    Absolutely. 
    There is a generation of golden age people who talk like the NASL era was the height of soccer here.   Not a chance.  These kids coming up are light years ahead of kids decades ago.  No comparison.

    Game commentary is not news. People do not want to go through pages of game commentary to get news. If a thread is clearly labelled game commentary then I think it is fine to post those updates and those interested can read them on that thread.

    Live updates for a match should be in a match thread imo. Though I notice that there are never match threads on here for anything but national team games..

    Friday April 26th -  Mosaic Pub - 7pm  431 Barton Street
     
    Pre Game - We will have access to the stadium an hour before it opens with some drink specials... ONLY FOR US.   You can't get into this without tickets in 111 or 112.  So if you got free tickets.... well.... too fucking bad.

    It is interesting.  The skill level I see among the young elite players - even in a small province like PEI - is off the charts compared to what I saw 10-15 years ago.  Kids are coming up through the ranks with ridiculous skills, and a desire to play attacking footy where they drive at (and past) defenders.  I may be naive and just not as aware of the phenoms who went through the system in years past, but I think our growing infrastructure, huge registration numbers and tendency to stream top players into more elite training and developmental pathways is going to pay off in the next decade or so (and from then on).  I know other countries have also continued to grow their programs but I can't help but think that we may have closed the gap quite a bit.  And with CPL coming online and offering hopefully another strong domestic pathway for talented young players, I think we will only continue to get better.

    If folks are looking for something to do the night before, feel free to swing by my bar!

    We're at 431 Barton Street East, and have 14 taps of (mostly) Ontario craft beer. If you're wearing CPL gear, you can get $5 pints of Helles Lager from Wellington.
    Not a craft beer fan? We have some classic cocktails & our Macrobrew of the Month as well!
    (It seems like the Barton Street Battalion may be doing an event this night as well; I've cleared it with them & Jamie before posting this)

    I will arrange sections for people at these games. 
    A proper section at a Mexico game is really important, it needs to be coordinated with security. 
     
    DO NOT go buying tickets until I have talked to Canada Soccer.

    Don't worry.
    The Gold Cup is not the same as the Azteca in Mexico City or the Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula.
    Those are the cases where there are certain sections you just CANNOT be in (especially if Canada wins).
     
    For the Gold Cup it's more of a slight precaution.
    It's also mainly because it's far more fun when there is a group of Canadians together instead of spread out across the whole stadium.

    I finally picked up my season ticket last night with the USL branded scarf.  I think I will wear it to every CPL game I go to this season to incite the locals.  Ha ha!

    The overwhelming majority of the time, no. 
    Also, I am not suggesting you need to be surrounded by security.   Mostly arranging things with security/stadium. For example, if there were a Cuba supporters section, we shouldn't be next to it.  I don't know where that might be.
    That said, if we had won that game in Mexico, even tied it, we would have needed the police in riot gear that surrounded us (well not us, the Ambassador)
    Individually people would be fine.  As a group it gets more complicated and more so with beer.
    This isn't meant to paint some negative picture of our region or be overly dramatic.
