I just got back from “meet the coach” night with Vanni Sartini. It didn’t take long before he was singing a chorus of “Last Christmas” with the crowd… I think he’ll do well here.

Halifax is in for a treat 😄
Man, I love Vanni.
"Everybody knows the things I stand for, and how I think politically, so probably the United States is not the best place to go, in this moment." — Vanni listing factors in his decision to take on the Wanderers project; alzate i gomiti!

If Ottawa wins, they have the pleasure of facing MLS champions Inter Miami.
If Whitecaps win, they would have a Cascadia match up against Seattle.
Let's not speak of Vancouver FC or Forge FC advancing, because yeah.

Axel: "We will continue to build this roster the way we believe".
Was asked if Manuel Neuer could come in as the next "surprise".
He didn't say no! 😉

I’m confident this front office can keep the vibes solid even if the team makeup has to change. I think that’s our real advantage #VWFC
Axel Schuster says that the Whitecaps are in no danger of being in salary cap trouble next year.
They could keep the entire group together, but they won't. There will be changes to get better. Feels they need to bring new energy in.

Axel says there are so many reflections on the year but his headline thought is the unity of the club. From on the pitch to off it.
Spoke about being able to celebrate season as a group after Miami defeat. Damir Kreilach flew back from Europe to be with group.

Congrats to the Vancouver Whitecaps! They're supposed to be rivals, but their fans are so nice, and frankly they haven't historically been contenders. I know what a gut punch losing a final is. Double that for losing to The Villains. I hope they're proud & hopeful for what lies ahead.

Aw man. We played the better majority of the game.
Their 2nd and 3rd goal finishes were clutch.
The 2nd goal definitely burst our bubble. Far too lax with defending before the 2nd goal.
I think we were too nervous to start.

Hastings Racecourse abandons horse racing, so is a Whitecaps stadium next?
Patrick Johnston: All eyes are now on Hastings Park's future as a possible sports venue now that horse racing is done.
