From what history tells us, the tournament favorites are teams from the Richmond League, or a team from a town outside of Greater Vancouver and the Island. In Group A the Richmond Dragons FC should advance, in Group C the Cordova Bay Bobcats will not advance, and Group D is definitely the group of death with all four teams very capable of winning this tournament. Group B will be interesting with NDFC getting upset in the
FVSL cup final by the ND Titans in PK's, and the underdog NK Hrvat beating Signmaster FC in the
VMSL cup final also in PK's. This should make for some great rematches and games.
It looks like all of the fields the teams will be playing on are turf. This will cause a lot more injuries and scrapped up and sore knees by the end of this tournament. I don't know why they aren't using grass, the weather should be fine, I'll take turf any day over grass in the winter but sure as hell not in the summer with a possible 5 games in 3 days.
Does anyone know anything about Burnaby Inter and Old Settler Pub, like what league they play in or if they're any good?
