HIGHLIGHTS: Pacific FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps (2021 Canadian Championship, Aug. 26, 2021)

[@natealvarez9979]

Damn I love the look of Pacifics stadium.

[@Matanumi]

I love their colors and I am a caps fan.

[@Jammoh]

What a crazy game! Incredible result for Pacific and the CPL.

[@noahbrown6970]

British football fan here (I say that cause I'm English, but support Celtic), and honestly this is amazing! I always like watching a sport develop and grow in an area, or watching a new team take root and grow a fanbase, so I've been keeping an eye on the CPL since it was first announced. I remember watching the video where they announced the first 7 teams and where they were gonna be based, and watching the highlights of the first ever game, seeing Forge become the inaugural champions, and then seeing them become the first-ever back-to-back CPL champs! And this tops all of that for me! Seeing a 3-year-old CPL team, which hasn't finished higher than 4th yet, beat an MLS team, that in its current form is 11 years old and altogether is 47, on home turf in a Canadian Championship match is honestly incredible, and an absolutely fantastic advertisement for the beautiful game in North America! Before this I was a bit of a fan of Valour FC in Winnipeg, mainly cause of William Akio's KZbin vlogs, but after this I'm gonna have to keep an eye on Pacific from now on! This was awesome! :)

[@ManOnMars5]

Honeslty Noah, Pacific FC is a great team and hasnte really had time to gel. This region has always had an amazing soccer following. Also if you ever are to travel, the pacific coast is a lot better then Winnipeg in terms of veraity of landscapes.

[@noahbrown6970]

@@ManOnMars5 I'll keep note of that. I do wanna go to Canada in the next 3-5 years, but ideally I wanna do Toronto. See if I can't do a kind of sports tour, see the Wolfpack (My rugby league team), the Arrows, the Maple Leafs, the Blue Jays, the Argonauts, and TFC while I'm there hahaha but BC does sound awesome!

What a match. The atmosphere in the stadium was unreal and you could tell that there was a lot of passion for the beautiful game. It felt like Pacific stepped up to the game in every way that one could hope for. Can't wait to see more from them

@RyyCube It's a splash of Brazilian football culture. I'm glad the atmosphere was good!

[@James-lv3do]

What a game! A huge day for the cpl

[@BCSoccerNews]

Watched this in the backseat during a road trip. Good performance from Pacific! Also I’m loving that the whitecaps have finally used a designated player wisely with Gauld, he’s done well so far.

[@maayanzilbershtein7146]

hi dean

[@ramonsolis8637]

I'm very happy to see the passion of the crowd. Hope Canada's soccer league becomes one of the best leagues in concacaf

[@johnferreira885]

That was like a FA Cup qualifier. That was awesome the supposably bigger team up against the home team smaller stadium but electrifying atmosphere 👌

[@JamesBond009]

I'm officially agreeing with that guy who's been complaining about the camera angle. Pacific needs to invest in a bucket truck or scissor lift.

[@sdot5389]

How about a scaffold? I’ll pitch in 5 bucks.

[@danielbromley849]

@james the problem is there is a road literally right behind the camera so it's an unfortunate problem they have with the prior city design.

[@bcolt9318]

There is a hydro pole with wires running directly overhead of where the camera is. They aren't allowed to be any higher for safety reasons until it is removed.

[@kentmartin9289]

I've heard it reported recently that the hydro pole that is causing the camera to have to be low to the ground, is coming out before next season. I haven't seen an official statement on that though. Hopefully it's true.

[@oggiggs]

I actually kinda liked it. Didn't expect much better from this league level

[@fdti6914]

Hilarious. Whitecaps lose to a team that invested less than a million dollars in their entire roster, including their coaches. It's so hard to show support for this team.

[@mitch3DG]

I mean, atleast the Canada cup doesn’t really mean much. They’re gaining MLS success of late. That’s what’s most important

[@elijahtchilembe-mpovie2715]

@@mitch3DG So not qualifying for continental competition is not important?

[@jpvuelma]

It's time for you guys to leave MLS and join the CPL

[@raulaguirre883]

This is so awesome guys. Been following Pacific this year and they have been a treat to watch. I hope a CPL team takes home the bacon.

[@joshua6207]

Forge has also beat top teams from Honduras,Panama, el Salvador that have been around for 60+ years. Cavalry beat vancouver 2 years ago I believe so this is very exciting for a 3 year old league

[@LeBasketballGuy]

I'd love to see the PFC / Cavalry winner take out TFC (if York doesn't do it). Unfortunately the CSA always loves TFC and they have 3 home ties if they run the table.

