FVSL Preseason Rumours 2016/17

[cascadesoccer]

I apologize on behalf of R-Tee guys. I have no doubt that he has been shaking from TTP withdrawls all summer and needed to say something without any thought before he exploded. VMSL had a great showing at provincials this year for sure. Dynamo wasnt there to witness it this time. #masters2017

Not so fast, the FVSL has a new initiative to award ice cream to each provincial cup team for a win or a nutmeg... its a progressive plan that only has positives. We're also bringing in Saudi Money as well as games will be played in the streets to further propel soccer into the next generation... or some such.

We have total control of all official Saudi
Funds Big sponsorship wow going to
VMSL

I never put any timeline on the emergence of fvsl dominance. I of course admit Vmsl is king for now and foreseeable future. But mere demographics would suggest sheer numbers in the fvsl region eventually surpassing the city proper.
I do commend people for their passion to play footy in the city. I mean 2000$ for a basement suite on kingsway and naniamo behind the gas station is a steep price to pay to count yourselves among the elite of men's beer league soccer (unless you have a million dollars to buy a crack shack in strathcona)
Sure lots of players in the Vmsl have come from "somewhere" in terms of soccer background but nobody is going "anywhere"
Berkamp you twerp

Plus the FVSL has more imaginative training methods.

Except, I think I said the exact same thing about 15 years ago on TTP. Things haven`t changed. Perhaps we are one day closer to seeing pigs fly.

Soooooo Aldergrove.

 

[knvb]

for those not paying attention... games that were once 6/7-0 in provincial cup play 10 years ago are now 1 goal games. a decent portion in overtime or penalties. It has changed.

 

[Dude]

But it still hasn`t changed. Until the FVSL wins the Provincials, it hasn`t changed the results. Inroads, sure, but this year the FVSL was skunked.

-Captain Obvious.

That's what happens when our athletes aren't funded and specially trained. VMSL = Russia/Saudi Arabia (winning cheats) FVSL= Canada (happy go lucky and everyone likes us)

 

[knvb]

I disagree, the level has changed....one way or the other. its just not changed over, granted. Working hard at it. I'm only pointing out the once giant gap (insert mom joke here) isn't as wide as it once was...

when you write

...well, IMO, they have.

 

[Dude]

...including you saying it`ll never change.

Closing the gap is nice (pun), but you won`t be able to claim equality until such day that the FVSL actually wins one.

Check that: wins one, then doesn`t fcuk off to the VMSL the very next year.

Well, I would say that the overall level is pretty balanced. With the top VMSL teams being a bit better. (DIV 2) But, as mentioned, when you're paying players to play in div 2, it's going to attract guys. So one can argue that fvsl is right on par because we have what we have and we don't 'buy' a prov cup winning team, we just 'pay' the price for doing so. See what I did there. Ahhh yes. I think that apart of the problem is guys like R-Tee still looks at his soccer as beer league. I'd call the bottom half of div 4C beer league. if you're playing for a provincial spot, it ain't beer league. If you look at it as a beer league, then go play beer league and quit dragging down this FVSL trophy bid

 

[cascadesoccer]

So what if you're well above a div 4 level but still want to play "beer league" should you sacrifice yourself for everyone else and go play div4, or just play where you want have fun?

 

[Sir M]

Not everyone likes KNVB...

My point/opinion is that if there are guys that play at a high level and still consider it beer league, then the mentality is just another obstacle in achieving higher goals. I understand it's just one yee-haw expressing his thoughts, but it still says something.

I'm sure Ronaldo has a saison when he feels like it

 

[LHE]

BC Tigers officially up on the FVSL site.

 

[Dude]

So where are they from? VMSL Div 1?

 

[Canucks4Ever]

So where are they from? VMSL Div 1?

Nope.

Dasmesh at one point had (maybe still does have under a different name??) a team in the lower leagues of the VMSL. I think they have an MWSL team for the ladies.

According to @dezza BC Tigers is a youth club.

 

[Dude]

Straight into Premier?

There must be more to the background to allow that? Like West Van, there was obviously some pedigree there....
