They will be tough to play against, but I firmly believe that experience in big games is a huge advantage, no matter the opponent. I am not sure the Whitecaps Prospects have the experience to pull it off. But they will be tough. And as the PCSL team, they won't be seeded so they could end up anywhere in the draw. Could be a first round match up for our League winner. Gotta love soccer in this province.
On a side note, I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that we all sat here and bitched that the Whitecaps were allowed into Provincials but we're all lining up to play them in exhibitions. That benefits them more than it does us. If we boycotted the Prospects they wouldn't get a single solid game in before Provincials. Our coach wants to play them to, so I lump myself into the hippocrit category.
It's petty, I know. But I am sick and tired of them getting what they want all the time, with no regard for the rest of the soccer community. It should be noted that since the Whitecaps annointed themselves the saviours of women's soccer in Canada, the national team has continued to drop in performance year over year. The U20's recently failed to qualify for the U20 World Cup. I would point out that Canada finished second on the first world cup, with a roster comprised entirely of players who were developed by the grassroots club system. Hey, but they're the experts, what do we know?