[@joshua6207]

@@LeBasketballGuy I dont think york will beat tfc but forge,pacific or cavalry has a chance and Montreal just beat them pretty bad.

[@TedGodwin]

I will always remember being there. What a night!

[@crispinapereira4594]

Buat apa karet

[@rig-a-deelio8465]

I say keep Whitecaps in MLS for as long as possible. Whitecaps vs Pacific created this a special meeting. Having the Canadian MLS teams join CPL will dilute that.

[@Bongaboi151]

But it's going to allow for some nice new derbies and make the Canadian Classique the showcase derby in the CPL similar to how Le Classique is Ligue 1 and El Clasico is La Liga.

[@RituroPGB]

One week later, I still get goosebumps watching these highlights. What a night.

[@RMC558]

Great game!!!!! CPL team is rocking!!!!!

[@TheStephenlarose]

Being from Regina I don't have a dog in this hunt but darn...if the rest of Victoria is as beautiful as this stadium I wish I could move there. Congrats Pacific FC!

[@APJTA]

Victoria is gorgeous. I haven't been in about fifteen years but it's an incredible city. There's nowhere like it anywhere else in Canada. And the weather isn't bad either.

[@colbykambeitz5120]

Victoria is the best city

[@infowarsdotcom1131]

This stadium is actually in Langford which is a more residential district seperate from Victoria. Kind of like Langley in comparison to Vancouver.

[@arsmaster]

Great day for football in BC. Also loving how prolific Gauld has become for Whitecaps.

[@jackbethell4134]

Atta boys!! Great win pacific fc 👏🏻

[@louka3891]

[@RyanTheWebGuy]

Oh my God, this is the greatest thing ever. Great job, Pacific!

[@strawdog336]

I try to go to a Caps game or two per season, but even before the pandemic they were a bit boring and there were few edge of the seat moments. Getting soundly beaten by a lower tier team reminds me they might not be worth a ticket yet. Good for the Tridents though, glad for those players making the most of their opportunity.

[@valpix7007]

MDS needs to be sacked yesterday.

[@trailblazing78]

@@valpix7007 How about today?

[@fabiomigotto]

CPL is not a lower tier. The players are taking a salary hit to pave the way for a solid Canadian premier league and that's the only difference. Hats off to them and we should be grateful. MLS teams have never had an easy time vs CPL teams since they started the league in 2019.

[@pictureofmyjunk2279]

Smartest penalty to concede at the end.

[@innocentgoitseone3715]

This is game is enjoyable than most mls games. Tempo, positional play, tactics, all checked

[@rossgilmour8189]

Dundee United fan here, checking out how Gauld is doing…but the star of the show was Vancouver’s right-back, laziest player I have ever seen. Guy was watching the game, not playing it

This is why there needs to be a promotion/relegation system in the mls

[@hatedsince04]

Gauld 🐐

[@bobbyb9712]

De Santos and brother fired. I wonder if the Whitecaps will go after coach Kah. Pacific put a fabulous effort on the field. Remember when he played for Whitecaps. Shoutout to Aparicio, the man's an energizer bunny and he can finish, excellent.

[@Bongaboi151]

If Pacific win the CPL final, Kah might be on the move then.

[@riobabic8960]

That’s a nice stadium !

We need a preseason trophy for this matchup, or at least have the Vancouver second team play in the CanPL so that there can be a true set of BC Derby matchups.

[@JamesBond009]

Upsets happen in the English FA cup as well all the time.

[@TheWoollyFrog]

They wouldn't make it in the CPL.

[@BCSoccerNews]

Naming rights are complicated. The chances of an MLS team coming to the CPL are low and the chances of a CPL team deciding to join the MLS is 0 because of wage complications, naming rights, and the already set paths the teams have taken

[@LeBasketballGuy]

Nope because if they were all in the same league, this cup would no longer mean anything.

[@TheWoollyFrog]

@@LeBasketballGuy Most countries don't and can't have teams playing in neighbouring countries. Canada and Wales are exceptions to the rule. A regular cup would still be interesting but for different reasons.

[@ji2409]

I really don't understand why the whitecaps weren't trying

[@TheWoollyFrog]

You can see their players just stand around and watch that last Pacific goal.

[@TheWoollyFrog]

@RyyCube Yeah, they were trying but they have these moments where they just give up on defending. It's a problem with all MLS teams in international competitions. It's like they're trained to allow the opposition's top $ attackers to get their highlight reel moments.

[@ji2409]

@RyyCube This was the first whitecaps game I have not watched this season mls or not so thank you for updating me! but, all the comments that i was seeing were saying that the whitecaps were destroyed and from the highlights it looked like they were not trying.
