    Good news for MLS and Canada! This puts Vancouver to have 2 rivals, Seattle and Toronto. I also like the fact that they might play indoor..just incase they go to the FIFA calendar...(yeah right).
    I'm thinking of moving NW now!

    It will be three once Portland's in! We hate those bastards just as much as the other two!

    And it's a shame they didn't use this NASL footage of Wee Willie Johnston sipping a fan's beer before setting up a goal with a corner kick....

    hilarious ... the presser's barely even over.

    to where exactly? not in the MLS:Clubs section, that's for sure, but perhaps out of candidate cities (like philadelphia). start a request thread in the customer service section.

    I just thought you kids would like to know that on MLSNet, Vancouver '11 is now at the bottom of the drop down clubs menu, right under Philadelphia. Congratulations again!

    Yes; congrats all around! If I wasn't sitting on the sofa, I'd be bouncing off the walls. :D I'm so happy, I'm thinking about moving to Miami and opening up a crow stand!
