumours that the registration for the next season will start soon but it is questionable when and if the next season will start.
Season 2019/20 is still not officially wrapped up yet. It does not look that Provincial Health Authorities will allow any games to be played any time soon...
I heard that two Serbia's players ended up in a hospital during a game on Sunday (a broken leg and a broken collar bone). All that happened during only 39 minutes of play. After 2nd injury the game was abandoned and remaining minutes were played last night (according to VMSL Meraloma won on...
To be fair, the ref whistled BEFORE the ball was headed into the net (not after) – everyone could hear a whistle when the ball was in the air. In my opinion, that cannot be called disallowed goal because the play was dead before the ball was headed.
I assume the ref applied this rule:
An...
Do we actually know what exactly happen? Did he play against 13th Legion (when he was supposed to sit due to suspension) under his own name or he impersonated another player? That makes a huge difference.
The former would logically mean that one-game suspension was served (Stratchona was...
While Metropolitan is running away in Pool A (6 points cushion separates them from the 2nd place Hrvat and 8 points from 3rd place Shaheen and 4th place Snipers who have a game in hand so they could jump to #2) it seems that Pool B has 6 teams (GFC, Strathcona, Harps, Serbia, Binger’s, and...
Canucks4ever,
“Did the Sierra guy follow through and milk it? Or did the Serbia man leave his foot in cynically? Who knows...”
Sierra’s “linesman” was making numerous wrong calls which really agitated Serbia’s players who were already upset by wrong offside call by Ruben .At some point...
I watched that game on Sunday and that was definitely one of the worst officiated games that I watched in years. Too many mistakes by Ruben which completely influenced and ruined the game. The penalty was a correct one though.
Getting very, very interesting at the top (especially the battle for the 2nd place that leads to Premier league).
Couple of wins (or losses) and you could be anywhere between the 2nd and 10th place.
The same applies to Sarajevo and Shaheen. A few wins and they could catch one of the teams...
Watched 75 min Guildford - Metro 1:1 when I left. Guildford tied tkanks to linesman (the ball did not go over the line), unbelievable that the head ref accepted linesman's call because he could clearly see that the ball could not go over the line.
With the exception of New York I had a chance (last two weekends) to see last 8 in both conferences. By far, really by far, Whitecaps were the worst of the bunch and they simply did not deserve to go the conference finals. A team that cannot score in 180 minutes (when it really matters) can not...
“Listen, at the end of the day, it’s about three points. Do want a full stadium? Absolutely. Do we want the fans to go home happy? Absolutely. Our primary goal is three points.”
CSA neglected Vancouver for 11 years so why Montagliani seems to be a bit disappointed with "only" 15,000 tickets...
I watched that story recently on a local news and could not believe my eyes. I cannot understand what some people think who they are, what they are doing and how their personal views and agendas are actually affecting other people.
I am also not a fan of a farmed salmon, etc. etc. but to try to...
Shaheen usually gets a few players back (after the college season is over) so they could turn a completely new page if it happens and move out of relegation zone.
Not that teams with 11 points are safe but the bottom 5 of the standings looks like this:
This coming week:
If Metropolitan and...
"Restricting the number of seats creates a sense of urgency to buy tickets. Like with me. I now want to go, and think I should get cracking before all the tickets are gone. That's smart marketing."
We agree to disagree about that. There are people (like me) who will never buy into that...
Absolutely agree with you re Manneh (pardon, Kekuta). Yes, he deserves to have a longer leash (compared to Mattocks and Hurtado who is somewhere in Norway at this time) because he is the youngest in that group of badly miscalculated "speed only" forwards who were drafted by Whitecaps...
How did at least 2 or 3 students manage to leave the game with the knocks if the referee blew his whistle every time any two opposing players came within orbit of each other and was consistent with the soft calls from start to finish? Strange.
"The 10 countries from South America will be joined by the U.S. and Mexico, as well as four more teams from North America, determined in a qualifying round."
Any word on how that qualifying round would be organized? Can Canada pass by Costa Rica, Jamaica, T&T, Panama, Haiti, Guatemala, A&B...
