This is Willoughby Stadium (official capacity 6,560) at Langley Events Centre, home of Vancouver FC (founded 2022).

On Wednesday they'll welcome a Cruz Azul squad dotted with internationals, valued @ ~$85.3 million by Transfermarkt, to their prized patch of synthetic turf.

Long live ConcaChampions

With Alex Roldan extending his contract in Seattle, it feels like a good time to bump my attempt from a couple months ago to explain what makes him so important to the Sounders www.sounderatheart.com/2025/11/in-p...
In praise of Alex Roldan, the overlooked key to Sounders’ success

This is all to restore balance in the rafters of Lumen Field… Winning #LeaguesCup really set the expectation.

There are a few sports cities in the US, like Seattle, that always have fantastic support.

Congrats @Seahawks 💚 💙 #SuperBowlLX

Aurora Round 2
Some iPhone shots of the aurora right now from right in town in Fairbanks. Strong enough to see from downtown near Walmart! Best imaged with a phone or camera, but the colors are naked-eye visible…

How Africa boycotted the 1966 World Cup
The BBC's Piers Edwards explains the little-known story behind the African boycott to the 1966 World Cup, the only World Cup in history to have been snubbed by an entire continent.

Not sure I have ever seen this color of aurora before - literally pure blue and indigo. This is happening now over central Canada in Rabbit Lake, SK.

The camera is accessible and linked on my webcam list: go.theauroraguy.com/webcams
