Default Re: Whitecaps World of Soccer

BTW, what is with the Whitecaps always "borrowing" the names of what others have done in the local soccer community?

Tony Waiters has his WorldofSoccer.com website and newsletter that he has been doing for ages (it would be hard to believe that the Whitecaps are unaware of this).

And of course, we have the Whitecaps Nations Cup fiasco from 2 years ago, I think it was 2 years ago.

If you are going to copy names for initiatives, can't you at least look beyond the local soccer community?
