Sorry for the history lecture spergout. :eng101:

I loved hearing it from a different perspective, so it's no big deal!!! I started playing soccer when I was a kid in 1989 in SE MI, where there was a decent size push for a local club and the youth soccer leagues were finally starting to form and become much more formal. Older people who here that I'm part of an SG for a local soccer club are like "WHO DA gently caress LIKES SOCCER?" Well, it's your kids who played soccer in their youth bud, pretty easy answer right there

If were lucky, it'll be an update on Vancouver/Saskatoon, or a CBA with PFACan.

But it'll probably be just another sponsorship or another piece of worthless memorabilia.

Maybe they'll be raising the pay so average players don't go to the USL to make more money.

Why retain talent when you can just rake in transfer fees lol.

Also the announcement was a new commissioner. All that buildup for nothing.

LOL true, but IIRC they've had a player leave the league for a team in USL-1 and having your players exit because they can get more secure pay in an American third-tier league doesn't really make the statement of intent you think it does.

It's the first I've heard of it, but I'm not surprised. Guess I gotta buy 500 more commemorative coins before they raise the cap.

League 1 Ontario Final is on: https://youtu.be/g8T6ec-AS8Q

Vaughan Azzurri are coming off their second straight undefeated season, while Oakville Blue Devils have nothing all that interesting going for them. Kyle Porter plays for them, which is a sort of familiar name if you're in this thread.

Winner will be the first repeat qualifier for the Canadian Championship from L1O! Next year is going to have promotion/relegation! Watch it!

Forge-Cavalry is 10 v 10 after Bekker kicked a guy in the face for a straight red, and Norman get sent off with a second yellow for pushing a guy off running right into him.

Apparently on Pittsburgh’s game tying goal in extra time, a Birmingham midfielder ran into the referee and sustained a head injury but play carried on. Fans on Twitter are big mad but I can’t find a replay.

apparently it was mini-soccer-ball night too, so of course the birmingham end was pelting the field with them during the shootout. looked like a dodgeball game when pittsburgh scored the winner.

Literally the best CPL game I've ever been to - absolutely hilarious throughout the whole game. Could not stop laughing at everything.

Saying that they're playing out of Langley makes me think the team is being run by the CIA.

CPL salary cap increase announced today. Assuming (probably incorrectly, sadly) that Edmonton is staying, the salary cap for the whole CPL will be just over 0.5 Insignes.

still half a million less than USL clubs pay out lol

Yeah the CPL is a "Level 1" league in name only. IIRC they had a starter leave for a USL-1 team either this season or ahead of last season, because even the USL also-rans could offer more money.

Yeah, calling it "technically the top level" in the OP is doing a lot of work, considering that, the cap, Edmonton barely keeping the lights on, and 8 Cavalry players either loving off to free agency or going back to MLS.

Well the whole Edmonton thing sucks because the Fath brothers were hoping to turn the academy into a quality enterprise and the team itself still wasn't the primary tenant in Clarke Stadium even though they were the only pro team playing there, which didn't help attendance at all.
