Anybody on here been to an AFC #Toronto home match? Wondering if there is a match day store with better pricing for tees/kit than the website.

The first ever game of the inaugural W Canadian Championship happened today!

It was Halifax Tides vs. Ottawa Rapid, which are two #NSL teams.

Obviously, all NSL teams qualify. But there’s also two non-NSL teams who’ve qualified too: CS Mont-Royal Outremont of LS Pro QC, and Simcoe County Rovers FC of Ontario Premier League.

Here’s the highlights:

BOO!

Halifax Tides just got a goal from a Vancouver own-goal that was deflected from a corner kick. That hurts.

Vancouver Rise 0-1 Halifax Tides

#soccer #NSL

I enjoy watching the Vancouver Rise immensely.

First off, it’s women playing #soccer. Everyone should implicitly understand the appeal of women playing soccer. If you don’t, you must hate living.

But beyond the obvious, there’s many other reasons.

The Northern Super League is only in its 2nd year of play, and already it’s one of the best women’s soccer leagues in the world. All the games are well-attended. And we got talent from all over the world who are absolutely dying to play in Canada.

And that’s another reason to love it: the potential. You can’t build a good #WorldCup national squad without a solid domestic pro league. If you pay women to play, they’ll get better. Which means, come 2027, Canadian Women’s National Team has a big shot at winning it all.

Which we can’t say about the men’s team. Not diminishing the men’s team, I’m just pointing out the reality.

Next, Swangard Stadium. It only seats around 5,000 people, but it’s outdoors and the field is grass instead of turf. I hope they expand it for more seats because every Rise game is packed.

Also, the merch. The uniforms look fantastic. I bought my wife a jersey and a hat, and she looks great in it.

Can’t say enough good things about the food. Yes, you got your standard hot dogs. But there’s premium food trucks on the concourse serving a wide array of cuisine—including a killer Mexican truck that’s to die for.

The supporters are fire too. Shout out to the Crow Collective. Lots of spirit, great chants, and full of fire.

Finally, the Rise have stars. I love Yuka Okamoto, Latifa Abdu, Quinn, Melissa De Filippo, Anna Bout. Every time I see them on pitch, I can’t help but light up. They’re not just players. They’re not just my team. They’re like family—my girls.

And how awesome would it be to watch them lift up the Diana B. Matheson trophy for a second year in a row—which is the most beautiful trophy in women’s sports?

Now watching Vancouver Rise vs. Halifax Tides.

I was debating whether or not to watch this game in the stadium, but it’s overcast today with sporadic rain. So instead I’m watching on TSN. Later on, I will be attending the BC Lions game at 4PM, and I’m looking forward to that.

I’m a big booster of Vancouver’s local women’s pro sports teams, the Rise and the Goldeneyes. It’s great entertainment.

After the #WorldCup, I have several thoughts.

First off Canada did well. The best we’ve ever done. Not only did we win a game for the first time, we beat South Africa in the knockout rounds. Made it to the Round of 16.

But I hope the momentum keeps up.

I hope that Canadians not only support he national team, but also their local clubs. We have three teams in the #MLS. And we have the #CPL—a young domestic league that’s already good enough to beat MLS teams. Several semi-pro teams are sprouting up, and they’re proving to be a great pipeline for talent.

And even though this was the men’s World Cup, we should never forget that a women’s World Cup is happening next year—for which Canada has a big chance to win the whole thing. Amongst women’s national teams, Canada is ranked #9.

We have a great women’s #soccer league too. In only its 2nd year, the #NSL is top 5 women’s league in the world that’s already one of the most attended women’s soccer leagues anywhere. And talent from around the world is coming over here to play in that league.

So support local Canadian soccer. And while we’re at it, all forms of #football too.

Full-time.

That was a bitter loss for the Vancouver Rise. Not going to lie, they didn’t play well at all. Too many missed passes, too many shots that weren’t made.

Wife was let down. But what can you do? At least she got a hat and a jersey.

Vancouver gets a red card which results in a penalty shot for Ottawa. And Ottawa scores!

Half-time.

Great back and forth action. This is just a delightful day to catch a #soccer game.

Game could go either way. Both the Rise and Rapid are giving it their all.

Look at how packed Swangard Stadium is!

Nearly 5,000 have shown up to watch women’s pro #soccer.

Gotta love the Rise! They’re our girls!
