Hey @big gk if Bingers had held on to beat Westside, do you think it would have had the same earth shattering affect as Campo beating Metro Ford?
When you guys beat Croatia last season, can you discuss how you felt when the soccer world literally shifted and has never been the same? Did you guys reach out to Sutton Utd. to help them manage how their world was about to change after they beat Leeds in the FA cup fourth round?

Seriously.... what we can do make you aware and acknowledge that soccer in Canada both at the adult and youth level keeps sinking with respect to the world? What we can do to make you take your head out of sand?
I am not all negative criticism. For example, LTPD of the Canadian Soccer Association is a step on the right direction.

Right on to shite that's actually relevant: Baseless Predictions for the Imperial Cup Quarter-Finals!
Round of 16: 7/8
Overall: 11/14
Metro Ford v Richmond
Yes that was a speed wobble by Metro Ford last round, needing extra time to get past a Div. 1 opponent. Historians will note, however, that this occurred last season as well and, in the end, had no impact on Coquitlam ultimately lifting the trophy. The mid-week preview to this one was called off when Hibs arrived to find the field in the Tri-Cities snow covered, so both teams will be well rested coming into this one. It was a close one out below sea level back in the fall, with the league leaders edging it by a narrow 1-0 scoreline. Richmond have been full value for their lofty position in the table as they round out the top five, with a slight cushion over the rest of the pack. Hibs are the underdogs with nothing to lose and will be eager to prove that they can hang with the top dogs as we head towards Provincials. There's no betting against Coquitlam though, their reputation has been established for a reason. Richmond to give it their all; Metro Ford to progress.
Pegasus v South Delta
Not much to analyse in this one. South Delta are a class group and will certainly relish the chance to get a taste of Premier, but Peg are looking straight towards another showdown with Coquitlam in the final in their eyes. Especially once you add some colour to the upset they had in midweek (playing with 10 men for 80 minutes), you have to think the Surrey boys will not be in any sort of welcoming mood! Look for Peg to be comfortable in this one.
West Van v Westside
Round three in this match up and it's been decidedly West Van in this one; aggregate 6-0. West Van, too, are the more well rested side, having beaten Inter on Monday night, while Westside had a Wednesday fixture. The former Trollers are also back in form, having won three straight after back to back losses mid-snowstorms cause them to fall out of the top four. Westside will be game of course, but with heavy legs from Wednesday plus, presumably, their injury list mounting after that Columbus game, the signs don't look great for them. Looking at West Van to make it three of the top four in the Semi's.
Rovers Tigers v Inter
Match of the Round here as the recently revitalised Inter travel to Surrey. Inter had recaptured some form, winning two cup rounds, both against Premier opponents, before losing in the league on Monday. Again it points to Inter getting up for big games in their minds, so the Cup would stand out as a priority. Rovers, you have to think, are targeting the cup as well; presumably having rested players in their mid-week loss to then last placed North Delta. It sets up as a cracker out at NAP. Rovers absolutely mauled Inter on opening day with Nick Soolsma potting all four in a 4-0 walk in the park, but their second meeting was a much closer one. Rovers made off with the points again at Empire, but only eeked it out 3-2. Not only is this my MOTR but it's also my Upset Special! Rovers want a third crack at Metro Ford in the semis to avenge a pair of losses, but Inter want the exact same against them in this round. Also, a finals appearance would be the easiest way to secure a Provincial berth, given they are one of the teams embroiled in the quagmire that is the battle for Provincial berths 6 and 7, should the top four make the Imperial Cup semis. This is a big one for the Italians and they love big games, I smell an upset (or another 4-0 for Tigers, but fcuk it upsets are better stories!).

Soooooo when are you going to stop posting then?
Also talked to @whistle blower and he confirmed there was a coin toss and to this day he's never not done a coin toss. I tend to take his word over your whiny ass anyday cnut.

oh well. he should not be talking about it. all players have confirmed that there was no coin toss. Except one who is away overseas. Referees job is to referee and not coming and posting or talking about games.

David Haye a knockout
Conner Mc Gregor is a wanker
He will look so stupid if he gets to box mayweather

He has the power to knock him out, but the chances of him getting to touch him are so slim, regardless of his amateur boxing history. However for the money he'll get I doubt he cares
Inter showed a lot of class and it was a great battle sad it had to be decided in PK's. No mid week games thank God and we are looking forward to this week's clash with MF we will have a full squad. It will be fun to watch on the sidelines.
