As someone who used to write for the MLS website, it's appalling that with all the talented journalists around that the League are using AI generated match reports.

Support local, independent media.

This sucks. A lot.

I know from my own experience doing it— it is NOT expensive to pay humans to do this. I got invaluable development working there. As did countless others.

But hey look at that, here’s a feedback form in case you also think it sucks www.mlssoccer.com/feedback/rec...

Best part of watching that Müller winner is watching it with my father-in-law. He’s been a big supporter of @from231.ca & is an avid fan of the beautiful game. The vibes are pretty strong here right now. #VWFC

If you follow Canada Soccer at all, I encourage you to read this piece from Jasmine Mander. #CanMNT #CanWNT #CanXNT www.theplayerstribune.com/jasmine-mand...

What Actually Happened During the Canada Drone Scandal | By Jasmine Mander

I’m sorry for what happened. To the players, whose Olympic experience was sidetracked by this story. To the fans, who questioned their faith in the team.

Thanks Chris. That is a great podcast on sports parents and something all of the youth clubs should share with their parent population.

This afternoon’s #VWFC view is a bit smoky.

The pitch at BC Place stadium before kickoff between the Whitecaps FC and San Jose Earthquakes.

Ralph Priso. Kid gets himself another start at CB. Guess to give him the minutes to cover for an eventually absent Laborda when he gets his inevitable yellow card tonight.

We’re minutes from kickoff. How do the @whitecapsfc.com fare tonight? #VWFC

The latest #ViewFrom #VWFC newsletter just dropped (albeit a day late... again)! The soccer gods continue to challenge the @whitecapsfc.com with injuries, the bench has depth for days, and the newsletter has a vision (kinda).

Slightly higher view from 231 looked really bad. Stood at the tunnel for a few minutes until they could get bigger medical staff to help him down. Only + I can think of is that they didn’t use the cart

Chris from 231 @from231.ca · 28d

We are definitely hard on him…

Chris from 231 @from231.ca · 28d

How many of y’all are at BC Place tonight? Unfortunately midweek matches are nearly impossible for me to attend, so my #ViewFrom is from the comfort of home.

Better food, cheaper beer too. #VWFC
