Vancouver - Why not

Soccer? Pah! Thats not what we call it round here mate

As part of our ongoing cultural exchange, myself and a 8 strong army of Brits decended upon West Point Grey Community Centre for a good old fashioned game of football. Of course, from the 20 or so players about 15 were Brits, its what you expect, we did invent the game after all. Infact, if you include the swedish guy and a girl who was quite possibly spanish there were probably only 3 real life Canadians present. But in a departure from our usual ways we decided to mingle with the multinational crowd, before testing out our physical, long ball, Greham Taylor style of play. They all seemed to be good lads except for a few exceptions, i'm sure we'll enjoy the run around every week. Better still, my local "Darby's" give 2 for 1 pitchers of beer for sports teams, excellent.

I'll leave you with this message from the Iraqi Information Minister:

  • Aren't they already relegated? In their current state I doubt they could beat the Vancouver Whitecaps.
