Strikers vs Powell River...Depends on who's the home team. If Powell River set up another nooner then that's definitely an advantage and why not? Leaning towards @Arch and the strikers though...gotta support old pals ya know! ;)

Lupi vs Impero...VMSL vs BMSL champs collide! Advantage Lupi who are in rich goal scoring form.

Cheers Machel. Sounds like the boys from PR have a decent squad. Should set up for a good quarter final. Maybe I can bring back some youth from my Primo days. Ha

The consistency continued through a third round of fixtures, a "perfect" 50% again. Looks like I am on pace to get one of my two Semi Final predictions correct; the question is, of course, which one?

Semi Finals:

Vancouver Strikers (VMSL) v Powell River (VISL)
After a pair of cushy home games, it is now Powell River's turn to make the long journey, this time to the Mainland. The Island champions hardly needed to get out of first gear to sail past the final FVSL participant, Abbotsford Red Devils, dispatching them 4-0. They will now face the lowest ranked VMSL side to qualify for the competition, Vancouver Strikers. Not sure you would have picked the Strikers as one of the two teams to be representing the VMSL in the semi finals, but they have taken on all comers. Saanich did not bother to show up for their first round meeting but then the Vancouver boys rolled to the Valley and beat the FVSL's league and cup double winners, Abbotsford 2-1. They followed that up with a win over the Richmond league champions in West Coast FC, 2-1 again, last weekend. After knocking out a pair of champions, Strikers are now the only non-league winning team left in the competition. The VMSL and BMSL winners are on the other side of the bracket and, of course, they host VISL winners Powell River this week. Evidently Strikers are not intimidated regardless of the team that they are playing and they proved that this season as they stand to be the only team to defeat VMSL winners Coquitlam Metro Ford to this point of the season. Powell River are tough customers though and stingy as well. They do not concede many goals, but that would seem to suit their Vancouver host just fine as it appears tight scorelines are kind of there thing. Watch out for another 2-1 in this one, Strikers to advance.

Coquitlam Metro Ford Lupi (VMSL) v Impero Calcio (BMSL)
Easily the Match of the Round here as this sets up as an absolutely titanic clash. Both these teams won everything in their domestic leagues. Lupi the VMSL Division 2A title and the Div. 2 Cup; Impero the BMSL Division 1 crown along with both cup competitions: the Rudolph Cup and the League Cup. Each side lost just once this year and each team boast good goal scorers; CMF - Eric Dove (14), Dalibor Plavsic (10), Moreno Zanetti (7); Impero - Lucas Sweda (13), Bruno Teixeira (7), Salvatore Corrado (6). The classic case of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object as both these teams are certain that they will be lifting the trophy come next weekend. This match, in fact, could easily be a worthy final. Instead, however, it is only the penultimate step for one of these two side, while the other will have their season ended. Impero cam through a barnstormer of a match against Lupi's runners up, 13th Legion, in their opener, emerging 4-3 winners among all sorts of fireworks and sendings off for their Vancouver counterparts. Last week they, once more this season, beat their own league runners up, Sierra FC, this time for a 2-1 margin. Lupi made life difficult for themselves in their opener when they spotted a plucky Mission side a 1-0 lead and then, after tying things up, spotted them a man advantage as well. Instead though, the Tri Cities crew were rampant, even with a the numerical inferiority, and ran out 6-2 winners. They looked to have a dodgy one last week against a very experienced All Blacks side from Richmond that had already beat the other VMSL Division 2 winner and cup runners up to Lupi, Vancouver Greencaps, who were also the defending holders of this Provincial Cup. All Blacks also proved their pedigree by winning a tough game on the Island, but they ended up being well off the pace against Coquitlam, losing 5-1. It would seem, however impossible, that CMF may have, in fact, found another gear for this cup competition. They are boasting 11 goals for to 3 against so far in the tournament and will once more get to set up shop on home turf. They are in form and that one tips the scales for me here. Impero are a top side, no doubt, but Lupi look to be quite literally next level at the moment.

2-1 Strikers over Powell River. Strikers took the lead 20 minutes in with a nice finish from a long kick out from keeper. VISLers tied it up 14 minutes later from the spot. First half was a cracker but action dipped considerably in second. looked like extra time beckoned when Strikers popped up to fire home the winner two minutes into stoppage time.

All VMSL final for the 3rd year running... Makes total sense that they took away a VMSL spot this year

Yeah, definitely added a nice atmosphere to the game. The Strikers bench even got in to it with a couple of them.
