The latest #ViewFrom #VWFC newsletter just dropped! @whitecapsfc.com dominated an equally-manned @fcdallas.bsky.social this weekend, and hopefully continue that dominance down in Frisco. And where have all the Whitecaps jerseys gone? 🤔

The exact language on why a yellow, “the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.), the offending player must be sent off.” #VWFC #DOGSO

Chris Golden @lyteforce.ca · 11d

Because a PK was awarded, so long as the last defender makes a challenge to the ball it’s only a caution.

The latest #ViewFrom #VWFC newsletter just dropped! I'm still feeling a slight buzz from the Müller goal at the death, which says something when the newsletter normally goes out days ago. 😆

As someone who used to write for the MLS website, it's appalling that with all the talented journalists around that the League are using AI generated match reports.

Support local, independent media.

This sucks. A lot.

I know from my own experience doing it— it is NOT expensive to pay humans to do this. I got invaluable development working there. As did countless others.

But hey look at that, here’s a feedback form in case you also think it sucks www.mlssoccer.com/feedback/rec...

Best part of watching that Müller winner is watching it with my father-in-law. He’s been a big supporter of @from231.ca & is an avid fan of the beautiful game. The vibes are pretty strong here right now. #VWFC

If you follow Canada Soccer at all, I encourage you to read this piece from Jasmine Mander. #CanMNT #CanWNT #CanXNT www.theplayerstribune.com/jasmine-mand...

What Actually Happened During the Canada Drone Scandal | By Jasmine Mander

I’m sorry for what happened. To the players, whose Olympic experience was sidetracked by this story. To the fans, who questioned their faith in the team.

Thanks Chris. That is a great podcast on sports parents and something all of the youth clubs should share with their parent population.

Ralph Priso. Kid gets himself another start at CB. Guess to give him the minutes to cover for an eventually absent Laborda when he gets his inevitable yellow card tonight.
