Kickin' it in the Cascades
Congrats to Vancouver, Major League Soccer's newest hometown. The remodeling plans (especially the soccer-specific configuration) for their future home ground, BC Place, are jaw-dropping -- go check 'em out ASAP.
It's an opportune moment to pay tribute to my homeboy Steve Nash -- top NBA point guard, soccer fanatic, MLS Vancouver investor, BC native, son of a Tottenham Hotspurs alum and possibly the greatest all-around athlete in Canadian history...
And how about some love for another soccer hotbed just a few hundred miles down the Pac NW coast. Seattle? Not this time. Sure, the Sounders are blowing up the spot, as the kids say these days -- but their not-so-friendly rivals down in OR are about to have their day, too.
Rose City, welcome to MLS.
