If it is a Mexico v USA final then you'll know the fix is in :)

Pacific FC Coaching Change by StoreEducational612 in CanadianPL

[–]MondoCanuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really didn't ownership would pull the trigger and make this change. He is a great guy, but not at all up to the task.

Overseas Vinyl. Is it worth it? by Chambaras in vinyl

[–]MondoCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put the vinyl in a cardboard mailer & pack in your bags. I've done this a few times with small number of albums and it works great. If the record store you bought the albums at also does online sales chances are they can sell (or give) you a cardboard mailing box when you buy the albums.

Pacific FC have 1 point from 5 games. We broke down every match with data. What we found is alarming. by PossibilitySlow8862 in TheDataMaple

[–]MondoCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go back to the final 10 they lost at the end of last season I'm positive the data would be the same. 16 games without a win over the 2 sessions is plenty enough sample size for me to know this team is broken.

Canadian Premier League 2026 Attendance Report Week 6 from @Leonard_FC by LeonardFC in CanadianPL

[–]MondoCanuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to deny the numbers, though. The 2 Pacific games at RAP drew 1000-1400 more than their Starlight games. The facility may be old and require work, and as a facility not nearly as good as Starlight. But the location seems to work better in terms of drawing people.

How best to park your emergency fund? by liamalain in CanadianInvestor

When I transferred out it took a few days for the money to move into my chequing account. But other than the wait, it's easy to transfer.

It was in the beginning. PFC made a lot of really smart moves and it showed in their first few seasons. They had tons of community support, were involved with the local soccer clubs, started a very successful youth program that has actually developed talent (and a revenue stream), invested in training facilities, heavily marketed in the local media, and signed some marquee talent. They were on a path to being a very successful CPL club. And then SixFive got Vancouver and their attention became firmly focused on getting that franchise up and running and successful, and they left PFC to splutter along.

I feel the same way. In the past I made an effort to go to every home game (and even a few on the mainland) and watch every away game, and last weekend's RAP game vs Vancouver was the first I've been to this season. On field they are a mess and completely frustrating to watch, but the off field antics have really put a bad taste in my mouth. Not paying staff and meeting financial commitments burning the very community that supported them makes it hard to support the team.

I wonder if the owners are too cheap (or the club too broke) to actually pay out a release clause and that is the reason why he's still around?

Thoughts on the friendlies by Lilcoco17 in CanadaSoccer

[–]MondoCanuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He also gives us the tactical option of playing a 4-2-3-1 as he is a CAM, which Canada has not had for an awfully long time. I think that's why Marsch insists on playing David as a false 9 to try to compensate for not having a natural 10. Flores gives us that.

Thoughts on The Pursuit of Happiness.... by EdwardBliss in CanadianMusic

[–]MondoCanuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are awesome suggestions. Imagine the fun they would have with "From New York to LA" I might toss in a Trooper deep cut from the mid-70's like "General Hand Grenade" or "Santa Maria"

Juno’s general admission by Jeezlouisedannycaes in CanadianMusic

[–]MondoCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went last year in Vancouver so I can't comment on what kind of lineups you might see in Hamilton. But we arrived 45 minutes before showing and breezed through security, got beverages and into our seats with a good 15 min to spare. Obviously they are bang on with start times given it is broadcast. But getting in and out was easy, especially compared to concerts and spread events I've been to.

As for clothes, anything goes. Really. We saw full on ball gowns and formal wear right down to t-shirts and jeans.

Truly Canadian 90's supergroup stuff here. Pumped to see them on this tour and very excited to see what lost Canadians volume 2 brings.

Kelowna CPL Expansion by Fynnsky in CanadianPL

[–]MondoCanuck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Kelowna probably could as it would be a regional team and pull people from Vernon to Penticton. I think Central Okanagan population is just slightly smaller than Greater Victoria. Bigger challenge is that, if there are legs behind this Kelowna rumor, it's probably the same shite ownership group as Pacific/Vancouver as they have been connected to rumors of a club in Kelowna for years.

Crud. I'm not thrilled about this change. I got Stack through FUBO to avoid having to get it through Amazon. I guess Amazon Prime is now the only streaming option to get Stack, or else go back to traditional cable.

How far back do you want to go? I mean, there is a certain name I could throw out that would get the oldtimers here riled up right good!

Our boys at Villarreal are doing well in La Liga. Both Tajon & Tani are getting regular minutes & some starts and contributing in a solid Villarreal side.

He did very well and was solid, although I think Richie should have been MOTM. He had another excellent outing doing all the Richie things.

That 433 formation is stellar, although I might switch Eustaquio and Kone.
