in hindsight I probably should have bought the tickets even with the mandatory 1 regular season game ticket purchase. Sounds like it was a real spectacle and one of those "you had to be there" moments in Vancouver sports history even though the stakes of the game were kinda meh.

Mind you I already saw an old washed up legend perform at BC Place 2 nights prior and I was all full up


/was great that Messi got boo'ed and no Vancouver player asked for his shirt post game lol

//that gate revenue last night was around 2.5 shmill Whitecaps get none of the concession revenue though oof

I think you're always worried about having a bad performance in front of a big crowd and let's be honest, the Whitecaps have made headlines for all the wrong reasons lately. The fact that they played some attractive football, scored two goals, and kept a clean sheet is just the tonic that the market needed.

Wow lol

Wow lol

true story ... im the inspiration for we got em's cause I used to always get him as a kid

now I get my wife ... I had her thinkin Demkos name was Patrick Demko for about 2 years ... the other night I convinced her Connor McDavids dads full name was Mick David McDavid ... for some reason she got really pissed at me for that one

In the second leg, Messi is gonna pull off a Michael-Jordan-after-Darrick-Martin-chirped-him performance to provide another all time Vancouver sports moment lol

Messi chirps Vancouver Whitecaps fans after they hilariously trolled him | Sports

Vancouver Whitecaps fans trolled Lionel Messi after a massive 2-0 result at BC Place, and he was talking back.

Very impressive, but it will be very different at this level. Spending to field a competitive roster will be much higher and hard to see them doing that.

Especially when Ryan Reynolds will be spending his cash buying the Whitecaps

Looking forward to them throttling Saints in the Championship next season

Nice to see Spurs just rolling over for Liverpool to gift them the title.

They had a great start to the game, but the last 75 minutes or so eh not so much.
