Reports that CSB is yanking the rights to Canada Soccer broadcasts from OneSoccer. Could mean that TSN/others will be picking it up. Could mean back to the dark ages of Canada Soccer broadcast coverage. Presumably this has impacts for CanPL as that is CSB's baby. Given the business this...

So Provincial Cup is back - Draw April 3. Qualified teams: VMSL BB5 (seeded) Coastal Metro Ford Inter Rovers Hurricanes FVSL Tigers (seeded) Abbotsford Langley Faly VISL Lakehill (seeded) Nanaimo Vic West In the hunt: VMSL (1) Croatia West Van Thanks to VUFC (aka UBC) opting out Croatia...

After our loss to the US we are now 15 FIFA points behind El Salvador and, therefore, out of the Hex as it stands. We will have the two remaining FIFA windows in March and June to try and make up those points, but it will be difficult with points in friendlies not worth as much as points in an...

Not the U15s but I didn't feel like starting a new thread. Just curious if anyone caught any of the U17 World Cup before we were eliminated after 3 straight losses. In all of the general good feeling about the Senior Men's National Team, it might be easy enough to gloss over this tournament...

ICYMI: New qualifying format announced today by the powers that be in CONCACAF. https://www.concacaf.com/en/world-cup-qualifying-men/article/concacaf-announces-format-for-the-2022-fifa-world-cup-confederation-qualifiers So the top six CONCACAF teams based on FIFA World Ranking as of June 2020...

As always, there is a host of new teams participating in the U21 Cup. That being said, perennial contenders and defending champions West Van FC are back in the competition this season and are one of the seeded teams who have a bye in the first round. The kids get largely ignored during the...

Draw goes tonight live on Facebook. Live stream starts at 7pm...Men's A I believe will be last draw so judge the timing accordingly.

Draw was today. Link here to BC Soccer's incredibly difficult to navigate website... https://bcsoccer.net/adult-provincial-cup Abbotsford United B vs. Bye Hellas FC vs. BMSA League Designate Impero Calcio vs. Bye Shaheen FC A vs. Mission SC A AC Richmond vs. Bye Langley Utd Dynamo vs...

And so Cup season is upon us once more. After posting what I consider to be a decent record of 37 out of 51 in last season's predictions, I will endeavour to improve on that mark this time around. That being said, these particular prediction are even more baseless than my usual offerings given...

Quick observations on Div. 3: Not sure why 3A has 12 teams AND a bye; 3B 11 and a bye and 3C 10 and no bye. Presumably "West Hounds FC" was a last minute addition and will be moved to 3C to make it 11 teams per group? They would have the defacto "bye" in that pool this week? 3A looks to be...

Was tipped off to a friendly between the new look CCB and Prov Cup Finalists Langley at Newton last night and that just happened to sync up nicely with a golf game I had yesterday afternoon out that way. I stopped by on my way home and watched for an hour; score was 2-1 CCB at that time but...

Three weeks from kickoff and the groups are set. This season a seeded draw was used to determine the pools to avoid any teams that may have been trying to manipulate their final standing during the previous season to be in an allegedly "more favourable" group for the following year. On first...

Registration closed last week I believe so the teams have been posted for the upcoming season: https://vmslsoccer.com/webapps/spappz_live/team_pages (make sure the year at the top of the page is selected as 2018-19) A few questions, the biggest being does anybody know what is going on with...

While there is no real interest, given these millennials don't take their football seriously enough these days and certainly not seriously enough to post about it online, perhaps I should pass on these predictions. Still, I like to be inclusive and with only 12 teams from three leagues, this...

Found this lurking on the Excellent Site: Fantastic draw for Croatia who look to have the easiest path to the semis of the four seeds. Assuming they don't trip up against Richmond/Campo it will be a Division 1 team in the quarters and, likely, the renewing of hostilities against the former...

I'll have to disagree with @lego3 on this one as I would say the bottom half looks the tougher of the two, particularly the bottom quarter. 13th Legion will have to get past likely both of Shaheen and Bombastic to reach the semis where Greencaps will almost certainly be waiting. The Div 2 B...

A new season is upon us so that must mean it’s time for... Completely Baseless Predictions: Completely Baseless SEASON PREVIEW In an effort to continue to broaden the interest and discussion regarding top level amateur soccer I will be trying to add more FVSL content this season. I won’t...

Sooooo that looks to be a firm NO on Nationals for Aldy... http://www.canadasoccer.com/schedule-results-s15521 Format changed to a 10 team tourney with 2 groups of 5 it would seem on the Men's side. First plays first from pool A and pool B for the title (second vs. second and so on and so...

Ok this is the cup that actually nobody cares about... Not sure if I'll be able to keep up as, if I'm tight for time in a given week, this will be the first predictions to go. That being said, I'll try to give the kids their due. Standard Disclaimer: For those not familiar with my column, I...
